The next experience we have ever had on a vacation. Ben and Casey were absolutely the best guides who took the utmost care to make sure we had a trip of a lifetime. I loved that all of the gear needed was provided, so we just had to show up! We were able to go into an ice cave, and even saw a bear on the way to the Glacier!

If you're visiting Juneau, this is a must do. I'm traveling solo, and it was absolutely amazing to be exploring in and around a gigantic glacier with a few other folks! Ryan and Ben were the best tour guides ever also, and they did a super fantastic job and making this experience safe, engaging, and memorable. All the great canoe jokes haha, and not to mention Ryan's famous Mendenhall Mocha at the end of the whole thing... perfect! 5/5 :)

We had such a wonderful time on this excursion! Abby and Spencer were our top notch guides, who made us feel safe and provided interesting facts along the journey. We were lucky enough to go inside of an ice cave, which is extremely rare. We truly felt like this was a once in a lifetime experience, and anyone who is able to should give it a try. We highly recommend this excursion!

Going in an ice cave is extremely rare! The glacier is a flowing river of ice, so it is constantly changing. This is very exciting as it makes every tour different. Thank you!
