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 got picked up at the pier on time. However, we waited an hour before we boarded the boat to go out. Then Captain Marina decides we are going to stay out for extra time. We were only at the glaciers for about 10 minutes. We had reservations for dinner, which was paid for, so we were only able to stay for about 15 minutes at the glaciers. Yes they provided another bus but not until 7:15. We were at the bus stop at 6:40 as we were told to. However, we didnā€™t leave until 6:52. Your motto should be if you are late we will leave you. Of course we were about 15-20 minutes late for dinner. Pretty bad you guys canā€™t keep a simple schedule. We waited on 4 people who were late for the 6:40 pick up got there at 6:52. Ik is hard to recommend a company when you canā€™t keep a schedule when you have to if you are on a cruise. I really wish I would have booked thru the cruise instead of doing independently. LESSON LEARNED!!
