Mendenhall Lake Canoe Adventure

Loved our adventure today thanks to our very knowledgeable friendly guide Leah. We paddled around Fritz cove, Sussed out the vegetation along the shores, up close and personal with the friendly bald eagles. Beautiful scenery and well organised. Would recommend. Thank you to Leah.

This was a very fun way to spend the few hours we had in Juneau. All of the staff was very kind and helpful, but particularly our tour guide, Anna. We did the Mendenhall Lake Canoe Adventure, and she was very knowledgeable and fun to spend a few hours with. She did everything, from help us in and out of the boat, to tell us facts about a resident porcupine, to fighting off a bear and raven duo that threatened to put a damper on our trip. Don’t believe me?Guess you’ll just have to be lucky enough to have Anna as your guide! She truly loves her job and you can certainly trust her with your safety.

All in all, this was a great experience. They gave us time to get out of the boat and walk around/take pictures and even had snacks ready to go for us. Thank you for giving my family a great day!

Very good. Our guide Tyler was a lot of fun. It was a moderate work out (I’d never canoed before) but definitely not too strenuous and any fitness level could do this! Great way to see the glacier and Nugget falls.

Lots of work ! And windy. The lake, waterfall and glacier were fantastic. Bit they don’t tell you that it’s a 2 person wide canoe and everyone has to paddle for 45-60 minutes out, then same coming back. Recommend for healthy and fit only. Overall fun… but too much work

I was a little worried after seeing some of the more recent reviews but we had a great time overall. Because the boats were a little bit more crowded it allowed our kids to not have to worry about rowing. The kids were cold and in true kid fashion were ready to be done. It was chilly but totally doable, especially with all of the gear on. We were able to see the glacier just fine on the 1:30 tour but heard the tour before us couldn't see it at all due to the fog. Spent a few minutes at Nugget Falls before rowing back. Wasn't able to see the other portions of the park but had talked to someone selling tours to see if we could/should do both but they said only one was necessary.

I wouldn’t recommend this excursion to older people especially if they have shoulder problems and/or don’t like the cold/rain.

More work rowing than expected, picture was misleading bc didn’t get that close to glacier at all, other canoe crew ate all the snacks at beach bc we were second canoe to get there and we almost crashed into other canoe based on guide’s judgement when got back.

Overall a great experience, However the guide was inexperienced and this almost leas to injury within our group. We barely had time for pictures at waterfall, which was because our group had a large number of children. A more experienced guide could of given more instructions.

Kaden was our raft guide. He made the experience fun and educational! Felt very secure during the trip. The views were spectacular. Highly recommend!
