Juneau Shore Excursion: Mendenhall Glacier Canoe, Paddle and Hike
Beskrivelse
Glacier Canoe Paddle and Hike er vores mest eftertragtede eventyr. Din rejse begynder ved Mendenhall-søen, hvor en kanoguide vil give padleinstruktion. Udstyret med udstyr, stig ombord på din rummelige kano og sæt kursen mod Mendenhall-gletsjeren. Oplev de arktiske ternes redepladser og de brusende Nugget Falls, mens du glider forbi, med en fantastisk udsigt over gletsjeren i det fjerne. Når gletsjeren nærmer sig, skal du holde øjnene åbne for nykælvede isbjerge. Forlad kanoerne og vandre i det klippefyldte terræn, få en intim udsigt over gletsjeren og lær om dens hurtige recession. Udforsk denne ældgamle istids vildmark og forundre dens istræk, herunder sprækker, isfald ved gletsjerens tå og andre dybblå mysterier. Gletscheren skifter konstant og byder på en unik oplevelse hver dag. Denne tur begiver sig ikke op på gletsjeren, men giver udsigter fra forreste række. Efter at have fordybet dig ved gletsjeren, gå ombord på kanoerne og padle tilbage over Mendenhall Lake.

We had such a great time on this trip!! Heather was amazing and took great care of us! From the time she picked us up and we got dropped off the service was outstanding. To Stand so close to the Glacier was a once and life time experience. Even after losing a cell phone could not affect the experience. A must do if you have the chance!
All of the employees were very friendly and helpful. The whole day was a great experience. Rain gear, boots and snacks were provided. The guides gave great information on everything that we were seeing and what was there before.
Thank you for the great review! We’re so happy to hear you had a wonderful experience and that our team helped make the day enjoyable. We’re glad the provided gear and snacks were appreciated and that the information shared along the way added to your adventure. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback!
Mason and Issy were amazing. They were professional, funny and worked well together. My wife and I taking a canoe, paddling and standing in front of the glacier was such a great experience. One we will never forget and recommend to anyone. You will enjoy it.
Thank you for this positive review! Paddling to the glacier surely is an incredible experience. We hope to see you in Juneau again someday!
This excursion was the most amazing experience! I can't say enough about our guides Kayley & Mike! From the moment they picked us up at the port and took us to get our gear and then on to the canoe it was obvious what a professional, knowledgeable, and friendly team they were! The canoe ride was so peaceful and then as we got closer to the glacier - the temperature dropped and we were in awe of it's beauty. The time we spent enjoying a snack and just enjoying the beauty of the glacier was only exceeded by the hike we did to get even closer! Then the canoe trip back and getting so close to the falls was just spectacular! I would rate this company, the guides, and the whole experience a 10 out of 10 and then even more. Thank you Kayley and Mike for an amazing time - memories for a lifetime for sure!
Thank you so much for this review, we're so happy to hear your trip with Kayley and Mike went well. We're glad you made us a part of your Alaska trip, and hope to see you again soon!
We had such a fantastic outing with our guides to the Mendenhall Glacier! The guides were fun and cared about our experience with them.
This was an AMAZING trip! I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to write this review that I forgot our guides' names, but they were fantastic (9/20/2024 at 8:30am if it helps get them the kudos they deserve). The canoeing was enough work to feel like an adventure, but not intimidating at all, and we felt like we were in great hands as we learned how to work together to get about 3 miles down the lake from the launching point. We had fabulous close views of both Nugget Falls and the Mendenhall Glacier from the water. Once we landed, we had time to take photos, eat snacks, and enjoy some hot beverages toted out for us before a short hike to learn the history of glaciation in the area. We got so lucky with weather, and the lake was like glass for our paddle back. Absolutely no regrets about this tour- if you're considering it, do it!
The Glacier was stunning, the scenery was amazing, and our guide Josh was unreal. He was informative, high energy, encouraging, and made our excursion memorable - would book with ABAK again for sure!
Thank you for your incredible review! We're so glad to hear that you had such an amazing experience on your glacier excursion. Josh is truly a fantastic guide, and we're delighted that he made your trip so memorable. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Alaska in the future!
Our guide Ian was engaging, knowledgeable, and really friendly! He knew so much about Juneau, and Alaska, in general and was great at teaching us the best way to canoe! There were four of us canoeing and Ian took us close out to Nugget Falls and then over to a “beach” right by the Mendenhall Glacier. We hiked around for the absolute best view and had our snacks (provided by them, which were excellent, btw) and rested for a minute. The rocks on the beach were amazing and I could have spent hours just looking at the rocks! This tour is worth every penny and has been a highlight of our cruise so far!
Thank you for your wonderful review of your tour with Ian! We're thrilled to hear that he provided you with such an engaging and informative experience. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
This was a great adventure for us. The canoe trip across the lake was 3 miles each way. It was work but totally worth it. We were so close to Nugget Falls we could feel the mist and we were able to get close enough to Mendenhall Glacier to get great pictures.Dan and Ian were great guides and the group we were with was fun. Highly recommend!
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the canoe trip across the lake and the opportunity to get up close to Nugget Falls and Mendenhall Glacier. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
Our party of 4 thoroughly enjoyed the Mendenhall Glacier canoe, paddle and hike trip with our guides Dan and Hallie. The paddle portion was totally doable. We saw Nugget Falls up close and personal -- any closer and we would have been caught in the falls! The hike near Mendenhall was informative and provided plenty of time for photos. Our group is so pleased that we chose this trip rather than just going to the visitor's center since we got to see so much more of the receding glacier.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us! It's fantastic that you were able to get so close to Nugget Falls and appreciate the beauty of the receding glacier. We hope to see you and your group back in the future!
