This was a heghlight of the trip for us! Our guides Mike and Biko were incredible...laid back and fun with a nice infusion of knowledgable insight. They provided us with transport, nice brand name protctive gear, snacks and a warm drink to wrap things up. If we ever go back to Alaska, we will be doing this again!

We had a really great time on this tour! To be honest, I was a bit nervous signing up for this tour based on the amount of time spent canoeing, I wasn't sure if I could handle it. But even with only a total of 6 people in our canoe, it wasn't a problem, but our core did get a work out! Our guides, Biko and Mike, were amazing! They had a lot of knowledge about the area and made the tour a lot of fun. We were able to spot a mountain goat and an arctic tern, which Mike had just taught us all about moments before. Seeing the glacier was obviously the best part, and it is definitely a view you won't get on any other tour. The company provided quality equipment that made us feel prepared and safe. We even got bags with snacks to refuel during our journey, and warm drinks at the end. I would definitely recommend this tour.

So! Much! Fun!! I went by myself boyfriend was working and this was a solo trip and my parents said it would be good for me so I went! And I do not regret it a bit! I felt like I got to know my guides, who were the sweet, fun, and knowledgeable. Justin did the canoeing and Sophie did our hiking! She was so sweet and took all of my pictures and held my hand on the one slick spot on the trail that I was nervous about! And he sang Rocky Top for me while we paddled since I’m from Tennessee (Go Vols!!) ! I love the small extra touches this company tossed in, like the coffee and the stories; it makes the tour feel so personal and extra fun! With a small group of us that day there was extra paddling but that might be al the times I’ve let myself skip arm day? Still super fun, and you feel like you got a workout by the end! Super cool trip!

Amazing large canoe adventure including hike up to Mendenhall Glacier! Guides Justin and Devyn provided a seamless transfer from Juneau, getting geared up in rain jackets/pants/waterproof boots (all provided), and getting us to/from the Glacier. Was quite the workout, but made fun by the corny jokes, expert wildlife/geology lessons and even Sea Shanty singing! Not a cheap excursion, but the memories made with 3 young-adult children and retreating glaciers which may not be accessible much longer were well worth it.

This was such a great experience! We are somewhat experienced kayakers/hikers, but working together in a larger group was so much fun. Our guides were great, entertaining, and got us up close to the glacier. Would definitely do this again!

After a ride to the Mendenhall Lake, we geared up in rain gear (provided), and set out on our large canoe with our guides, Devyn and Justin. It was a challenging paddle 45min-1hour to the base of Mendenhall glacier. From there we hiked to within 500feet but unfortunately couldn’t get onto the glacier as it’s receded to the point where it would have taken a much longer hike. After another vigorous round of paddling, we arrived back at the basecamp where we were given Warm drinks to finish up. What a great trip and amazing memories!

The trip was great! There were plenty of amazing views throughout the lake that the guides give you a chance to capture. Having never canoed before, our guides Dawson and Justin introduced it to our group really well. Our guides were full of knowledge about the area and were entertaining throughout the canoeing and hiking. Overall the experience was really great and was topped off by Dawson and Justin hitting a double team takedown on a brown bear

colen287

Dawson wrestled a bear and Justin caught a few salmon with his bare hands. Views were good and spots were unmatched. Only negative is that I wasn’t allowed to swim in the water :(

We had an amazing experience with Mike and Devyn canoeing to the Galcier. Devyn picked us up from our cruise waiting site and was so friendly. Both Mike and Devyn were welcoming, knowledgeable and entertaining. They guided us while giving us information about the glacier and wildlife. They took time to give us breaks when necessary and help those that needed a little extra attention. I highly recommend Liquid Alaska Tours when in Juneau, AK. Mike and Devyn are AMAZING!!!

What a great excursion. Ice Adventure had everything ready for us. Rain jackets, pants, boots, helmets, poles and pack with snacks. We did a scenic 5 mile round trip out to Mendenhall Glacier. Jordan and Shayla trained us well to paddle on count and we in fact made it to the beach ahead of schedule. No fear, Shayla made sure we took breaks as we paddled each way. They also kept us entertained with jokes and tall tales aka fib stories! We got to see a porcupine, super cool!. The only bad part about this excursions is it will spoil you for when your cruise ship goes by glaciers- you will think the scenery is beautiful but you will be thinking I was so much closer to a glacie when I did this excursion. We were extremely blessed to have the glacier calving 3 times during our trip - if you are lucky as well you will always remember that sound. Upon our return there were hot beverages all around. We would highly recommend Ice Adventure, Shayla and Jordan, we would do this excursion again!
