Our self guided kayak trip though Above and Beyond Alaska was the highlight of our Alaska vacation. We were picked up at the cruise terminal by a friendly local guide with great information about the area. The equipment issued to us was top notch and we were given easy to understand directions on exploring Mendenhall Lake. Once on the lake... more

The glacier hike/trek is absolutely incredible. I had an amazing time with a great guide. I thought the long hike to the glacier would be boring (but would put up with it to get onto the glacier) but the hike was an adventure in itself. It was strenuous, with some bouldering involved, and well worth the adrenaline! The hike is... more

We wanted to go to/on the Mendenhall Glacier on the day our cruise ship docked in Juneau, but we didn't want to take a helicopter. We booked a private hike and ice-climbing tour with Above and Beyond Alaska in advance because we don't mind hiking, but we didn't want to be limited by (or limit) the pace of others who... more

My husband & I booked Above & Beyond's "coastal wildlife kayak" tour for the afternoon our cruise ship was in Juneau, and it was one of the highlights of our week! It was great to hop in the van and be driven AWAY from the craziness of the dock area, toward some of the quiet beauty we went to Alaska... more

We called Becky and were amazed at what a great price they offered for the excact same excursion. They answered all of our questions and... more

Above and Beyond was extremely helpful in planning and tailoring an adventure for our family. Becky, the owner, communicated often and promptly answered all our endless questions. Once in Juneau, Corey, our guide, took over and sized up our... more

We had a 'designed' tour and went kayaking on Mendenhall lake, then stopped by the glacier and hiked up around to do glacier hiking. The trip and the guide were so great! Ed was our guide and knew alot about the area and the glacier..very interesting. We started in the morning and the lake was placid and all the icebergs,... more

We were scheduled to do the Tongass paddle but due to 25 knot winds and five foot swells, the owner, Becky James called to tell us they needed to cancel. She suggested we might want to try the Mendenhall Lake paddle since this lake is protected from the wind and sea. WOW!! What an awesome idea that turned out to... more

We decided to book with Above & Beyond for the Glacier Trek and Climb due to the positive reviews here on TA. We are so glad that we did! Our group of 8 plus Ed and Becky were one of the highlights of our trip to Alaska. BOOKING: We called a couple of days before departing to book. We left... more
