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.

This was by far a major highlight of our trip! We were on the Thrill Seeker boat on August 13, 2019, with our captain Brandon and his first mate (Sorry!! name forgotten - which makes me feel awful because he was SO NICE!! Suddenly, they spotted two Orcas, which they said was pretty rare. It was AMAZING to see!! We also saw several humpbacks including a mom and baby. Not sure who was more excited about those Orcas, us or the guys lol They were so friendly, fun, and knowledgable about EVERYTHING Juneau has to offer! They even offered to help out with restaurant suggestions or other tour ideas. I really cannot say enough about the two of them! Their boat was crazy fast (and totally safe!!), and we laughed so hard as we bounced up and down with the boat in the waves on the way to and from the whale sighting area. They were super cautious about keeping the whales AND us safe. My thirteen year old did not want to go whale watching at all, but turned to me at one point and said, "This is the BEST excursion ever!!" I got a little choked up seeing the awe and wonder in his eyes. I credit Juneau Tours and especially our guys for creating a family memory that will last a lifetime!! xo

Brenden and Maddie were great. They knew where to go to see the whales. it was rainy, wet, and cold. it was also raining at the glacier. It is sad that the glaciers are going away. Both events were awesome.

The whale watch was super, saw many whales. Did not get pictures of whale coming totally out of water, however did get some fantastic pictures.The tour is well worth the price for the adventure.You will also see sea lions, Keep your eyes peeled and may see bald eagles as we did. Nice once in a lifetime excursion.
