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, Jayden and Charlie were an awesome, fun, friendly crew. We saw lots of whales and had a great time. You must do this tour while in Juneau!! Jayden's enthusiasm was infectious!!

Capt. Brenden, Lucas and Meranda - June 15th 2019. My husband, daughter, son-in-law and myself took this tour while on a cruise. We booked locally to save money on the excursion. We definitely got 110% of what we paid for. The whale watching was amazing with us getting to see a whale breach out of the water with it's mouth open. The Captain and crew were just as excited as we were which tells us how much they love what they are doing. The Captain and crew were very knowledgeable and had a good time having fun with everyone. I have already recommended this company & tour to friends going in July 2019. Thank you for a great experience. The bus drivers that took us to & from Mendenhall Glacier were full of information and humor also. Made the trip great!!! Steve & Jamie Wilkinson

This was another amazing excursion on our Alaska cruise. Captain Brenden, Lucas and Meranda were informative and entertaining, making this tour so much fun. We had amazing luck and saw whales in two locations, as well as lucked into seeing one baleen whale thrust itself out of the water with mouth open feeding. It was amazing. When the captain grabs his phone to catch a photo, you know you're seeing something special. Also saw sea lions sunning themselves on the ocean buoy. What a great tour!
