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.

Brenden, Tori and Dave were wonderful guides on the Whale Watching Tour, they were a blast to be around and very informative. We've done several Whale Watching tours in the past and this was by far the best. The boat made viewing easy and the whales were nice enough to put on quite the show. The Mendenhall Glacier Tour was also great, the glacier and waterfall beside it are beautiful and they have added boardwalks that made seeing the Salmon running spectacular. We were told they often see bears along here as well but they were feeling shy the day we were there. It was a great day, viewing some of God's beautiful artistry.

This tour delivered on whale watching. We did see several whales. Wish one would have completely breached the water; but this did not happen, during our tour. Captain Rusty and tour guide, Samantha, were excellent at their respective jobs. We had arrived early enough to request the 1:30 pm (1 hour earlier) tour and were accommodated. Mendenhall Glacier was impressive and included a nearby waterfall. The only issue was in regard to the transport from the whale watch to the glacier. The bus driver was tardy and I actually had to call Juneau Tours' offices. We learned that the time on the driver's phone was off by one hour. He stated that he thought this was the result of a recent software update. Anyway, Juneau Tours granted us extra time at the glacier to compensate for this mishap. It all worked out in the end.

the day was well planned, whale watching first and then glacier. but we had to take the bus ($5pp) to the area where the buses parked. Captain Kevin was an excellent boat driver on the ocean.We saw so many whales, we lucked out with great weather. the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. We then took the bus to Mendenhall glacier which was beautiful, including the flora across from it and the waterfall. I recommend this trip. Carry some water with you for the boat trip.
