Mendenhall Lake kayak tour: paddle to the glacier★★★★★★★★★★ 4.24 (54)3h 30mA guided kayak tour on Mendenhall Lake puts you in a two-person kayak paddling across iceberg-studded water toward Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls, with a live guide who teaches proper technique and points out native wildlife. The tour operates under a limited U.S. Forest Service permit that keeps group size small; life jackets, rain gear, and snacks are included. The 3.5-hour outing is grouped by paddling ability so beginners and experienced kayakers travel at a comfortable pace.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to paddle among icebergs and stand (or float) in front of Mendenhall Glacier's face—the limited Forest Service permit keeps the group small and the water uncrowded, which is what makes the experience feel like you've found something few travelers get to see.Kids −22%fromUS$ 279View ›

Mendenhall Lake Kayaking: paddle past icebergs to a salmon bake★★★★★★★★★★ 4.43 (23)5hKayak across Mendenhall Lake in two-person stable kayaks, navigating icebergs while your guide points out native wildlife and the history of Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls. The activity includes full raingear, life jackets, instruction before launch, pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points, and an all-you-can-eat salmon bake at Gold Creek with sides, salads, beverages and blueberry cake. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent; those 13 to 17 need a signed parental consent form. The tour runs 5 hours and is weather dependent.Is it for me?At 5 hours total, this activity fills most of a day but leaves room for other stops in Juneau before or after. The paddling itself takes roughly two hours of active upper body work, so you need moderate fitness and the ability to handle a kayak; it's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries. The weather-dependent schedule means you'll want to confirm conditions the day before.Kids −25%fromUS$ 319View ›
