Remo y senderismo en canoa por el glaciar Mendenhall
Descripción
La caminata y remo en canoa por el glaciar es nuestra aventura más buscada. Su viaje comienza en el lago Mendenhall, donde un guía en canoa le dará instrucciones sobre cómo remar. Equipado con equipo, suba a bordo de su espaciosa canoa y ponga rumbo al glaciar Mendenhall. Sea testigo de las zonas de anidación de los charranes árticos y de las cascadas Nugget Falls mientras pasa, con impresionantes vistas del glaciar a lo lejos. A medida que el glaciar se acerca, mantén los ojos bien abiertos para ver si hay icebergs recién desprendidos. Salga de las canoas y camine por el terreno rocoso, obtenga vistas íntimas del glaciar y aprenda sobre su rápido retroceso. Explore esta antigua naturaleza salvaje de la edad de hielo y maravíllese con sus características de hielo, incluidas grietas, caídas de hielo en la base del glaciar y otros misterios de color azul profundo. En constante cambio, el glaciar ofrece una experiencia única cada día. Este recorrido no se adentra en el glaciar, pero ofrece vistas de primera fila. Después de sumergirse en el glaciar, suba a bordo de las canoas y reme de regreso a través del lago Mendenhall.

I had a fine time on my recent trip with Above and Beyond Alaska. The weather was fantastic and the company worked with me on rescheduling to ensure that bad weather did not cancel my trip. I very much enjoyed the paddling while talking with the two excellent guides, one each way. They were informative, interested in their clients, and enthusiastic. The only down side for me was that the glacier is so-clearly diminished from when I had seen it some 20 years back. I knew this was the case, but seeing it up close again really brought that reality home. It was a grim but important reminder of what we humans are doing to our world.
We had an excellent outing, a canoe paddle and hike out to the Mendenhall Glacier. Our guides were Carla and Reina - they both did a fantastic job of getting us geared up and giving instruction on handling the canoe. They also gave expert commentary about the glacier that included history and changes in nature that affect the glacier, local waterways and the area community. Altogether a great experience.
Absolutely five stars for Alaska Above & Beyond. Our guides were the best — enthusiastic, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the glacier. Their energy made the entire experience unforgettable. The tour was worth every penny. Beautiful sights, stunning glacier views, and a well‑organized flow from start to finish. It’s such an incredible way to see Alaska up close and personal, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting. If you’re considering this excursion, don’t hesitate. It truly goes above and beyond.
Skye and Grant were great guides. They made sure we had all the right gears and guided us on our paddle and trek. They were both extremely knowledgeable of the geology and culture of the area, which made this the most educational tour we had on this trip! 🤩 And it was BEAUTIFUL! 😍 It was definitely more paddle, barely any walking. I am not sure if I would call it strenuous. We actually had everyone paddling, maybe that’s why it felt very easy.
Seeing the immensity of a glacier before it disappears due to global warming is one of the most wonderful experiences you can have. Paddling for 9 km. (6 miles), is well worth it to reach the other side of the lake and do a brief hike to see the ice wall that, although it is receding more and more, remains totally impressive.
Jasper and Heather are amazing guides and I totally recommend this tour. They had excellent equipment and even gave us water and yummy snacks in case we got hungry. We got really close to the glacier, saw some goats in the mountains, and the guides shared interesting information and answered a bunch of our questions.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with your guides and enjoyed all aspects of this tour. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to them. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Alaska someday!
An unforgettable experience getting so close to a glacier, albeit physical exertion required!! Hallie & Mike, along with the other guides brought the trip alive providing information & knowledge about what we were seeing & the local area. Despite it being a wet day, we still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The wet weather gear provided was invaluable & the snacks & souvenir water bottle a lovely addition.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear the trip was unforgettable and that our guide team helped bring the glacier and local area to life—even on a wet day. We’re glad the wet weather gear made a difference and that you enjoyed the extra touches like the snacks and souvenir water bottle. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again in the future!
I recently did this canoe paddle and hike to Mendenhall Glacier and it was wonderful! I wish I could remember the 4 guides names' because they deserve a shout out! (Riza and Lisa were 2 of them) They worked so well together as a team. We started at their garage where they outfited each of us (and there were 19 on the trip!) with waterproof boots, pants and jackets. Topped it all off with PFD's that they came around and made sure were adjusted properly. They reviewed where we were going and then drove to the lake, had a safety briefing and some instruction. As a group, they expertly led us across the lake, to beautiful Nugget Falls before pulling out at a beach nearer the glacier. They shared their knowledge of geology, wildlife and the glaciers. They even packed us a delicious lunch in bento boxes! Arrived back at the starting point under an Eagle's watchful eye. I would highly recommend this adventure! Awesome experience!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed review! It's great to hear that you had a good time with our guides and that they shared their knowledge with you all -- and we're glad you enjoyed our equipment and snacks. Thanks for making us a part of your time in Alaska!
This excursion out to the Mendenhall Glacier and back is worth your time! Lisa and Keaton lead our team of rag tag paddlers through glacial water and winds beautifully!
Thank you for this review! We're so glad you enjoyed your time canoeing to the Mendenhall with us. We will pass on the positive feedback to your guides. Come join us on another adventure soon!
Very fun adventure, rain gear, including boots are provided to keep you dry. Guides are very informative about the glacier and Juneau area.
