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. Here you will discover the magnificent ice features up close. Views of specific glacial features like Ice Caves and Moulins cannot be guaranteed due to the nature of the constantly moving ice.

This journey was great. Our guides Kevin and Paul were a lot of fun while being responsible. They were great about taking pics for everyone and had a lot of humor. The canoe ride is work especially on a sunny day when the winds kick up. It was a workout especially if not everyone in the canoe is in good shape or knows or how to paddle so be prepared. The views are amazing and the knowledgeable guides will teach you a lot!
