No experience is necessary for this brilliant, memorable, non-strenuous, one-hour interpretive glacier walk.
Take off from Juneau by helicopter and soar over the massive Juneau Ice Field. Upon landing at the trekking site on Mendenhall Glacier, you will be greeted by your knowledgeable guide. Your guide will provide detailed explanations of the glacier environment and the surrounding area and will teach you how to use the equipment provided. There is plenty of time for photos.
Please note: Walking is moderate. Terrain includes flat to rolling surfaces with scattered lumps of snow and ice. Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Waterproof and windproof outerwear, boots, and gloves are provided. Wear sunglasses. This tour can be canceled without penalty on the day your voyage commences; cancellations thereafter are non-refundable. Minimum age is 8 years. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair. Waiver must be signed and medical conditions disclosed. Guests weighing 250 lbs or more (fully clothed) pay an additional surcharge over the published fare directly to the tour operator just prior to the flight. Every guest is weighed at check-in. The tour operator endeavors to be discreet, but individual circumstances may not allow for complete privacy. The pilot alone decides if weather conditions are suitable for flightseeing. If the flight is canceled due to weather conditions, you will receive a full refund. The pilot decides where each guest sits based on weight and balance requirements; parties may be separated. Mobility devices of any kind cannot be brought onto the aircraft. Bags cannot be taken on the flight; a secure location is provided for storing personal items. iPads, iPad minis, tablets, drones, and selfie sticks or other extendable items are not permitted. For optimal photography and views, wear darker-colored clothing to reduce window reflections. Oxygen for personal use is allowed but must be in the form of an FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrator that can be secured to the user's body.
