The Brown Bears at Pack Creek range in size from small cubs of the year to large males coming in over 1000lbs. May to Mid-June is mating season and summer foraging. We see bears interact in a variety of ways and courtship behavior is common, we also often see bears digging for clams, or eating sedge grass. This is also a great time to watch sows playing with cubs, and the best time for encounters with large males. Mid-July to the end of September are the various Salmon Runs, this is when the bears go to work. The bears focus is on fishing. The primary viewing location is about ten meters from the creek. This is when we often see the most bears in view at a given moment, and the only time to get a picture of a bear with a fish in its mouth. Viewing distances at Pack Creek can be as close as 30ft away or as far as a 1,000yds out, depending on the individual bear and which food source they are using.

What are people saying about Juneau

ELLEN_M, Jul 2026

Best Whale Watching Team

With a naturalist like Savannah and a driver like Austin you simply can't do any better! Austin knew exactly where to take us to find the whales... and we saw many. Savannah's knowledge of whales was thorough and interesting. With the knowledge she gave us, everyone in board was able to find the whales! Both Austin and Savannah were welcoming, friendly, and great to be around for the 2 hours!

Juneau City Tour

Darren_E, Jul 2026

This is big bang for your buck, get picture opportunities!

In this 90+ minute tour you get a good overview of the city and three amazing photo and area experiences. The first leg takes you past the airport and our group got to see literally hundreds of eagles feeding on salmon in the river and sitting in the wetlands. The first stop is a viewpoint where you can see the Mendenhall glacier and get pictures. There were wildflowers and the river is within walking distance for more photo opportunities. Next you trace your steps to the bridge to Douglas so no matter what side of the bus you are on you get to see the Eagles and waterways etc. The Douglass overlook platform gives you a view of the city and the Cruise ship docks. There are several platform areas. The last stop is the lifesized bronze humpback whale fountain. Another incredible stop. We were given a snack of gift each stop. On the way back into town we were given wonderful tips about what to do with our remaining time. Well worth the money, you can’t do this on foot and a car is $260+ for a rental. Jay the guide went above and beyond for us!

Juneau Small Group Sea Kayaking with Mendenhall Glacier Views

Raven_B, Jul 2026

Best Kayaking Tour in Juneau

This experience was phenomenal! The views were breathtaking and pickup/drop off easy. Above all, the customer service was amazing though! Jake was our tour guide and was super kind and helpful and his positive energy and tips about the area added to our experience. Overall, this was our favorite experience in Juneau and we had gone whale watching the day previously. Would highly recommend this experience!

Musher's Camp® & Sled Dog Discovery in Juneau Alaska

Marvin_T, Jul 2026

Zipping through the woods on a Dog Sled Cart!

Now I want to ride a dogsled in the winter on show and ice. I can only imagine (with a little help from these good folks) how exciting that must be. The camp was very scenic, the dogs fun, and the staff well informed and personable. Riding in the sled was something new for me and totally fun. We got back home and suggested recreating this experience with them and they completely turn us down. I've love to see the dogs in their real setting, running across the snow, and being the athletes they truly are. Recommended.

Historic Gold Panning Adventure & Salmon Bake

Patricia_S, Jul 2026

This was a very fun tour!...

This was a very fun tour! The guide was great and very knowledgeable. He made it fun and we all got some gold we got to keep in a little bottle, a great souvenir! We got a little tour of the city and heard some funny stories then on to the salmon bake. It was set up really nice with lights and music and a buffet of food and yes delicious salmon. Even had beer and wine for purchase. After we ate we walked down the path to the river and waterfall. It was breathtaking and lit up just as nicely and you could even panhandle for more gold if you wished. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Mendenhall Glacier Ice Adventure Tour

Thomas_S, Jul 2026

10/10 experience for anyone looking to earn their views of Mendenhall glacier

This was the best activity we did in Alaska - it was extremely rewarding and we'd do it again without a second thought if we were visiting Juneau again. We got lucky with great weather for the paddle and the hike to the glacier face, giving us great conditions and visibility for the entire experience. The paddle across the lake was mildly challenging but nothing excessive for someone with a good level of upper body fitness, just enough to make you feel like you've earned the close up views of the glacier face. Our guides, Cortland and Joe, were brilliant - they really made the experience shine with their light-hearted approach, and from the way they ran the trip it was clear they are both extremely professional and love sharing the wilderness experience with guests. 10/10: we'd come back for their dad jokes and canoe pep talks any time.

Best of Juneau: Mendenhall Glacier, Whale Watching and Salmon Bake

Cindy_C, Jul 2026

Great experience!

A little bit of everything! We enjoyed the time on our own to explore and hike the glacier area, including an amazing waterfall. And the whale watching was amazing. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable and the boat was very comfortable. Not a bad view from anywhere on the boat. And yes, we saw whales! And eagles! And Stellar Sea Lions. The salmon bake, along the Salmon Creek, was amazing food. There was also salmon in the salmon creek! And a waterfall. The musician playing while you ate and then explore was a nice touch and appreciated. There was even a marshmallow roasting station. The transportation drivers were friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed at every stop. We were fat and happy and tired out by the end of the excursion.

Mendenhall Glacier Trolley Tour

Meredith_O, Jul 2026

Great timing to do two trials outside of a cruise excursion

It was a good amount of time to do both the Nugget trail and the photo trail. I did this with a multigenerational group. The nugget trail is a little more than an hour, out and back. The photo trail best for the older crowd and is only 15 mins. Visitor center closes at 6. So unfortunately I didn’t have enough time

Craft Brews & Epic Views: Juneau's Brewery & Sightseeing Tour

Dave_D, Jul 2026

Nice way to spend an afternoon in Juneau

What a nice way to spend a late afternoon in Juneau. Went to several craft breweries and had a flight of beers. Devils Club, Forbidden Peak and Alaskan Breweries. All the beers were good and we had time to enjoy another if we found one we liked. Cathy was our guide and she was patient and took us to some spots for quality pictures of Mendenhall Glacier. The tour definitely avoids the crowds.

Ultimate Whale Watch and Tracy's Crab Shack Meal

Dale_O, May 2026

Excellent trip. Crew was...

Excellent trip. Crew was extremely knowledgeable. Saw single whales and mother and calf. Tracy’s crab was good. Viators voucher is your ticket for red crab combo. Everything was very good. If you’re on a cruise, take this tour. Cheaper and much better then you can get on the cruise ship.

Mendenhall Glacier White-Water Rafting & Scenic Float Adventure

Ian_H, Sep 2025

First time rafting - great

Great time - Jamie was a great rafter and she looked after us really well. First time I have done it and really enjoyed it. The river was running fast after the recent and current rain. It was a shame the weather at the start meant the view of the glacier was not as good as it should have been. Would recommend and would say book it online and not through the cruise line as far better value and the money goes to the local firm. I read poor reviews but they were spot on turned up exactly where they said and people who booked on the ship and paid a lot more were on the same trip.
