Phenomenal Excursion! - There are people who do something because it's a job. Then there are those like Elymus and Tor our guides for this tour who are in it wholeheartedly driven by true passion. From pick up until drop off, Elymus and Tor made it an unforgettable excursion to see the Mendenhall glacier close up whilst showering us with interesting geological, historical, ecological etc. facts and a boatload of punny jokes. Important to note that they are clearly professionals in this field and made us feel safe during and wiser after this trip. A must sign up for anyone visiting Juneau!

Glacier and Canoe trip - We had a blast! The views were amazing and we got so close to the glacier. It was raining the whole time, but that wasn’t an issue whatsoever with the gear they provide. Elymus and Brady were such good tour guides and funny! Would highly recommend this tour!

Best tour in Juneau - request Brady and Elymus! - This was an amazing tour. Our guides, Elymus and Brady were the absolute best. The coolest part was how genuinely passionate they were when teaching us about the glaciers and surrounding wildlife. It got everyone in the group excited. I can honestly say I’ve never had so much fun or learned so much in a tour. It was the exact right level of educational AND funny that everyone paid attention, learned something, and had a blast. I would 100% book this tour over the ones offered on the cruise- they canoed us so close to the glacier, and the size of the group (14 for us) made it feel really Ipersonal. Huge thanks to Elymus and Brady!!
