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.

Captain Dirk and Emily W. were wonderful with the whale watch portion of the trip. Emily is extremely friendly and personable and shared a wealth of knowledge about the humpback whale through a talk - and with a model of the humpback whale - on the way out to the site. Once we got to the area, Captain Dirk had our boat is prime positions for viewing - and we were amazed and excited with the whales that we saw and photographed. We ended up being very close to the action and everyone got their share of amazing photos that we are all sharing with one one another by either email of air drop on our iphones.
The visit to the Mendenhall Glacier also went extremely well. The glacier itself and Nugget Falls were also amazing. We took a hike out to the main viewing areas and captured many superb photos. We were also fortunate to be there when the salmon started to migrate up the creek for their spawning. The park has some boardwalks and paved trails that go back the streams where the spawning is taking place.
My wife and I were mesmerized by the activity taking place there. In addition, a black bear family - mother and cubs - wondered into the area for some prime feasting on the salmon while we were there.
What an amazing and memorizing day we had!
We highly recommend this combo tour if you have only 1 day in Juneau.

We had an excellent visit to the Mendenhall Glacier followed by the best whale watching experience we could have asked for. The bus drivers were interesting and comical and the tour operators of the whale watching boat were excellent. We will recommend this trip to others who are taking the same cruise.
