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. You get 1.5 hours 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 the highlight of our trip. We were onboard with Nate and Dusty and they were amazing at finding the perfect spot to view these amazing creatures. We had great weather and we’re able to watch a mother a calf and then watch the calf for at least an hour play in the water with 3 sea lions. This excursion exceeded our expectations and would recommend to anyone wanting to whale watch in Alaska!

Jimmy, Brock and Captain T were so fun. We got to see a whale breach and slap its tail a bunch of times on the water. They also took us to see a bunch of sea lions on a cliff side. We had the most incredible sunny weather. The hike to nugget falls was awesome as well. A must see tour.

We had an awesome experience watching Sasha and her baby. The baby whale was full of energy. Addi was very knowledgeable about the whales. We enjoyed talking to her. From Louisiana
