Premier Whale Watch and Mendenhall Glacier Combo in Juneau booking from $160.00

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.

We were a bit apprehensive because this was our first cruise and we did not book through the cruise line. I did not bring any paper work so was a little nervous. When we got off the ship there were lots of different tour leaders holding signs. I was not sure which one was ours. I asked and was directed to the right place where our names were located on their paperwork. Bus ride to the harbor we saw eagles. The driver was very chatty. Honestly could not have asked for a better crew on the boat. The boat was in excellent shape. Capt Ben, Christi, and Bre did a wonderful job! The cruising was great. We next traveled by bus to Mendenhall Glacier. The walk down to the falls was great and well paved. My first sighting of an iceberg floating in the water. I would give this tour a big fat 10!! It was great.

We recently went on the Whale Watch and Mendenhall Glacier Combo Tour thru Juneau Tours and Whale Watch instead of booking this excursion thru our cruise line, and we were extremely impressed. We saw Orcas and Humpback whales for the first time after 3 unsuccessful attempts in California. Kara and Sami were very knowledgeable about the area and did everything possible for all to witness whales in their natural habitat. They are awesome tour guides and we highly recommend this tour. Unfortunately, due to the short time we had in Juneau, we had to cut our time shorter than we would have liked at Mendenhall Glacier.

Stephens Passage is a beautiful area in its own right and when you see a pod of young Orcas feeding the surface, it doesn't get much better (it did though, humpbacks and sea lions as well). This was a large boat with two levels, topside is great if you can be there. The Needle Falls is a mile hike to the beach but worth the effort, Mendenhall Glacier is an amazing sight, with ice flows on the lake, a great river of ice receding into the background. We saw a beaver dam (alas no beavers) and three bear cubs in a distant tree (bring binoculars). We saw a porcupine feeding in the tree tops, Stellar Jays in the brush and many other birds as well as Bald Eagles. It is a relatively easy walk (my wife is disabled, but she did the paved path fairly easily). NOT TO BE MISSED. Our return driver Archie was a homespun comedian. He obviously loves his work. He is full of great information, but he delivers it in a fun way. You get the indigenous Alaskan viewpoint. We thoroughly enjoyed this adventure.
