We did the Mendenhall Glacier Canoe excursion with Matt & Mike on July 5th, 2022, during our Princess Alaska Cruise (booked privately, not through the cruise).
What an amazing experience!!
Matt & Mike made us feel super comfortable the whole time - they were both highly professional, experienced, strong, confident, friendly and fun to be with. Their knowledge of the Glacier and environment was fascinating to listen to.
Our day on the lake was sunny but very windy - I understand other trips cancelled as lake was very choppy and canoeing would be challenging. Matt & Mike would not cancel, and with both these strong men doing heavy work canoeing our 12 men canoe, we reached the Glacier after about 90 minutes.
Hiking to the foot of the Glacier, Mike then went onto the Glacier & used a pick axe to bring us back a piece of 3000 year old ice to taste! Wow! That was incredible!!
Highly recommend Mike & Matt as your guides if you are planning this incredible adventure!! Both are amazing men, strong and confident and will look after you and ensure you have wonderful life long memories. I really appreciated that Matt & Mike did not cancel our adventure due to high winds even if it meant harder rowing for them!
Thank you Matt & Mike - hope your mom and family read this review and feel very proud of the wonderful & respectful men you are!!
