Mendenhall Glacier Lake Canoe Tour

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.

What an adventure! I loved being out on the water, being part of a team, and exploring by foot areas just feet away from the glacier. The guides were knowledgeable sharing fun and interesting information as well as answering all the questions! All the needed gear was provided for comfort and safety. I felt I had an authentic experience getting as close to the glacier as possible. Thanks Kevin, Bryce and Liquid Alaska Tours for a top notch excursion!

Very few things can make a day with a glacier even better, and one of those things is two great guides! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review!

The tour to the glacier across the lake was spectacular. The team took really good care of us making sure we had the gear necessary to enjoy being in the lake at the glacier. My favorite part was getting as close as we did to the glacier. Bryce did a fantastic job also of sharing with us great info about Juneau, the lake and the glacier. He made our trip perfect. Can’t thank him enough also to make sure we were back in time for our boarding call.
