Mendenhall Glacier Float Trip

Best excursion we did in Alaska. Much more exciting and picturesque than we expected. Tanner our guide was excellent !

Fun trip. Saw bald eagles and hit a few rapids. We were fortunate to have outstanding weather. Could have less in our "paddling boat". My wife felt squished sitting in the middle. I had front row right. Loved it. Skyler was a terrific guide.

This was one of our most enjoyable activity. The guide was very friendly and gave us lots of information. Water was chilled. You will get wet, specially if you sit in the front. Most memorable and wonderful time.

It was great to get on the water and to share this first outdoor experience with lots of other eager cheerful people.

Loved this excursion and was so much. Family of 5 with kids ages 11, 11, and 12. We chose a raft where the kids were able to paddle. The view was amazing! We sat in the middle of the lake looking at the glacier before we paddled off. We got some awesome pics. Absolutely beautiful! Weather was perfect!

Our guide Chuck was an informative guide providing insights of the surrounding and answering our group's questions while guiding the raft through the rapids.

Our guide Blaine was awesome. So funny and personable. The weather wasn’t cooperating but he made the best of it.

This was very fun and well worth doing. The Guide in our raft was very skilled and knowledgeable. The float was a good distance and some great class 3 rapids. I would do this again!

This was the excursion I really wanted and it met all of my expectations. The scenery was beautiful! It was very well organized, the staff professional and shared their excitement and knowledge. I would definitely do it again.

The staff and crew very good. The view of the glacier was a little disappointing (no fault of the company). The float trip was very mild.

This was a great excursion, we picked Carolina as our raft guide, who is the only female on the team and worked really hard. Our raft just required us to sit relax, and the odd shimmy. Fun stuff, very informative and lots of great stories.

This was a fantastic excursion. The guides are great: energetic, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, helpful. The scenery is like nothing else anywhere else (this is why you're going to Alaska, right?). They had everything down pat: where to meet the guide, how to identify him/her, the transportation to and from the launch site, the snacks and warm cider after the trip, the photos for sale. I would definitely recommend, and would definitely do again.

This was a great excursion. Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Scenery was fabulous. One thing I would say to the company is tell us on our receipt/ticket that boots and rain gear provided. We packed all that extra stuff and didn't need it. Otherwise would highly recommend this.

It helped that we had wonderful weather! Our trip was in early September and it was amazing...although the snack at the end was lacking, lol We had rapids and a delightful guide, the water was wicked and wonderful...Thank you!!

Enjoyable excursion. Putting on required attire was a task but all worked out okay. The snacks at the end of the trip were great. We lucked out with good weather.

We had an awesome adventure and group leader. We saw and heard all the group leaders being kind and humorous to their guests as well as each other. I would let others know about this trip being a must do. It's set up for all ages, young and old.

Highly recommend this tour. It was raining and cold, still We enjoyed the float trip very much.

It was a wonderful excursion. The guide was very informative and the scenery was breath-taking. The few rapids were gentle but it gave a nice thrill to the float

This group is very organized and efficient. The ride up to the start point was beautiful and the driver was informative. All our gear was provided and the float/white water ride down the river was a blast. We enjoyed the Alaskan snacks at the end.

Well done, great guides

This was great! The views are spectacuar. The River rafting guide was very freindly, knowledgealble and nice.

We had a great time on our float trip. You take a shuttle to the base of the Glacier where you are outfitted for your adventure. We hung out in the lake longer then we needed to. Once we started the trip down the river, everyone had a good time. We were seated in the front and knocked backwards by one of the rapids. It was fun and wet! The river did not have as many rapids as we would have liked. It is a nice trip for the entire family. The smoked salmon spread afterwards was delicious. We would go again!

Our guide David was excellent. We especially liked the fact that he is actually from Juneau so we got a local's perspective and stories. My only criticism is that it would have been nice to know that they provided waterproof pants and boots ahead of time, so we didn't need to pack extra clothes and shoes.

We totally enjoyed our floating and rafting trip around some of the Alaska bays.. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept us informed about interesting bits of information about this area. Also had a lot of laughs going through some "rapids". It was a trip well worth it!

The float captain was a very nice and helpful young Gentlemen. It would have been excellent to get a bit closer to the glacier.

This was a very enjoyable experience. Our guides were very knowledgable and the scenery was majestic. It rained theat day but they suited us with heavy duty rain pants and boots. You do need your own hooded rain jacket. The glacier was much smaller than I expected, a bit underwhelming but the scenery and the float trip was fun. Awesome smoked salmon spread for snack!

Thank you for a nice experience. I enjoyed the view a lot! Everyone who is nature lover and prefers to have moderate activity tour must go for it. We took a tour in early July and the weather at that particular day was absolutely wonderful. I am sure it made a great impact on the overall experience. We had fun going down the river! Be ready to become wet (bring a big towel and waterproof jacket). Thank you for snacks at the end. Also depends what tour guide will be with you in a boat. We had a very lovely girl (i forgot her name) and she was strong enough to pedal 7-8 of us! Just at times I wanted to hear more info about place/nature around, then personal questions and talks. It is my opinion, but it doesn't change my overall great experience I had. Keep it up!

Beautiful views of glacier and trip across the lake followed by a 6 mile raft trip down the river. Not exciting whitewater but interesting.

It was a great trip with an excellent guide!

We had a fun time. Enough of a thrill to be exciting, but we were never in danger. Our guide and rower was Chris and he was funny as well as educational about the area. We even appreciated the snacks and hot cider at the end of the trip.

We chose to go with others who paddled our way down river. It was great fun and we hardly got wet. Well worth the effort!

The whole excursion would have been perfect just at the landing to the lake and getting to see the glacier that close. But the rafting trip down the Mendenhall River was fantastic. And we have rafted all over the United States. This was definitely up there with my favorite rafting trips.

Good time (great weather), fine crew who were fun to be with, also very informative.
