We had an awesome time with Schuyler. Beautiful scenery and Schuyler was very super friendly and entertaining. The guides and staff were all super friendly and helpful. When we completed the trip Sam was there to help each of us off the raft onto land. There was warm cider, water and charcuterie waiting for us before getting bussed back to our drop off point, that was a nice touch!

We had an enjoyable experience floating down the Mendenhall River with Kyle as our guide. He was very funny stepping on the bus to recite the waiver word for word, and he got us through a few tricky spots on the river with his drill sergeant like shimmy commands. He had very good local knowledge as well. The tour itself was a bit slow due to another raft getting stuck for at least 20 minutes or so but all in all we had fun and we even got to see a seal pop it’s head out of the water.

The guide was wonderful, the crew great. Waders are provided, but you will want some waterproof boots - or a change of socks. Your camera will most likely get wet, so have a waterproof camera or case for it. I did this same tour 5 years ago and it was stunning. Unfortunately, the glacier has receded quite a bit and due to flooding a couple of years ago, a lot of the vegetation along the river was destroyed. The rafting was fun - but I would have enjoyed a wildlife sightseeing trip more.
