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 missed our tour start time but they placed us easily on the next tour, although we ended up doing the Glacier first - which we wanted to do last so that we can take our time at the Glacier. This was our fault though and not the company's so we made do. The shuttles ran on time and drivers were very friendly. The weather was overcast with occasional drizzle. We hiked the 2-mile RT trail to the falls and it was worth the walk! The whale watching trip was awesome - saw plenty of whales -but sadly none came near our boat - although the whales went near a couple of other boats in the area. The captain was awesome as he kept trying to position us near where he thought the whales would be. The whales were just finicky I guess - but still, we saw whales and even got some good pictures of the iconic whale tail. Overall a very good trip and the staff were excellent! Highly recommended if whale watching is in your to-do list for Alaska.

10 of us took this tour, all 10 of us loved it. Our guides on the whale boat were fun and very informative. We saw Orca's, Humpback and Dall porpoises. We had 4 kids with us, who were not bored at all. If you do the morning tour and whale watch first, you get to explore the Mendenhall Glacier at the end on your own time. This is why we chose this tour, we did not want only 45 minutes at the Glacier/waterfall. We spent about 2 hrs there and getting a shuttle back after was very easy. 5 stars for sure!!!! Offered on the boat granola bars and water, which the kids loved as well. Great great tour.
