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. You get 1.5 hours 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.

Beautiful day to spend in nature! Especially enjoyed seeing the whales that included a mother & calf. The colors of Mendenhall Glacier was a sight to behold. Just beautiful! The Visitors Center was special, enjoyed the film. Afterwards we walked a trail where we saw a bear. On the way back to the bus a mother & two cubs crossed the road behind us. Overall, a great visit for us. Our tour bus driver’s name was Anatole. He was a fount of information on the area. He really brought everything all together.

We had an amaying time on this tour! The first part was the whale watching, where our captain was Marina and our deckhand(?)/guide was Charlie. The ride in the boat was fast and quite comfortable. We saw whales, sea lions and were even so lucky to have spotted orcas as well. It was a very fun time on the water thanks to our captain and guide, who were really fun, entertaining and told us everything there is to know about these animals. Then we went to the glacier with a shuttle on which the driver also told us many interesting things before dropping us off. It was great, that we were able to spend as much time there as we wanted and took a shuttle back into town afterwards. Would recommend!
