Premier Whale Watch and Mendenhall Glacier Combo

Overview
Join us for Whale Watching in our cool Alaskan waters and then view one of 38 glaciers from the Juneau Ice Fields - the spectacular Mendenhall Glacier. We guide you on a 2 hour whale watching tour, spotting Humpback whales and other wildlife. Then off to the Mendenhall Glacier to spend some time hiking, watching fish spawn at Steep Creek or enjoy an outstanding view from the Visitor Center. If you are in Juneau all day - you can take advantage of our flexible Glacier Shuttle to get back to town. If you arrive in the afternoon expect to get 90 minutes at the park. But don't worry! That is the perfect amount of time to walk to nugget falls and take in the displays at the visitor center.

What an amazing experience with this all female crew! Captain Cara & Danielle were absolutely incredible! We had the best time, we got to see a family of orca. And a baby humpback with the mama. Couldnā€™t ask for a more dedicated and knowledgeable crew! If I could give 10 stars I would!

Went out with this company this morning, 6/16/19. Weather was somewhat in our favor as far as visibility, but a little light rain now and then. With any of these tours, Mother Nature will dictate what you will see. We had a very fortunate tour! Came upon a pod of Orcas and spent about 20 minutes with them as they leisurely moved around, as close as 50ā€™ or less to the boat. From there we moved to a spot where a female Humpback and her calf were hanging out. Mother stayed pretty quiet, but the calf was all show for all the boats in the area. 30 minutes of all kinds of spy hops, breeches, fin slaps, and tail slaps. Our crew of Josh, Dave, & Maryna did an amazing job and were as excited or more as any of the tourists to experience what we did!

We enjoyed our tour with this company. If you are looking to go whale watching. Lance, Marina, and Lena were our crew and they were great! Itā€™s clear that they all really enjoy their workā€”helping tourists see and better understand humpback whales, which made being on their boat all the more fun, and educational experience. Boat was a good size there were 30-40 of us on the boat. The glacier was great too, we enjoyed the hike to the waterfall and then caught the shuttle back took 2 hours instead of one. Also saw a bearā€” yeah!
