Incredible tour of Mendenhall Glacier. Casey and Andrew were helpful throughout the whole trip -- preparing our gear, taking photos for us, and sharing all the fun facts of the Mendenhall Glacier and surrounding landscape. Their expertise, personalities, and diligence to make sure we were setup to have a great time -- I can't recommend this tour enough. 10/10

Visit to Juneau included a tour with Liquid Alaska. A big thank you goes out to our guides Andrew and Casey who were fantastic and made our experience memorable. They allowed ample time to enjoy our trip to the Mendenhall Glacier via canoe and would highly recommend this booking. The ice climb photo of was a nice touch. Not to be missed folks...Liquid Alaska is top of the line. Honorable mention to Jason who was accommodating with our schedule. Thank you once again.

This was by far one of our most favorite excursions this trip. Ryan and Casey (our guides) were so friendly, personable, and knowledgeable! Their certifications made us feel safe at all times and they made sure to accommodate everyone in the group. During the canoe trip we saw a bear, and eagle attacking a seagull nest! They made sure to point things out and had tons of interesting facts. Our time on the glacier was nothing short of amazing. Safety was their number 1 priority. When we stopped for photo ops they always offered to take pictures. I would 100% recommend this excursion to anyone. The time on the water + glacier was the perfect combo! Thanks again Ryan and Casey!
