Cora was our driver - she was energetic and knowledgable. She provided commentary a lot of the way there that was appreciated! We had 30 mins at the first waterfall, and 40 mins at the second. It is quick but you're still able to take it in. We sped up the stairs at the second waterfall and there are a lot of them. The beach is where you can do lunch so you have more time. She spoke very highly of the soups there and listen to that recommendation! I am vegetarian so I had the turnip soup (it's vegan friendly) and it was soo DELICIOUS! My husband had the lamb soup and he loved that too! I chose this glacier hike because I thought intermediate would be a good pace for us but we definitely could have done more. It was an absolutely beautifully mesmerizing hike. There were a lot of stops for photo ops which was nice but more than was needed - it took away from the "hiking" experience I was expecting out of this. I would describe it more as beginner with the challenge of using crampons. Our guide was good with the varying capabilities of the people in our group though.
