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.

We loved our whale watching boat excursion with Capt Kevin and Lukas on 7/21/19! We saw 8 whales and groups of up to 4 whales which they said was very unusual! Saw a Momma whale and her calf and two whales surfaced right next to our boat! Incredible trip. Saw Stellar Sea Lions lounging on a buoy. Capt Kevin knew where to take us and also followed Safe Whale viewing protocol to respect the whales. Lukas was our naturalist who kept us informed with many details about the wildlife. thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Water and snack (small granola bar) provided. Restroom on boat for convenience.

Jaydon, Miranda and Captain Ed did everything they could to make this experience one to remember. The whales were plentiful and so exciting! The eagles were also plentiful and beautiful. After the whale boat experience we went to Mendenhall glacier where you have plenty of time to explore as much as you want. Unlike the Princess Ship tour we took last time that gave us just a few minutes because they were running behind. Amazing day and photos!! Would take this again if we ever get back to Alaska. Go early!
