Private Mendenhall Glacier Hike

Tour Update: This tour does not include trekking on the glacier. We will arrive at panoramic views of the glacier with distant views of the crevasses and icefall at the toe of the glacier.

Do you consider yourself an adventurer? A lover of exciting journeys to stunning and remote destinations? If so, the Private Mendenhall Glacier Hike could be just the unique adventure you’re looking for! In many ways a parallel to the standard Mendenhall Glacier Hike, but reserved for your own private group, this highly involved and somewhat technical outing gives you the chance to view the dazzling world of crystal-blue glacier ice! Especially if you’re on the hunt for a highly customized experience, or if you want to make sure your group can travel at whatever pace best suits it, the Private Mendenhall Glacier Hike is, simply put, one of the absolutely premier excursions in Juneau Alaska.

Your awesome adventure starts with convenient pick-up from either the cruise docks or the place of your choosing. Then it’s off for a stellar drive to the famed Mendenhall Valley, where you’ll head out alongside your expert guide toward the stunning panoramas of the glacier itself! Next, you’ll start up a fairly strenuous, but immensely beautiful trail toward the ice, passing around lovely Mendenhall Lake via an ancient temperate rainforest. Later, incredible scenery awaits you with views of massive crevasses, crystal-clear meltwater streams, and bright blue glacial pools. And because it’s an exclusive private tour, you get to decide what’s next! No matter what your glacial-viewing dream day consists of, the Private Mendenhall Glacier Hike has you covered! This popular and adventurous excursion has very limited availability. Make sure you book early!

Note: Price per person varies as a function of group size.

If you’re down for glacier-front views but would prefer a shorter hiking portion, perhaps you’d be interested in the Private Mendenhall Glacier Canoe Paddle & Hike.
