A perfect day for paddle boarding - Paddle boarding in Juneau from Douglas Island was a truly unique and breathtaking way to experience the beauty of Alaska. I could not have been more pleased with this adventure. I felt like it was the perfect amount of time, and it offered a great view of Mendenhall Glacier. We got to see some sea lions and eagles, which is always fun! And I appreciated the patience and insight that the guides gave as we paddled out and around. Highly recommend!!!

Can’t miss tour! - Had an absolutely AMAZING time, perfect way to enjoy the beauty of Juneau without fighting the crowds, great views of the area and the glaciers. Dry suits work amazing, we got to jump in a few times without ever getting wet! Our tour guides were the absolute best about curating the tour to what we wanted. Would HIGHLY recommend this tour even if you only have one day in Juneau, would give 10 stars if that was an option.

Fun, Active, Beautiful Views - How fun to find a paddle boarding opportunity in October in Alaska! The dry suits were ideal and I loved that this was an active experience in a beautiful setting. Seeing Mendenhall Glacier from this perspective really shows its size and the guides are so friendly - they shared great local insights! Would definitely do this again. 👍👍

SO FUN!! - I lived in Alaska over the summer and this was a highlight of the entire summer!! The views were incredible and it was so cool to see the glacier. I was worried about being cold but the dry suit kept me warm and dry the entire time. I even got into the water and swam around a little bit and my clothes were still completely dry when I took off the dry suit! If you’re coming to Juneau and looking for something fun and unique to do I would definitely recommend booking this tour!

A must while in Juneau! - The wet suit was the best! I fell in and felt just fine even in fall temperatures! Id recommend no matter the weather. It was a mix of sun and rain but the rainbows were beautiful and paddling keeps you warm! My friends & I had good laughs. Tour guides were very patient and accommodating. They even provided a break with great snacks.

Alaskan Beauty - Tyler & Alex were amazing tour guides and showed us some neat spots. We were able to get an amazing view of the glacier. We got somewhat near a seal. Best part stayed dry and warm the whole trip and easy to learn to paddle board.
