Mendenhall Glacier Lake Canoe Tour

Epic Glacier Adventure with Luke - and a Shoutout to His Mom, Tess!

This glacier canoe tour was everything Alaska should be: wild, stunning, and absolutely unforgettable. Luke led our group with the perfect balance of humor, knowledge, and calm confidence. Every stroke brought a new perspective: glassy water, towering ice, and that surreal feeling of being somewhere few ever truly experience. Luke made the miles feel easy with his stories, love of his work environment, expertise, and his insider insight made the glacier come alive. Huge shoutout to his mom, Tess - clearly where he gets his warmth and storytelling charm. The gear was top-notch, Luke was well organized and upbeat, and the experience beyond anything we expected. If you’re debating it - stop. Book it. This is the Alaska memory you’ll keep forever.

Amazing Experience! Views, Wildlife, and a Good Time

End of the season. It was a small group of 3 people but it was absolutely amazing. Louis was our guide and he did a phenomenal job telling us about the area and the glacier. I did not expect to see wildlife but we ended up having a group of seals follow us for most of the excursion. I guess we were their entertainment lol. We saw 3 adult bald eagles. One tip: bring waterproof gloves. The water gets cold by the glacier and the paddle is cold as well.

Glacier Beauty

To start with pick up was a breeze. Short ride out of town to the lake before getting outfitted with all our gear. There Mason and the guys got us in the canoe. Now this is definitely a bit of a paddle so be prepared but it is totally worth it. We got extremely close to the glacier after paddle across the lake. When there we got out of canoe and talked about glacier and had our “rock talk” which was very interesting then got to “hunt” around for gems. Got some awesome photos with glacier so close in the background. On the paddle back stopped by the massive falls. Unfortunately the porcupines were not around this day but did see a lot of bald eagles. Even the rain at the end didn’t dampen our spirits. This tour was the highlight of our trip.

Alaskan sled dog adventure.

This was such a unique experience, very informative. The dog handler and dog team were great. She was full of interesting information about the Iditarod and knew her dog team very well. It was lots of fun. The information center and map area was very informative as well. We got to meet the camp dog, he was so sweet. We enjoyed holding the new puppies and the shuttle driver was knowledgeable about Alaska and the k Juneau are. We truly enjoyed the whole experience.

First time rafting - great

Great time - Jamie was a great rafter and she looked after us really well. First time I have done it and really enjoyed it. The river was running fast after the recent and current rain. It was a shame the weather at the start meant the view of the glacier was not as good as it should have been. Would recommend and would say book it online and not through the cruise line as far better value and the money goes to the local firm. I read poor reviews but they were spot on turned up exactly where they said and people who booked on the ship and paid a lot more were on the same trip.

Great adventure tour with a little workout!

This was a great tour. We had a small group of us, only 6 on the canoe and Gabe the guide. We got a workout, but we wanted that. We got to see so much, even though we couldn't get to Nugget Falls due to the rain and lake levels. We were able to see a little bit of the glacial lake outbreak coming under the glacier. It was cold and wet, but we didn't mind. I highly recommend this tour if you are adventurous and want to get some exercise!

A must-do excursion in Juneau!

Amazing, bucket list, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Our family loved going up in a helicopter, flying over incredible Alaskan scenery, only to land on a glacier! We walked the Herbert Glacier, drank water from a glacial stream, and even spotted some mountain goats off in the distant hills.

Segway Coastal Scenic Rainforest Tour

Great tour guide and amazing view

This was a phenomenal experience. Would highly recommend. Although I am glad my parents didn’t come because the balance issues on the way back down the hill on the Segway had me rocking and scrambling to slow down. Stressed me out. We had an eagle land, probably 20 yards in front of us and hang out, which was pretty cool and we could see the mountain off in the distance. William stopped several times and took pictures for us since we were the only two in the tour so he was our personal tour guide. So kind and patient! If you don’t feel like you have great balance, I recommend the E bikes instead of the Segways but otherwise well worth the money.

Best excursion ever!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Coastal Helicopters was amazing, truly a once in a lifetime experience! The helicopter ride itself flying over the glaciers was incredible and the dog sledding finished off the best excursion we have ever been on. Our musher Stuart was the best! Totally worth the cost! Highly recommend.
