Ryan and Kevin led us on an adventure of a lifetime! We were well outfitted and well informed about what was coming up. The tour guides were so knowledgeable about the glacier and the surrounding area, and they were a lot of fun! We saw the most stunning views! It was the highlight of our Alaska cruise. I highly recommend!

If you do ONE excursion in Juneau, this is it! We stayed overnight to do this excursion and Wow! am I glad I did! Bryce and Paul, our guides were awesome hosts and while paddling the canoe was a bit tiring, it's walking a mile over and around and all over the Mendenhall glacier that was beyond cool!!! To get off shore and actually walk all over the glacier, and even drink glacier water was so amazing! A once in a lifetime event. Don't miss it. P.S. pro tip: bring a flask of vodka for the apple cider @ end of the trip; you'll thank me later!
