Juneau Small Group Sea Kayaking with Mendenhall Glacier Views

Explore Juneau’s incredible coastline on this small-group kayaking adventure through the beautiful Mendenhall Wetlands. Keep your camera ready as you glide past eagles perched in the trees, harbor seals resting on the rocks, and maybe even a curious sea lion or porpoise swimming nearby. From your kayak, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind view of the majestic Mendenhall Glacier, visible from six miles away as it winds through mountain peaks. This tour is intentionally limited to no more than 8 guests, creating a quiet, intimate experience. Unlike other tours, each guest paddles their own single kayak , allowing for better control, comfort, and opportunity to explore. (Double kayaks available on request) You’ll be fully outfitted with a high-quality dry suit, keeping you warm and dry in all weather conditions. Our experienced local guides provide hands-on instruction and support throughout the tour, making this adventure ideal for first-time kayakers as well as those with prior experience.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this kayaking tour? Can I bring my 10-year-old?

A: Kids aged 10 and up can join the kayaking tour. It’s a great experience for families, but they must be able to paddle their own kayak. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need a bit of extra supervision. Make sure they’re comfortable in the water, and it'll be a blast!

Q: What should I wear for the kayaking trip? Is it cold out on the water?

A: You’ll be provided with a dry suit, which keeps you warm and dry! But under that, it's a good idea to wear thermal layers. A light fleece or quick-dry top works well. Also, bring some water shoes or sandals that you don’t mind getting wet. The weather can change fast, so layers are key!

Q: Is there a chance my tour could be canceled due to weather? How do they handle that?

A: Yes, weather can impact the tours. They monitor conditions closely, and if it’s unsafe, they will reschedule or offer a full refund. Most likely, they’ll give you a heads up in advance. Be sure to check their cancellation policy before booking!

Just booked the Juneau kayaking tour for my partner's birthday!

Hey everyone! I just scored tickets for the Juneau Small Group Sea Kayaking with Mendenhall Glacier Views for my partner's birthday next month. I’m so excited! The idea of paddling with seals and having that glacier view sounds amazing. I heard they keep the groups small, which is a plus. Anyone done this before? Any tips?

Thinking about gifting this kayaking experience to my parents!

I’m considering giving my parents the Juneau kayaking tour. They love nature and have been wanting to try kayaking. Do you think it's suitable for beginners? I want them to have an easy but fun time!
