Mendenhall Glacier Ice Adventure Tour

Overview

Explore Mendenhall Glacier on this exclusive adventure tour into the Alaskan Wilderness. Your expert guides will lead you on a journey across Mendenhall Lake where you will paddle together with a small group past icebergs, giant waterfalls, and wildlife. On your way to the ice, you will be surrounded by breathtaking scenery of mountain peaks nestled in the Tongass National Forest. Upon landing the canoe at a remote beach site, your guides will safely lead you on an interpretive hike around the rocky surfaces located directly in front of the glacier.

We had a fabulous time with Andrew and Matt! Wonderful guides and great people, providing all the specialized equipment, and good jokes on the paddle back. We also had perfect weather. I’m so glad that I took this trip!

I couldn't be happier with this tour. MO and Alli were supremely knowledgeable guides. Both 22 years old but you would have thought they'd been guiding this tour for twenty years. The vews we got were to die for and they provided everything for keeping you dry and safe. I had extra layers packed but only needed the long sleeve t-shirt under my rain jacket. I'm 47 years old and no expert paddler but their instruction and coaching was top notch.

Thanks You. Sounds like you had a blast and we are so happy you enjoyed your time on our adventure. We are very thankful for Alli and Mo, along with all our guides, that love their job and love sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with guests. So definitely come back again! One of the coolest things about glacier exploration is that the glacier is always changing and looks different everyday.

We had Mo and Alli as our guides. They were amazing, answered questions everyone in the group had. We started canoeing, then went up on the glacier. The experience was a once in a lifetime and the girls made it great!
