Traveler reviews
Unforgettable experience
It’s was an awesome experience! Lots of hard work paddling for 2 hours a total of 6.5 miles through rain and mist especially for first time paddlers, but Cortland our guide made it look easy. (It wasn’t). The views of both Nugget falls and Mendenhall glacier up so close was an amazing feeling and truly invigorating. We also had a fun group of other paddlers who we met for the first time. Overall a must do .
Canoe adventure
Tor was such a great guide! Very knowledgeable about the history of the area, the glacier and wildlife. She is very funny, too. Overall, a fantastic afternoon!
This was a beautiful tour...
This was a beautiful tour but a workout!! 2 couples and our guide, Sophie. She was young, vibrant and fun! We would recommend this tour
Total 10 out of 10!
Absolutely amazing excursion! We booked through our cruise line so did not know until meeting Hannah at the pier that the excursion would be operated by Liquid Alaska. I would book directly with them in a heartbeat again if I could. Hannah and Joe couldn’t have been more professional, entertaining, informative and fun! My daughter and I felt safe and well-informed the entire time, and Joe and Hannah kept the interesting info on local ecology, wildlife and culture coming. Coupled with the freakishly beautiful day we had, our experience at Mendenhall was a total 10 out of 10! I am very glad to have learned an authentic porcupine call, and have a newfound respect for Matthew McConaughey. Joe needs to polish his comedy act, but besides that, no complaints ;-) Thanks so much again! Keep it up. You guys rock!
Great time on the water with Cortland
Had a great time on this trip! Cortland was awesome as a guide and narrator. I felt extremely safe and comfortable with him.
