Mendenhall Glacier Lake Canoe Tour

Calista_C, Jul 2026

Best way to see the glacier!

Wow! This was the best excursion we did on our cruise to Alaska. It was definitely strenuous, but worth all of the rowing to get that close to the glacier and the waterfall. Our guide Hannah did a great job of preparing us and keeping us on course and made the day more enjoyable with her sense of humor and great info. It was an adventure we’ll always remember!

Had a great time with the family on this excursion. Mike and Elisha were knowledgeable about the area and they made sure we were safe with their instructions and all the equipment was provided even snacks and drinks. If you want a fun and active experience, this is it.

We had a blast on our kayak tour. The weather was rainy and a bit chilly, but the guides gave us extra rain gear and boots that kept us pretty dry! Our tour guide was helpful and answered all of our questions. Our six year old had a blast and loved our guide, Oliver. The snacks were great - especially the salmon dip. Kayaking was gorgeous and peaceful. We saw some seals pop out of the water and a few salmon jumping around!

We had a fantastic time! Mendenhall Glacier was beautiful, and the float was peaceful and scenic. There was very little white water (at least the day that we went). Dalton was a fantastic guide. It was a wonderful opportunity to see a bit of Juneau away from the crowds in port.

Juneau Helicopter and Dogsledding with Added Glacier Landing

Meagan_G, Jul 2026

Awesome staff, amazing adventure

WOW! You get a Helicopter tour to a dog sled camp. The flight/scenery was beautiful. Once at camp the staff was so friendly and nice. You got to meet (and pet) the dog sled team, go for a ride. Team was so knowledgeable and seemed happy to be there! Then on the way back another helicopter ride stop top of a glacier, got to see a beautiful mini glacier lake, walk around, then ride the copter back to town. So much fun. They provided anti slip boots to which was nice, we didnt think to pack that! Thank you guys!!

Glad we did it!

We have learned to Depend on Viator. Prices are less than the cruise line, experience is better than expected, staffs are friendly and knowledgeable. The helicopter adventure was expensive but we will remember it for ever. Bite the bullet, spend the money and enjoy the trip!

We absolutely loved our dog sledding/glacier adventure! The scenery was beautiful and our pilot made sure we saw all the interesting spots as we flew and during the glacier landing. Our team of sled dogs were so lovable (one didn’t want me to leave). We got the flash drive of us sledding, which included everyone’s picture who was sledding at the same time. It was $80. You could also buy the printed pictures for $30 (for one) and $50 (for two). During the glacier walk we filled a water bottle and dipped a necklace in the glacier water. This experience was definitely a once in a lifetime moment we will remember forever! (P.S. Don’t forget your gloves and warm layers).

Mendenhall Lake Canoe Adventure

Erik_N, Jun 2026

Great Family Experience

Canoe trip gave great views of the glacier and the stop by the waterfall was a great spot to stretch out and take some amazing pictures. We traveled with our 10 year old daughter and she had fun as well. I wasn't all too strenuous and if you have a kid who doesn't necessarily want to paddle, the canoe is large enough to allow them to sit between the two adults who can do the "work"!

Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska

Rebecca_G, Jun 2026

Good choice for quick sled dog tour

Nice quick tour of a musher camp. Got to do a short ride pulled by the dogs, meet and pet them, and then hold some adorable puppies! Bus ride there takes up most of the time, but the quick tour left time to hang around Juneau and the bus driver dropped us off right in town.
