Traveler reviews
A fun time with exercise.
We had a great time. The admission fee was reasonable. The time spent was well worth the trip. The atmosphere was light. The crowd size was only 6 people. Joe, our guide was knowledgeable, personable, and funny. We are glad we went. A load of great pictures.
A MUST experience in Juneau
It’s such an amazing experience! The Mendenhall Glacier and Lake are fantastic of course, however our tour guides- Hannah and Sophie, are the highlight who make the trip even better with their energy and knowledge. Also, the quality of the equipments the company offer are excellent. Highly recommend and definitely one of the unique experiences in Juneau.
If you want to have fun paddling, book with Hannah and Sophie
Sophie and Hannah are GREAT GUIDES! They made our trip so much fun. We were only 4 people on the canoe and with little experience. They helped us to paddle well and gave great insights of the area and glaciers. On top of that, they are funny! They made the trip so much fun and forgot about the heavy paddling that we had to do. We ended up singing I want it that way all together on the lake! They seemed to be really in love with the area and Alaska. I highly recommend this small boutique travel agency if you ever visited Juneau. The equipment (Canoe, paddle, shoes, clothing) were all in great condition. They were clean and well maintained. They also packed little snacks for us. That was wonderful.
Justin and Dawson were the best!
We went in September 2024. Justin and Dawson were our guides. We didn’t plan on going on this tour, but we booked it literally last minute when our other excursion was cancelled due to a little rain. It was so fun. They were so knowledgeable and even sang us a sea shanty while we rowed. 10/10 experience. They provided warm clothing which was great because we didn’t plan to go canoeing that day.
Highly recommend!!
It was so great to get out of the touristy parts and see the majestic glacier. Elisha was our tour guide. He picked us up at our ship dock. He was a pleasant guide and got us all set up for the canoe trip. It was so beautiful and it was cool to be on the lake on a canoe which I have never done before. The lake felt like it was just ours and seeing the beautiful scenery away from crowds in the beautiful setting.
