This hike is a little strenuous in parts. The first part of the trail is maintained, but then we continued off the maintained path and it got a little rugged. There are some steep climbs that required using your hands to climb. Our group on the hike included 6 people. We got our equipment and started our hike about 1030am.... more

My wife and I just took the Mendenhall glacier hike and climb yesterday (6/2/09), and while a long day, it was a Very worthwhile experience. So far, we've been in Juneau for 3 weeks and will be here for another 2 months before heading home and this has been the absolute best experience we've had thus-far. I suspect it'll be... more

I first saw this company was ranked highly under Juneau attractions on Trip Advisor. Then I saw them favorably mentioned on forums for Juneau, AK and on the cruise critic boards. Based on this, I contacted the company and spoke with Becky on several occasions. Overall, I spent about 1-2 hours on the phone with her asking a million questions... more

My husband and I booked the private glacier hike and climb through Above and Beyond. Before we left for our trip the staff were easy to talk to and answered any questions we might have. We both like adventure but were worried we may slow down a large group so we payed just a few $$ more to take a... more

My Husband and I took the Mendenhall Glaicer Trek and Climb in May of 2009 and it was by far the highlight of our whole trip to Alaska! Our guide Ed was awesome. Ed was extremely knowledgeable of the forest and land. He went the perfect pace and I felt completely safe and comfortable with him. I have memories and... more

We recently returned from a summer 2008 Alaskan cruise that left out of Seattle and hit up the standard trio of Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway. We are pretty avid cruisers and often research and book many months before the actual cruise. We tend to look for 3rd party companies to take tours with as we visit the various ports, since... more

Our trek and private Mendenhall glacier climbing experience was truly spectacular, and I feel confident in speaking for our whole group in saying that we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide, Dawn, was great, and allowed us to fully experience the glacier and climb some challenging ice walls. We were also able to set our own pace during the journey... more

My husband and I did the Mendenhall glacier hike and trek with ice climbing. It was the highlight of our August 2008 Alaska cruise. The owner, Becky, has a great personality and customer service etiquette. She would respond to emails in a timely manner, and with all my questions answered in detail. The price is great for the excursion you... more

My husband & I did a private Mendenhall Glacier Trek & Climb tour on our recent Alaskan cruise through Above & Beyond Alaska. We were VERY happy with our choice of excursion! The tour included a 2 mile hike through a rainforest to Mendenhall Glacier, almost 3 hours worth of glacier trekking and ice climbing, followed by the 2 mile... more
