Incredible experience! What a fun way to see the Mendenhall Glacier! Ryan and Casey were outstanding guides which made the morning so enjoyable. Everything was provided (dry sacks, waterproof boots, water/snacks, waterproof gloves, rain jackets, waterproof pants, crampons, helmets, life jackets). The name brand gear was in great condition and made the trip comfortable. We paddled as a group in a canoe across Mendenhall Lake and then put on helmets and crampons for a guided walk on the glacier. There were no ice caves available but a black bear was nearby which was an exciting part of this memorable adventure! Don’t miss this!!!

This was one of the highlights of our vacation. Maybe THE highlight. The canoe ride to the glacier was incredibly peaceful, Liquid Alaska let us borrow high-quality rain gear, and our guides (Ryan, Andrew, and Casey) were all friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to take a million photos for their guests. We highly recommend this tour.
