Mendenhall Glacier Float Trip

Overview

A must-see sight while in port in Juneau is the Mendenhall Glacier and on this exciting 3.5-hour white-water rafting tour, you'll get up close to this impressive natural wonder! Sit back and have fun as your guide paddles you through Class II and III rapids at the foot of the glacier.

Had lots of fun. Our guide Adam Bergen was great. There was one section where the raft got stuck, but his perseverance got us going. The views were amazing and aside from a few rapids, very peaceful.

Kayden our guide was amazing! So knowledgeable and friendly. Truly wonderful! The scenery was great and the snacks at the end a very nice touch! Our only criticism is 10 people in a raft was uncomfortable It would have been a five star trip with 2 less people in the boat!

This was an incredible excursion while stopping in Juneau on my Alaskan cruise. I would highly recommend it. We met downtown and took a bus to where the rafts were on the river. First, we got to choose which type experience we’d like to have: sit back, relax and let the guide do everything, or participate by getting to paddle. We chose the latter. The guide still does a lot so don’t be worried the trip depends on your rowing skills! They provide waterproof clothing, boots, jackets, etc. I asked for a waterproof bright yellow jacket and they provided it. Just ask for what you need. They were all super nice and helpful. They will take your belongings and shoes and you’ll get them back at the end. The guide explained all the terminology about rowing and his commands. It all sounds scarier than it is. It’s exciting and fun but it’s not scary at all. The views are incredible and it’s a nice scenic ride down the river. The guide informs the guests about the river, the glacier, recent events (terrible flooding), etc. Our guide (Trent) was very entertaining and informative. It’s a wonderful way to experience this part of Alaska close up. Once done, you’ll remove all the waterproof gear and put your shoes back on. They offer photos for sale that were taken from the shore as your group rafted by. They had Apple cider, reindeer sausage, crackers, and cheese. Your bus driver meets you there and takes you back downtown. Our driver offered to drop us wherever we wanted so that was nice. Don’t forget to tip your guide! Again, I’d highly recommend this float trip.
