Mendenhall Glacier Float Trip

[BM64]

We are considering this excursion and was looking for feedback from anyone who has done this in the past? We will be in Juneau in late July. Thank you in advance for any info.

From first hand experience, this tour, is one I never recommend. But, I have also taken several other raft trips that were grossly superior.

 

The glacier view, is distant and brief. The views for most of the tour are behind you. Most of the views are backyards and trees. This is a very tame raft ride. In my opinion, money is far better spent elsewhere.

Sorry to hijack - but what sort of raft trips would you recommend? (This is for the adventure seeking/photography loving brother of mine who is relying on me for all the research!)

My favorites aren't in Alaska.

 

The raft trips at Denali are better. Knik Glacier also has raft trips.

Thank you for your reply. The tame part is fine with me but I think my DH and DD would disagree. We were hoping for some good views.

Nope, not even close with this tour.

 

Far superior is either the cruise contracted canoe trip, or self guided kayak rentals.

Thank you so much. I am going to look into the canoe trip.
