Enjoy views of Alaska's capital city nestled between stunning mountains and winding waterways. From the colorful port, you'll see sites such as the historic Red Dog Saloon, the Juneau Capitol Building and the Governor's Mansion; this unique modern city with an old-world charm has a new surprise around every corner.
At the end of your city tour, you’ll be taken to Auke Bay to board a boat for your whale-watching cruise. Spend two hours out on the water and enjoy beautiful ocean views as your professional guide helps point out whales and other wildlife such as bald eagles, seals, sea lions and black bears. Keep an eye out for humpback whales and playful orcas – once you spot one, the captain will slow the boat to allow for great photo opportunities from the viewing deck. Snacks and refreshments will be provided on board.
As soon as you hit the port, hop back on the coach and head to Mendenhall Glacier for some independent exploration at your leisure. Juneau’s crowning jewel, Mendenhall Glacier is one of 38 glaciers flowing from the massive 1,500-square-mile (3,885-sq-km) ice field.
Capture views of the glacier from a variety of perspectives such as Nugget Creek Falls and Photo Point Trail, which winds along Mendenhall Lake and offers an unobstructed view of the glacier's face. At the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, browse interactive geological exhibits to learn about glacier formation.
When you’re ready to head back to the Juneau port to conclude your tour, hop on the shuttle, which departs approximately every 30 minutes.
Please note: This tour provided 30 minutes to 45 minutes at the glacier. if you would like to stay longer, you may have to skip the city tour portion to accommodate that.
