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.

Had an excellent time looking for whales. Got to see quite few surface, spout and then dive again. We had 5 whales around the boat. The last whale we saw surfaced and was headed directly toward the boat before he dove under. Captain Jordan did a fantastic job. Christy and the other naturalist did a great job explaining about what the whales were doing and how to identify them by their tails.

Mendenhall Glacier wasn't nearly as impressive as Hubbard, plus it was raining. Did however get to see a cinnamon colored black bear with her 2 cubs.

Mendenhall was very impressive, and the visitors center was educational.

But most amazing was the whale watching. The very enthusiastic tour guides were able to recognize the individual whales by the markings on their tales. They had a book of photographs of each of the regulars, with their histories and stories. It was so peaceful watching the whales, enjoying the mountains and the water - definite must-do!

Our tour began with our shuttle driver Archie. Native to the area, Archie explained the area around the Mendenhall Glacier, and sights along the trip from downtown Juneau. He was both fun, and very helpful. Our Whale watch crew was Captain Emily, Brian, and Lukas. . All went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant and safe trip to watch whales. . . . Not only did we see lots of whales on our trip, but we experienced "Bubble Feeding". A fairly rare event, but awesome to see. Captain Emily and crew kept the boat a safe distance from the whales, but close enough for great viewing and pictures. I would highly recommend this trip
