Paddle boarding in Juneau from Douglas Island was a truly unique and breathtaking way to experience the beauty of Alaska. I could not have been more pleased with this adventure. I felt like it was the perfect amount of time, and it offered a great view of Mendenhall Glacier. We got to see some sea lions and eagles, which is always fun! And I appreciated the patience and insight that the guides gave as we paddled out and around. Highly recommend!!!

Had an absolutely AMAZING time, perfect way to enjoy the beauty of Juneau without fighting the crowds, great views of the area and the glaciers. Dry suits work amazing, we got to jump in a few times without ever getting wet! Our tour guides were the absolute best about curating the tour to what we wanted. Would HIGHLY recommend this tour even if you only have one day in Juneau, would give 10 stars if that was an option.

Easily the coolest experience I’ve had in Alaska! Spectacular views and even though it was raining the dry suits made it so I was warm! The guides made us feel super comfortable.
