Experience the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness on this 3.5-4 hour adventure to the Mendenhall Glacier. This adventure starts off at the cruise ship docks as an expert guide will transfer the guaranteed, small group on a narrated 30 minute journey to the West Glacier boat launch in the Tongass National Forest. Guests gear up in top quality waterproof gear and after a quick paddle lesson, will launch the canoe onto the Mendenhall Lake to start the journey. Surrounded by steep cliffs filled with Arctic terns, mountain goats, porcupines, and other wildlife; enjoy the serenity of this adventure deep into Alaska. Feel the cool brisk air coming off the glacier as the guide safely navigates the canoe to the best viewpoints of the blue crevasses and seracs on the toe of the Mendenhall Glacier. Be one of the few to step away from the crowds and get face to face with glacier. This Tour is canoeing only and DOES NOT INCLUDE a hike.

  • Epic Glacier Adventure with Luke - and a Shoutout to His Mom, Tess!

    This glacier canoe tour was everything Alaska should be: wild, stunning, and absolutely unforgettable. Luke led our group with the perfect balance of humor, knowledge, and calm confidence. Every stroke brought a new perspective: glassy water, towering ice, and that surreal feeling of being somewhere few ever truly experience. Luke made the miles feel easy with his stories, love of his work environment, expertise, and his insider insight made the glacier come alive. Huge shoutout to his mom, Tess - clearly where he gets his warmth and storytelling charm. The gear was top-notch, Luke was well organized and upbeat, and the experience beyond anything we expected. If you’re debating it - stop. Book it. This is the Alaska memory you’ll keep forever.

    We enjoyed this well-organized experience that allowed us to be physically active while exploring an incredibly beautiful place in Alaska! We loved rowing together and feeling like we got a good workout with our friends while seeing a gorgeous waterfall, the Mendenhall Glacier, seals and eagles! We loved it and the staff was informative and helpful! Highly recommend!
