Mendenhall Lake Kayak Tour

The vibrant Inside Passage is one of the best places for spotting humpback whales in Alaska, and on this two-part adventure you not only travel up the passage on a small boat but also have the opportunity to kayak alongside the massive creatures.

Paddle with Whales Kayak Adventure Juneau

This is more than a sightseeing tour. Alaska Forest & Feast is a small group experience designed to help you slow down and experience Southeast Alaska through its forests, shoreline, stories, and flavors. You’ll explore the temperate rainforest while learning about native plants, seasonal foraging, traditional uses of the forest, and the deep relationship between local cultures and the land. Along the way, you’ll take in beautiful glacier and mountain views before arriving at a quiet beach for a mindfulness experience surrounded by ocean, forest, and mountains. The experience ends with locally inspired food that brings the flavors of Alaska into the journey, connecting what you have seen and learned in the forest with what you taste at the table. With a small group, a slower pace, and a focus on connection rather than checking off attractions, this experience offers a more personal and meaningful way to discover Juneau.

What are people saying about Juneau

Jennifer_N, Sept 2026

10/10 Glacier & Falls Experience!

Booking our tour to Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls with this company was super easy, the cost was very reasonable (Much better than any excursion expensed through the cruise line) Pickup was right by the gangway of our ship. We could see the meetup spot before we even got off the boat! Archie was a fantastic driver, shared a ton of interesting information on the way to the glacier and gave some great tips to really enjoy the experience, plus he is absolutely hilarious and we had a few great laughs on the way there! The glacier and Nugget Falls were awesome! We had plenty of time to explore, walk the trail to go at our own pace for a personal experience once we arrived. Archie was timely with the pickup time and offered a couple of different drop off options to make everything as easy as possible for everyone on the excursion. Overall, 10/10! Will absolutely book with Archie and M&M Tours again anytime we visit Juneau in the future!

Mendenhall Glacier Waterfall and Whale Watching Tour

Richard_S, Sept 2026

Great Double Tour

Everything they said it would be with snacks, coffee, great tour guides and fun. From the bus driver to the boat captain and mate they were professional and a lot of fun. We saw lots of wildlife and the glacier was an easy walk with pickup right at the visitor station

Mendenhall Glacier Trolley Tour

Jeana_C, Sept 2026

Shoes will be muddy

Comfortable trolley ride to the glacier with ample time to complete a hike to Nugget Falls (approximately 22 minutes each way). Visitor center is a must—the view is amazing and informative. The ladies room only has 3 stalls so use the trailer outside.

It was an amazing...

It was an amazing experience! The captain and his crew were very knowledge of the area and the whales. We saw multiple whales, both solitary and in groups “bubble feeding”!

Brittney_M, Sept 2026

Would definitely come back!

We had an AMAZING time! It was super easy to find, the check-in crew could have an attitude adjustment but the tour itself redeemed the entire check in experience. Griffin was INCREDIBLE! We would come back just to have him as one of our guides again. Entertaining, saw 5 beautiful whales, educational, and he made it so much fun! We also highly appreciated all the knowledge of both Justin and Kace had!! All around amazing tour. Plus the bus ride was also incredible with so much history of the city shared.

Support local business!

Lexi, who was the bus driver, was very informative and entertaining. She gave us a lot of good information, pointed out wildlife, and made sure everyone was comfortable. Ash and Captain Justin were amazing! They knew the area and made sure we saw Okras and Whales. You can tell Ash truly is working her dream job as her passion for whales is evident. She was super sweet. Highly recommend this trip! Loved that it was a local company - support local business!

Taku Lodge Feast & 5-Glacier Seaplane Discovery

tash4136, Sept 2026

Breathtaking scenery, Historic charm, memorable adventure

Booking was easy, especially with the option to cancel and get a full refund. The staff was friendly and helpful. The views from the plane were incredible and honestly took my breath away. The lodge itself has a lot of history, and there are a few walking trails to explore after lunch. We also had an amazing view of the glacier across the river. I would highly recommend this tour if it's the only one you chose to do. The food was okay, but that's not the reason to go-the scenery, glacier, and the overall experience were what made this excursion so memorable.
