Discover the fun of rafting on an exciting - yet gentle - Mendenhall River excursion that's perfect for rafters of all ages and levels of experience. Your trip begins with a scenic motorcoach ride to the beautiful Mendenhall Lake. Once there, you'll gear up, board your raft, and take off on your unforgettable adventure. Your experienced guide will steer you across the serene waters of the lake, maneuvering past the floating icebergs, to the river beyond. You'll marvel at the spectacular views of the glacier and towering peaks as you float downstream. You'll also want to be on the lookout for the local wildlife.

You can pick from two raft style options, a paddle raft or an oar boat. The oar boat is perfect for those who want the guide to do all the work as you sit on bench-style seating and enjoy the narration and scenery. A paddle raft is perfect for those who want to power their raft through rapids, following the commands of their experienced guide.

At the end of your thrilling journey you'll head to shore to enjoy a snack.
