Definitely one of the best tours I've been on during my trip to Alaska this summer! I would especially like to highlight Liquid Alaska Tour's amazing customer service—Ryan (I believe that's his name) met me and my mom at our cruise ship early in the morning for her to sign a waiver, and also drove me to the meeting point, as the cruise ship docked farther away. I went on the tour alone and was a bit nervous at first, but Kelsie and Paul were wonderful guides; they were knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive. They made sure to look after everyone, and we were all in good hands. This trip wouldn't have been half as memorable without all of their help. It was an extraordinary experience with spectacular views, and this tour is a must, especially if you want to see the Mendenhall Glacier up close.

Thank you so much for the amazing review! I am very glad we were able to get you out with us that hectic morning! Sounds like Kelsie and Paul took it from there and gave you a great day out at the Mendenhall! Once again, we really appreciate the great review!

Yesterday was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Kelsey and Kelby were exceptionally knowledgeable, attentive, and fun. They provided all the gear and snacks we needed for the trip. Once we made it to the glacier we got to spend plenty of time taking in the beauty before we paddled back to shore. Once we arrived the trip was topped off with hot drinks. Would book this trip again in a heartbeat.
