Both Matt and Lena are professional and having good knowledge about glacier & lake. We saw icebergs in lake. This tour is must if you want to see Mendenhall Glacier closely.

Kels & Kelby were amazing guides! They are very knowledgeable and attentive to the clients. Our trip today was incredible, it was a bright sunny day, perfect for canoeing and hiking. The glacier view up close is breathtaking. All the gear is provided, and after the trip is concluded, hot beverages are provided! I would do this tour again with them in a heartbeat. Best experience yet so far on our Alaska trip!

Had a great time and a lot of exercise. We got stuck with a bunch of folks who didn't not know they were going to half to work to get to the glacier. Just the luck of the tour I guess. We ended up working our butts off just getting through the head wind. The payoff was nice though you don't get too far out on the glacier, very few groups will get to go where you do.
