- You'll start atMount Roberts Tramway490 S Franklin St, Juneau, AK 99801, USAJUNEAU MEETING PLACE: On the sidewalk, under the cables of the Mt. Roberts Tram.

Look for our distinctive Caribou logo.See address & details
- 1Mendenhall LakeStop: 3 hoursBe among the select few allowed to travel by canoe for an unprecedented experience near the face of the majestic Mendenhall Glacier under a limited U.S. Forest Service permit. Paddle across Mendenhall Lake, navigating past icebergs, surrounded by one of the most scenic and naturally beautiful locations you’ll find anywhere. Birds including arctic terns nest on the shoreline, and eagles, goats, salmon and bears may also be seen. You will venture within a safe distance of the massive, awe-inspiring face of the living Mendenhall Glacier, and skirt the base of the beautiful and powerful Nugget Falls, where you’ll head ashore to refuel for the return paddle with a snack of Alaskan-style fare. You’ll make your trip in a traditional Alaska Native-style canoe, an exceptionally stable 15 to 20 passenger watercraft. Because of the close approach to the glacier face, the Forest Service tightly controls the number of participants. Only a lucky few get to experience this one-of-a-kind adventure.Read more

We paddled across the lake with novice paddlers. Weather changed from cloudy to clear to drizzly. We saw It all. Wonderful opportunity to get up close to the glacier and the waterfall. The glacier is truly blue.

If you want a water experience that gets you close to the Mendenhall glacier, this excursion will not disappoint. We saw a Bald Eagle in a tree close to the shoreline as well. The glacier, lake and waterfall are stunning and beautiful.
