10/10 recommend! Sophie and Devin were our guides and they were outstanding. Easy meet-up at the dock, high quality gear/clothing, and gorgeous views. The paddle was about an hour each way ( your arms will be sore!) and we spent about 45 minutes hiking near the glacier and hitting the best photo ops! An amazing day in Juneau
The best tour ever!!!!!

We booked with Liquid Alaska for a super cool canoe adventure on Lake Mendenhall. We had the best day. We had guides Shayla and Sophie. They did such a great job. From the very start they were so knowledgeable, helpful, educational and fun. Shayla picked us up at the port and gave us a ride to the start point at the lake. She was able to talk to us about what was to come as well as show us things in Juneau that we were passing. Once we arrived at the Lake we were joined by Sophie, who had been getting all our gear and supplies ready. They were quick but detailed in getting all our gear sized and passed out and then getting us to the lake. While on the lake we got to row 2.5 miles out and then 2.5 miles back. Both Shayla and Sophie were great at teaching us about how to row, the area, safety, and all things Mendenhall Glacier. Once at the glacier we were able to get out and hike around the area for a good amount of time. Both guides were super helpful in taking pictures for everyone. Once we rowed back, they were really helpful in collecting our gear, making us coffee and hot chocolate and answering any and all questions we had. Sophie stayed at the lake to finish packing gear and Shayla got us back to the port on time. They worked together so well and were so fun to spend the day with. Liquid Alaska is lucky to have them and so will any future companies they work for. Thanks for a great day!
