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 had a great experience with Captain Josh and naturalists Jayden and Jesse. They took the time to make sure we got the best views of the humpbacks. We got amazing photos! They provide a little snack on the 2+ hour whale watching boat ride and are happy to give more if you ask. We are headed now to the Mendenhall glacier.

My wife and I had a magnificent time on this tour. Especially the whale watch! Captain Dan did a great job topside in finding a group of 6 to 7 humpbacks whales and positioning the boat so the whales were coming towards us and providing magnificent photo opportunities. We made great use of the photo ops provided and will go home with wonderful photos of these magnificent creatures. On deck as guides were Jayden and Sam who were happy to provide us with information about the whales and answering numerous questions. If you do nothing else while in port in Juneau do this tour! We highly recommend it! Ron & Rose

Our crew was amazing. Captain dan got us very close to view the whales. Charlie was the most excited about her job of anyone Iā€™ve ever met. She was knowledgeable and eager to share. She put the hydrophone in the water so we were able to hear the whales during the bubble net feeding experience. Very cool to see 8 whales feed at the same time. We skipped the glacier tour but the whale watching alone was worth the combo price.
