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.

This was an amazing tour!! From canoeing across Mendenhall Lake to hiking right next to the Glacier this tour was full of amazing views and experiences! I was fortunate to have a smaller tour group and our tour guides, Paul and Lena, did a great job catering the tour to our group in an entertaining and informative way. Would highly recommend going on this tour to Mendenhall Glacier!

Matt and Kelby are the hope of the universe. It is astonishing how compassionate, caring, and intelligent these two beautiful individuals are. Are they human? They ensured our safety, engaged with all of us, talked one-on-one about life, the Glacier, Juneau, and somehow negotiated with God to have the best scenic trip to home base. I hope that wherever their future takes them, they will continue to pierce the heavens. They’ve certainly have with us.
