Mendenhall Glacier Ice Adventure Tour

Kim_D, May 2026

Highly Recommended

Elymus and Elisha our guides were excellent! They were personable, knowledgeable and very safety conscious. The canoe and gear provided was top notch. The glacier, lake and waterfall were gorgeous and it was a spectacular feeling to know we were one of only relatively few who experience Mendenhall from this vantage point!

Juneau Helicopter and Dogsledding with Added Glacier Landing

Ana_N, May 2026

Glacier Walk Ended Up Being A Highlight!

I went in mid-May so weather ended up being not great for the helicopter to make it up to the dogsledding portion and so the team contacted me and asked if I still wanted to continue with the glacier portion prior to pick-up. I said yes because this would be my first helicopter ride and glacier walk. Alex, our tour guide, did an amazing job of getting us safely to the glacier as well as educating us throughout the trip. I had a blast and even though I was refunded a portion because of the dogsledding cancellation, I will definitely be back and hopefully get to try the dogsledding again!

Such a great experience!

This was probably our favorite excursion in Alaska. The bus driver was interesting on the way there & back and the camp was fascinating. The sledding experience was so cool! Getting to interact with the dogs & the puppies was great. I loved learning about the Iditarod race & seeing the gear.

Tour Cancelled

Full disclosure: our tour was cancelled due to bad weather so I’m basing my review on that. Obviously, these guys don’t control the weather, so we certainly don’t blame them, but we were definitely bummed to have missed out on what looked like such a fun experience. We’ve learned quickly that the weather in Alaska is a bit chaotic and each region basically makes up its own rules with Mother Nature. The operators were up front and communicated the cancellation early enough that we were able to find a different tour. The refund was initiated as soon as we were alerted of the cancellation due to weather. If I’m ever in Juneau in the future, I’ll definitely give it another shot!

Mendenhall Glacier Lake Canoe Tour

Yang_H, May 2026

Really enjoyed myself there

I'd like to sincerely thank our guide (and canoeing coach) Hannah for her efforts in making the tour rewarding! Hannah is good at coaching novice canoers, making the trip accessible and enjoyable to the whole group. She is also very knowledgeable about the glacier and the surrounding nature, offering a great collection of trivia and jokes that make the 2-hour workout on the lake feel like a flash. We managed to get to only yards away from the glacier and have a very close look at this gorgeous gift of nature, as well as a lot of seagulls hovering and resting on the rocks, which are hard to see via regular hikes on the ground. The views at the glacier are definitely spectacular and worth the efforts. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in watching the Mendenhall Glacier in detail.

Great Tour. Our Guide Carli was amazing!

Our tour guide Carli was amazing and knowledgeable (her mom and fellow tour guide sister should be very proud!) Her personality and expertise made for a fun and educational day. The ride along the coast was breathtaking as was the walk down through the woods to the water. Thank you Carli!!!!

Mendenhall Glacier View Sea Kayaking

Lourdes_F, Oct 2025

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.

Mendenhall Glacier White-Water Rafting & Scenic Float Adventure

Ian_H, Sept 2025

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.

Maggs_M, Aug 2025

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!
