Mendenhall Lake Kayak Tour
Beskrivelse
Vær en af de heldige få, der oplever den majestætiske Mendenhall-gletsjer på nært hold, når du rejser med kajak, under en meget begrænset amerikansk Forest Service-tilladelse. Rejse over Mendenhall-søen i din stabile kajak til to personer, og naviger på det isbjergspækkede uberørte vand, der virkelig er et af juvelerne i Tongass National Forest. Din kyndige guide vil forklare den betagende natur, der omgiver dig, og påpege indfødt dyreliv og fascinerer dig med historien og økologien i den spektakulære Mendenhall-gletsjer. Vist inden for en sikker afstand fra den massive, ærefrygtindgydende ansigt af gletsjeren og nederdel basen af den smukke og kraftfulde Nugget Falls. Efter at have padlet tilbage over søen og taget den sidste udsigt over denne ekstraordinære gletsjer, skal du tænde med en snack i billet i Alaskan-stil og huske på den oplevelse, der helt sikkert vil være et højdepunkt i din Alaska-ferie.

First of all, this is a physically demanding experience. If you have never kayaked or canoed before, it might not be a fun time. That being said, ATA made our time on the lake fantastic. Rain gear and all equipment was provided. Kayaks were in great shape. Our guide, Edwin, did an awesome job telling us stories of the area and about his life in general (very funny 10/10). He also took some awesome pictures for us while out on the water. We do wish the experience were a little longer so we could relax and enjoy the amazing scenery more. Overall though, a fantastic trip!
The best tour we did on our cruise. What an amazing experience. How many people can say they've been to the Mendenhall Glacier. You can only get there by kayak/canoe or plane. That's it. But let me make one point, this is about a 5 mile tour in a tandem kayak. It was tiring heading back as you were with the wind. We had an absolute beautiful day, a little cool because you are in glacier water, but the sun was shining that day at about 55 - 60 degrees. Awesome experience, but be prepared to work.
Lovely kayaking tour. We especially enjoyed the company and knowledge of our experienced guide, Joseph. -1 point for not providing a wireless audio system for the guide to use.
Mitch took us on an awesome tour of Lake Mendenhall. We saw many harbor seals and eagles along with other wildlife. It was peaceful and idyllic.
Awesome kayak tour. Jessie was great, loved her witty commentary and extensive knowledge of the area during our shuttle ride to and from the lake. She even pointed out all the bald eagles that we passed! Joseph was an amazing guide. He had great anecdotes and insights about the history of the glacier, lake, and Nugget Falls. He made sure to get us lots of photos to commemorate this unforgettable adventure.
Joe did a great job keeping spirits high and bright during our kayak in the rain. Great equipment and colorful colors. The local info and suggestions were great
So much fun!! Maddy was a fantastic guide, combining skill and knowledge and humor to give us an experience that will last a lifetime.
This tour blew me away and I’m still in awe of how incredible our guide, Mikaela, was during this experience. She went out of her way to make sure we felt safe and took the time to take pictures of my group. The area was beautiful and even another guide, Sophia, went out her way to welcome us back in once done. Overall this trip was well worth it!!
Overall we had a good experience. All the team was super helpful. The scenery was beautiful. Wish that our guide, who was super sweet, would have given some background or commentary on the tour so we had some history of things. Maybe had a microphone so we could hear her. I would not recommend this trip for anyone over 6’4. My son was able to kayak but my husband who is 6’7 was not able too. Also another suggestion is to provide gloves for rowers :-).
Michael is an excellent guide / he made the experience even more enjoyable with lots of interesting information - unforgettable experience
