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.

A nice trip! Our family went on a day when the weather was wonderful but this is apparently a rarity. Even tho the weather on land was “warm” (around 65) it was pretty chilly on the water. Our guide was wearing shorts and helpful in pointing out whales. Although we saw several they were pretty far away. Make sure you take your zoom lens! Because we were on Norwegian cruise line and it left the city at 1pm, there was not time to go see the glacier up close. Take this into consideration.

Great boat ride (like most of the drivers/skippers in Alaska a female - wild girl from Kodiak Island), guided by Charlie, a girl marine biologist from Indiana, who's working in the Bahamas in winter ... We saw orcas, humpback whales and sea lions, then were driven to the Mendenhall Glacier, ... Worth every dime, highly recommended!

My must-see bucket list for Juneau shore excursion was whale watching and Medenhall Glacier and this small-group tour fit the bill. We went Whale Watching first aboard a small boat that held 15 maximum which allowed everyone cat-bird views from anywhere around the boat without being crowded. Our all-female crew, captain and naturalist guide did a great job with whale sightings and information about the area. Our naturalist knew the names of the whales we saw by their distinct tail markings. Binoculars here is a bonus. Restrooms were available with water and a snack of granola bars provided. On returned, we boarded the bus that transported us to Mendenhall Glacier. This part of the tour was self-paced, self-guided and was let off at the tour drop-off entrance to the Glacier park and shown where to catch the shuttle for the return trip to the cruise port. Pay attention to this information as it appears different tour groups have different pick-up locations around the small parking area. There are several different walks you can take. Our driver pointed out the Creek Walk is entirely boardwalk and would be the most likely area to spot to catch sightings of brown bear fishing but didn't have enough time to do. The walk to the photo point was the shortest of the two walks I did do was about 15 min on easy, graved path and provides a good view of the glacier. The second walk to Nugget Falls was longer, about 2 mi. round trip was on an easy but gravely path that took you around the lake and up close to the falls and glacier ending at a sandy beach. This part of the path you want to have bug repellent on for the mosquitoes. The Visitor Center will also give you a good view of the glacier and is accessible by elevator and stairs.
