This was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had! (and I’m 50 and have traveled a lot) We did this tour because we had already seen glaciers & whales and wanted to do something different. So glad we did! My husband and I have never paddle boarded but no experience is necessary. They have all the gear (nice, new gear) and we felt like we were in great hands with Nigel, our guide. He was such a nice guy and kept the atmosphere fun while telling us a lot about the area. He definitely knew what he was doing as he didn’t even wear a dry suit! I love that it was a small group tour! It was only my family of four and another family of two. Most of us fell in the water at some point, but it was no big deal. The dry suit kept us totally dry and Nigel helped us back on the board and on we went. The scenery was beyond incredible from the middle of the water. 360° of mountain views and a great view of Mendenhall glacier. We saw seals swimming nearby and young bald eagles flying by. We even had a “picnic” in the middle of the bay! It was awesome! If you’re thinking about it, you should definitely do this tour. They are a family business and it’s clear that they love what they do and want you to love it too. They have thought of every detail. They even had waterproof phone cases attached to all the life vests so you can take plenty of pictures! I would absolutely recommend this to everybody!

We had a great experience with Paddle Juneau. Nigel was our guide and did a great job explaining how the dry suits worked, how to put them on, and how to use the paddle boards. Not only was he friendly and helpful, he is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. This is a glacier VIEW paddle boarding adventure, so you will not be paddleboarding at the Mendenhall Glacier, but off the Douglas Island where you can see the Glacier while paddleboarding. My husband and I truly enjoyed our time.

Paddle boarding in Juneau from Douglas Island was a truly unique and breathtaking way to experience the beauty of Alaska. I could not have been more pleased with this adventure. I felt like it was the perfect amount of time, and it offered a great view of Mendenhall Glacier. We got to see some sea lions and eagles, which is always fun! And I appreciated the patience and insight that the guides gave as we paddled out and around. Highly recommend!!!

Had an absolutely AMAZING time, perfect way to enjoy the beauty of Juneau without fighting the crowds, great views of the area and the glaciers. Dry suits work amazing, we got to jump in a few times without ever getting wet! Our tour guides were the absolute best about curating the tour to what we wanted. Would HIGHLY recommend this tour even if you only have one day in Juneau, would give 10 stars if that was an option.

Easily the coolest experience I’ve had in Alaska! Spectacular views and even though it was raining the dry suits made it so I was warm! The guides made us feel super comfortable.

How fun to find a paddle boarding opportunity in October in Alaska! The dry suits were ideal and I loved that this was an active experience in a beautiful setting. Seeing Mendenhall Glacier from this perspective really shows its size and the guides are so friendly - they shared great local insights! Would definitely do this again. 👍👍

Absolutely loved this experience!! We saw deals, crabs, the glacier & rainbows. It was so much fun & such a unique way to experience & see Alaska. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about doing this!!

I lived in Alaska over the summer and this was a highlight of the entire summer!! The views were incredible and it was so cool to see the glacier. I was worried about being cold but the dry suit kept me warm and dry the entire time. I even got into the water and swam around a little bit and my clothes were still completely dry when I took off the dry suit! If you’re coming to Juneau and looking for something fun and unique to do I would definitely recommend booking this tour!

Glad you had fun and stayed dry :)

The wet suit was the best! I fell in and felt just fine even in fall temperatures! Id recommend no matter the weather. It was a mix of sun and rain but the rainbows were beautiful and paddling keeps you warm! My friends & I had good laughs. Tour guides were very patient and accommodating. They even provided a break with great snacks.

Tyler & Alex were amazing tour guides and showed us some neat spots. We were able to get an amazing view of the glacier. We got somewhat near a seal. Best part stayed dry and warm the whole trip and easy to learn to paddle board.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
You killed it out there! Thanks for coming on our tour.

I had SUCH an amazing experience. Saw so much wildlife up close to crabs, bald eagles, little fishes, and seals!!! Beautiful sights of the glaciers and mountains. Overall super sweet tour and would 100% do again. They provided snacks, stable paddle boards, cool facts, and dry suits. I chose to jump in and barely got wet. 😁
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thanks for coming!! We had fun too.

I’ve been on a lot of excursions around the world and this was by far one of the coolest adventures where I truly got to experience Alaska’s beauty. The guide was awesome and well informed and the view of the Mendenhall glacier was surreal. We paddled by seals and saw massive bald eagles perched above us on a tower. The boards were super stable and easy to paddle and the stop for snacks on the beach was so enjoyable. Will be recommending to anyone I know heading to Juneau!

Thank you!! We are glad you loved Alaska so much.
