Overview
Experience the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness on this 3.5-4 hour adventure to the Mendenhall Glacier. This adventure starts off at the cruise ship docks as an expert guide will transfer the guaranteed, small group on a narrated 30 minute journey to the West Glacier boat launch in the Tongass National Forest. Guests gear up in top quality waterproof gear and after a quick paddle lesson, will launch the canoe onto the Mendenhall Lake to start the journey. Surrounded by steep cliffs filled with Arctic terns, mountain goats, porcupines, and other wildlife; enjoy the serenity of this adventure deep into Alaska. Feel the cool brisk air coming off the glacier as the guide safely navigates the canoe to the best viewpoints of the blue crevasses and seracs on the toe of the Mendenhall Glacier. Be one of the few to step away from the crowds and get face to face with glacier. This Tour is canoeing only and DOES NOT INCLUDE hiking on a glacier.

This was a fabulous canoe trip. Kelsie with Liquid Alaska Tours gave us great instructions, and suddenly we were paddling across beautiful Mendenhall Lake straight towards the amazing Mendenhall Glacier before us. Indescribable actually, especially from the unique perspective of being in a canoe at the base of such a huge glacier. I highly recommend this excursion for anyone visiting Alaska. And thank you to Kelsie. We had a great time!

Paddling the Mendenhall is without a doubt the best way to spend a day in Juneau! Happy to hear you had a great time with Kelsie! Thank you for the review!

Our canoe/paddle to Mendenhall Glacier was spectacular! We got unbelievably close with fantastic views. Matt was a fantastic guide! Extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the formations, wildlife, and history of the lake and glacier. Definitely a good arm workout too.
