Mendenhall Glacier canoe and hike tour from JuneauThe Mendenhall Glacier Ice Adventure Tour is a guided canoe and hiking experience in Juneau that combines paddling across Mendenhall Lake past icebergs and waterfalls with a 60-minute interpretive hike on the moraine directly facing the glacier. The tour operates in the Tongass National Forest, the largest national forest in the United States, and includes expert guides, all safety gear, transportation from downtown, and refreshments; space is limited to small groups.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to paddle across a glacier-fed lake and hike the moraine in front of the ice itself—the small-group format and expert guides mean the day is fully arranged, and the combination of canoe work and steep hiking is what makes this Juneau's most physically demanding glacier adventure.
Juneau: Mendenhall Glacier & Whale Watching with Nugget Falls HikeYou drive to Mendenhall Glacier, spend nearly two hours exploring the Visitor's Center and hiking to Nugget Falls at your own speed, then board a small jet boat from Auke Bay Harbor to search for whales with a local captain. Binoculars, snacks, and hot drinks are included, and the whole day moves without long waits between stops.Is it for me?Book this if you want glacier, waterfall, and whale-watching in one morning without arranging separate transport or timing the stops yourself — the fixed itinerary and quick transfers between vehicles mean you see three major things without the logistics.
Juneau: Mendenhall Glacier Canoe Paddle & Hike AdventureYou’ll paddle across chilly Mendenhall Lake in Juneau with a local guide, passing noisy arctic terns and waterfalls before hiking right up to the face of Mendenhall Glacier. Expect cold air on your cheeks, blue ice shining in crevasses, and real stories from guides who know these waters by heart.
Mendenhall Glacier Hike Juneau: 7-Mile Trek & Glacier ViewsYou hike 7 miles through Alaska's largest temperate rainforest, gaining 800 feet of elevation over rocky, slippery terrain, to reach a ridge overlooking Mendenhall Glacier's blue ice face and Nugget Falls. Your guide leads the pace, provides snacks and water, and handles transport from your hotel. Plan for 4 to 5 hours on the trail if you're fit and conditioned for steep hiking with a backpack.Is it for me?Right for hikers with solid fitness who want to see Mendenhall Glacier's blue ice and surrounding peaks without a multi-day expedition. Expect 4 to 5 hours of steep, rocky terrain with a full backpack—that's what gets you to the glacier vista and back in one day.
Mendenhall Glacier canoe paddle and hike: 5.5 hoursA 5.5-hour canoe paddle and glacier hike in Juneau starts at Mendenhall Lake with paddle instruction, then crosses toward Mendenhall Glacier while you watch for freshly calved icebergs and Arctic tern nesting grounds. After paddling past Nugget Falls, you exit the canoes and hike the rocky terrain to explore the glacier's edge—crevasses, ice fall and deep blue features—before paddling back across the lake. A professional guide, all paddling equipment, rain gear, boots, snacks and National Park fees are included; you'll need to be in strong physical condition and able to swim.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're in strong physical condition and comfortable paddling and hiking for a full morning—the 5.5-hour commitment and the 5-to-6-mile paddle plus 2-mile hike mean this is built for travelers who can sustain effort over several hours. Shared canoes with other guests keep the cost down and build the group energy that makes paddling across a glacier-fed lake feel like an expedition rather than a solo outing.
Juneau: Mendenhall Glacier Hike & Tongass Rainforest WalkYou’ll trek deep into Juneau’s Tongass rainforest with a local guide, crossing rocky trails and mossy woods before reaching a ridge overlooking Mendenhall Glacier’s wild blue ice. Expect muddy boots, hearty snacks at the viewpoint, and moments of quiet awe you’ll carry home long after your boots dry out.
