What are people saying about Juneau

Gary_L, Jul 2026

Experience & crew both amazing

This was a great experience, made better by the effect crew we had: Captain Michelle, Nate, and über excitable whale need Griffin. We saw orcas, pretty, and a lot of humpbacks. Griffin was VERY excited. Flukes, breaches, and feeding. Highly recommended experience!

Alaska Whale Watching Cruise: 3 Hours on the Water

James_K, Jul 2026

#1 highlight of the cruise

Truly, highlight of the cruise. The double decker boat was so nice. It had two full-size bathrooms. The captain and crew were so good. We saw at least seven whales, pod of Dall's porpoise, and lot of sea lions. Three hours is plenty of time to enjoy it all.

Juneau Shore Excursion: Helicopter Tour and Guided Icefield Walk

nancy_f, Jul 2026

Perfect Experience!

The helicopter was a perfect fit for the 3 of us and another couple. Pre-ride was efficient and each person was weighed. Riding to the glacier was not only beautiful but amazing. Pilot, Jules, did a very nice description of different things we saw. She loved her job and it showed. Walking on the glacier was like a surreal experience for me. And we even drank some of the perfectly clear water. Loved every second of this. Don’t go to kennels, you miss the experience ofvthevicecwalk.

3.5 Hour Crowd-Skipping Whale Tour in Juneau, Alaska

Marielle_W, Jul 2026

All-in-one top experience

JWT is a super small business with a fantastic boat (with a wrap around dek) for only a small group of people (20). An experienced captain (JT) and a very knowledgeable biologist hit the jackpot for us. After entertaining us with stories and telling us we never would see orca’s they found a pod of 8-10. Followed by 2 real up close surfacing whales (Sasha and kelp). Who the could recognize from they’re flukes. To top it all off they found us a mother orca with a Juvenal calf and a baby calf. Besides all the great footage we got for our self, JWT also shared the top 10 pictures of the day made with a great camera. All in all a top experience with I highly recommend

Mendenhall Glacier and Whale Watching Tour

Lissa_H, Jul 2026

Wonderful Experience, trusted company.

What a wonderful experience! This company has an outstanding reputation, and after our tour, it’s easy to see why. Our naturalist, Libby, was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to engage with each group, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Our captain was fantastic as well—I only wish I could remember his name! Transportation to and from the glacier was safe, reliable, and well organized. Everything ran smoothly, and we made it back to our cruise ship with plenty of time to spare. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable glacier experience!

Mendenhall Glacier Express

H_Y, Jul 2026

Awesome Experience!

Viewing the glacier and waterfall was an awesome experience! A little bit of a walking exercise to get for visitors center around to the waterfall area, but well worth it! The view of Mendenhall Glacier was spectacular from the visitor center area, but sad to see how much it has retreated over the years (go see it while you can!). The tour bus driver delivered us and picked us up safely and on time. We wish there could have been enough time for the driver to pull over and let us take pictures of huge groups of bald eagles feeding on salmon in this one area near the terminal but he said he could not stop.

Mendenhall Glacier Trolley Tour

Frank, the tour operator,...

Frank, the tour operator, did a poor job of explaining the history of Juneau and the sites. He talked very fast and off the cuff. The tour regarding the actual view of the Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls were both phenomenal. It was a disservice for the operator to not benefit from beauty of it all on behalf of the tourists.

Mendenhall Glacier Waterfall and Whale Watching Tour

Michaela_M, Jul 2026

Worth it!

I chose this one because it seemed like a good bang for the buck & they're locally owned. The shuttle drivers and the naturalist were awesome & funny. We lucked out & saw many whale & bald eagle. A nice little snack bag w coffee or cocoa was provided on the boat. The waterfall hike was self guided which was a plus for us. I would 100% recommend this excursion.

Mendenhall Glacier Park and Ultimate Whale Watch Combo

Ramasu_S, Jul 2026

Awesome views of whales and glacier

Whale watching was fabulous. We saw two associations of 4 or 5 whales apiece. And some sea lions. The tour operator was excellent. Glacier and nugget falls views were spectacular. It would have been better if we had an extra 30 minutes. It was a bit rushed. The views were magnificent. Recommend it highly

Ultimate Juneau Whale Watch

Nicholas_C, Jul 2026

Fantastic experience

Well organised and easy to find. Carrie, our bus driver, was funny and knowledgeable. The boat appeared modern and ideally suited to the trip. Connor, the captain, was informative and helpful while Ammon and Mia, our guide and naturalist, were terrific. Thanks to Connor's talent and experience, we saw matbe half a dozen humpback whales and had an amazing experience. Highly recommended.
