A Must Do Tour - Luke was an amazing tour guide and gave lots of information about Juneau and the glacier! The history was so fun to learn about before we saw everything. He also had the important gear we needed like rain pants, coat, boots, and gloves - SO NEEDED AND APPRECIATED! Truly and amazing experience and would recommend to anyone!

You will love this! - We had an outstanding excursion with Ed & Luke. Communication was great prior to the meet-up. From the moment we connected with Luke, he began educating us on Juneau, glaciers, etc. We had a lovely paddle to view the glacier, then hiked a bit to get a little closer and learn more about the vegetation and rock formations in the area. Ed & Luke were knowledgeable and sprinkled in humor and light-hearted banter. Friends recommended this trip to us, and we’re so glad we did this. Of our three excursions during our cruise, this was by far the best.

- Amazing time with Jonathan & Ed. Got to see the glacier up close. Prepare for the weather as it can change at any second. Would for sure go again.

Unmatched Tour - Saw a Bald Eagle Soaring Over Mendenhall Glacier! - 5 Star Awesome canoe tour to Mendenhall Glacier - Even saw a bald eagle diving in front of the glacier seemingly right on cue! Our guide Luke provided a flawless tour from beginning to end - He was like our personal Alaska encyclopedia! Whole tour felt very safe and succinct for being our first time in a canoe.

The gloriousness that is L.A.T. - What more can I say about this trip! never did i think i could have such memorable experience on a canoe, and boy was i in for a surprise when I arrived for my trip with LAT. Our guide Luke was amazing! Funny, knowledgeable (allegedly) and passionate about what he does. He really made this experience even better outside of the natural beauty we saw in the lake and at the glacier(did you know it used to be bigger?) If my journeys ever take me to Alaska again you can bet ill be taking another trip on LAT and letting my friends know about it as well.

Epic Paddle, Perfect Weather, Great Guide, and One Bold Bald Eagle - This canoe trip on Mendenhall Glacier Lake was unreal. We lucked out with perfect weather and an even better guide—Lucas was part glacier expert, part stand-up comic, and 100% legend. The scenery was jaw-dropping, but the surprise wildlife show stole the spotlight: a bald eagle dramatically swooped in and stirred up hundreds of seagulls like it was starring in a nature documentary directed by Michael Bay. Between the peaceful paddling, icebergs, glacier views, and bird chaos, this was easily one of the most memorable things we did in Alaska. Highly recommend—and if you get Lucas as your guide, even better.

Magical Glacier Canoe Experience at Mendenhal Lake. - Ed was so friendly, professional and an amazing wealth of knowledge. We were blessed with a beautiful sunshiny day and his humor, wit and knowledge of all-things Juneau and Alaska made for a magical experience. Much thanks to Ed (shout out to his wonderful mother, Peggy 😉) and to Alaskan Liquid Tours.
