The Glacier Canoe Paddle and Hike is our most sought-after adventure. Your journey begins at the Mendenhall Lake, where a canoe guide will provide paddle instruction. Equipped with gear, board your spacious canoe and set course for the Mendenhall Glacier. Witness Arctic tern nesting grounds and the cascading Nugget Falls as you glide past, with stunning views of the glacier in the distance. As the glacier draws near, keep your eyes peeled for freshly calved icebergs. Exit the canoes and hike the rocky terrain, gaining intimate views of the glacier and learn about its rapid recession. Explore this ancient ice age wilderness and marvel at its ice features, including crevasses, ice fall at the toe of the glacier, and other deep blue mysteries. Constantly changing, the glacier offers a unique experience each day. This tour does not venture onto the glacier, but delivers front-row views. After immersing yourself at the glacier, board the canoes and paddle back across Mendenhall Lake.

Just booked the Mendenhall Glacier Canoe trip for my family!

I’m so excited! We’re going next month and I can’t wait to see the glacier up close. I’ve heard the views of Nugget Falls are incredible while paddling. Just hoping the weather cooperates! Any tips on what to bring or wear?

Did anyone do the Mendenhall Glacier Canoe and hike? How was it?

I’m thinking of gifting this experience to my brother-in-law who loves the outdoors. I saw the price is $0, which is awesome! But is it really that good? What can we expect on the hike?
