Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this kayak tour?

A: The tour is generally recommended for kids aged 8 and up. They should be able to handle the kayaking part while enjoying the scenery. Just make sure they’re comfortable in the water and wearing a life jacket, which is provided. It’s a great experience for families!

Q: What should we wear for kayaking in Juneau?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get chilly, even in summer. The tour provides rain gear and boots, but I’d recommend wearing a thermal layer or a quick-dry shirt underneath. And don’t forget your sunscreen; you’ll be out there for a while! Waterproof gloves can also be helpful.

Q: Can this be rescheduled if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, they have a Worry-free Shore Excursion Guarantee, which means if the weather doesn’t cooperate, you can reschedule without extra fees. Just keep an eye on the forecast. They’ll work with you to find a good time!

Thinking about the Mendenhall Glacier Kayaking Experience!

Hey everyone! I’m considering gifting the Mendenhall Glacier View Sea Kayaking tour to my brother and his girlfriend when they visit Juneau next month. I’ve heard the views are incredible and there’s a chance to see wildlife like eagles and whales! Has anyone done this? How was your experience?

Excited for Mendenhall Glacier Kayaking!

Just booked the Mendenhall Glacier kayaking tour for my family! The idea of getting close to the glacier and possibly seeing humpback whales is so exciting. Can’t wait to hear the guides’ stories too! Is there anything specific we should know before going?
