Matt and Kelsey gave an amazing tour. Once in a life time trip. It’s not as physically demanding of a excursion as you would think and getting to get up close and personal with the ice berg itself is worth the effort. Worth every penny and so glad I did it!

A paddle ride across the Mendenhall Lake, although physically demanding, always well worth it! Thank you for coming out with us!

We did the canoeing and glacier tour with from a cruse (but not booked through a them) we found them online and thought the trip looked good. The canoeing was fun, it was good to get a bit of exercise and glacier was incredible. We were very impressed with our guides Paul and Kelby. They were really knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the area with us. We also liked how seriously they took safety. This was a great tour and a really good way to see this beautiful part of Alaska.
