I had SUCH an amazing experience. Saw so much wildlife up close to crabs, bald eagles, little fishes, and seals!!! Beautiful sights of the glaciers and mountains. Overall super sweet tour and would 100% do again. They provided snacks, stable paddle boards, cool facts, and dry suits. I chose to jump in and barely got wet. 😁

I’ve been on a lot of excursions around the world and this was by far one of the coolest adventures where I truly got to experience Alaska’s beauty. The guide was awesome and well informed and the view of the Mendenhall glacier was surreal. We paddled by seals and saw massive bald eagles perched above us on a tower. The boards were super stable and easy to paddle and the stop for snacks on the beach was so enjoyable. Will be recommending to anyone I know heading to Juneau!
