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.

Went on the bus to the Glacier. Was advised to visit Nugget Falls - a short hike, much less than the 45 minutes each way we were told. Rely enjoyed the walk, easy and flat and totally worth the effort for the views of the falls and the Glacier. We then boarded the bus for the Whale watching experience. It was a short drive to the dock. No refreshments are available but we had time to nip to the local store. The boat was not full but was quite cramped. If it had been full it would have been uncomfortable. Only 12 people were able to be on the upper deck. We were lucky, the others on the boat took turns and let photos be taken. We saw several Humpback Whales, seals, sea lions and birds. The scenery was absolutely spectacular but on this day if was 78 degrees, we were so lucky!

Staff was knowledgeable and professional. There were plenty of whales to watch in their natural habitat and Glaciers were spectacular. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

We saw several whales and Tad, our guide, was very enthusiastic during our tour. The glacier is not a guided hike, but a drop off and pick up to return you back to the Mt. Roberts tram area. This was a fun day during our stay in port in Juneau.
