What are people saying about Juneau

Elizabeth_W, Jul 2026

Worth every penny!

This was probably our favorite adventure on our visit to Alaska. Everything was smooth and easy to navigate. Everyone was kind and fun. We booked this specific tour because of our travel itinerary and we are so glad we did. We were extremely impressed with how the dogs were treated. We have heard some places just run their dogs ragged. This place is not that. You will learn all about how the animals get to retire on their own terms. It was the best! The only downside is that it does feel a bit rushed. I understand getting folks in and out. Just wish there was a little more time at the end to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Still a 5/5 experience! My kids haven't stopped talking about it. Priceless memories were made and tons of giggles on our ride :)

Mendenhall Glacier Lake Canoe Tour

Once in a lifetime glacier views and fantastic guides!!

This was a FANTASTIC experience - We had the best time learning all about the glacier and the area around it, while paddling out to see the glacier up close. Our guide, Sophia, was hilarious, kind, thoughtful, and made the entire day feel so much more exciting - The knowledge she had and was able to share, along with answering all of our questions and telling some pretty funny jokes, was truly astounding. This is definitely an "active" activity and it is truly a "this is what you make of it" activity as your closeness to the glacier depends entirely on how far you and your group are able to paddle the canoe (along with wind and weather conditions) but our group was fantastic and we made it EXTREMELY close to the glacier! All in all I would 100% recommend this activity to others, and I would absolutely go on any other excursions that this company has to offer (especially with Sophia as our guide).

Great experience!

We loved this experience! Sophie and Tor were the best guides. They were knowledgeable, kept us safe and really funny! They had us laughing throughout the canoe ride. It was really neat to canoe across the lake and then hike so close to the glacier. There was hardly anyone else there, so it was peaceful and the views were so beautiful. A really fun day!

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.

Good for first=time helicopter passengers!

Awesome experience for a first-time helicopter passenger (I was)! Everyone was on time and very professional. The pilot was great! I will say, if you're experienced in flying in helicopters, I would not recommend this tour for a "glacier hike." We touched down on a random area of the glacier and walked around the immediate vicinity- not a dynamic experience, but it was a good experience overall. Very safe.

We absolutely loved our...

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).

Fun, unparalleled views of the glacier and nugget falls

We had perfect weather, which allowed amazing views of the glacier and falls. Totally worth it for the perspective that you can't get any other way. The guides were amazing! Snacks provided on the stop at Nugget Falls. Rain boots provided. It was a workout! It was very windy the day we went, so what normally feels like a 5 mile trip was more like paddling 10 miles. The whole team works together, and has fun. It was a great time - MUST DO!
