Liquid Alaska Tours offers guided canoe and glacier experiences at the Mendenhall Glacier and Mendenhall Lake in Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. Specializing in small-group adventures, Liquid Alaska Tours runs two signature trips: the Mendenhall Lake Canoe Tour and the Mendenhall Glacier Ice Adventure Tour. Guests paddle across glacier-fed waters, glide past icebergs and cliffs, and look for local wildlife on calm, photo-ready passages. On the Mendenhall Glacier Ice Adventure Tour, participants combine canoeing with a guided trek across the glacier’s terminal moraine to access panoramic 360° views. Professional guides lead every outing, prioritize safety and interpretation, and provide gear, snacks, and hot beverages after the hike. The intimate group size enables personalized attention, slower paddling for photographers, and a quieter wildlife experience. Liquid Alaska Tours focuses on accessible yet authentic exploration, balancing active outdoor movement with rest and interpretation moments. The operation follows local guidelines for responsible travel within Tongass National Forest and the Mendenhall Glacier area. Trip descriptions clearly list physical demands, meeting locations, and included amenities so visitors can choose the right experience for skill and comfort levels. Reservations are recommended due to small-group limits; trip durations, meeting details, inclusions and suggested clothing are listed on the booking page.
