10/10 recommend! Sophie and Devin were our guides and they were outstanding. Easy meet-up at the dock, high quality gear/clothing, and gorgeous views. The paddle was about an hour each way ( your arms will be sore!) and we spent about 45 minutes hiking near the glacier and hitting the best photo ops! An amazing day in Juneau

What an unforgettable adventure! Biko and Justin were our guides and they are SO awesome!!!! Despite a rainy start at the dock, our Mendenhall Glacier tour turned out to be amazing. As we reached the lake, the clouds parted, and we were treated to stunning SUNNY views. The canoe ride across the lake was filled with laughter, thanks to our guides’ great humor. The waterfall was incredible to witness, roaring with power after a hard rain! Once we reached the shore, we hiked up close to the glacier, and our knowledgeable guides shared fascinating insights about the rocks, minerals, and the glacier itself. One of the highlights was holding a piece of ice that had broken off from the glacier—such a surreal moment. It was a bit sad to hear about how quickly the glacier is melting, but that only made the experience more special. If you're thinking of visiting, go soon before it's too late! Highly recommend this tour—an unforgettable experience from start to finish!
