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 were on the Celebrity Millennium and booked this prior to our vacation. The meet up was easy at the Mt Roberts Tramway- walking distance from cruise port dock. We had an 11:30 departure time and things ran on time. First we went whale watching. Kara was our captain and Danielle was our guide. The boat was clean and well maintained. We felt safe and in good hands. First we saw two Orcas. Which is a treat and a rarity! Then we spotted 5 more whales- humpbacks- over the course of the tour. We saw tail flapping and blow hole spouting! Great fun! Then we were taken by bus to the Mendenhall Glacier for exploration on our own. Thereā€™s a visitor center and opportunity for some picturesque photos! All in all, a great day.

There is no guarantee that whales will be spotted on these tours but this one did not disappoint. We saw several whales and even a baby. Time spent on the water was very relaxing. The Mendenhall Glacier trip was an experience not to be missed. The bus driver was very knowledgeable about the area in general and we enjoyed listening to him.

Lucky to see Orcas. Captain Dan Miranda and Melinda were fabulous. Kept boat moving with the Orcas. Dream of a lifetime come true.
