Fun and informative. A ride to the end of the road, passing by sightseeing stops of the glacier. Stop in the middle for a light hike through the forest, with a ton of interesting facts. My 12 year old and teenagers loved the entire time. Shout out to Phoenix and Kyler, great guides

We traveled with Josh who was awesome. Even though this was “transportation and not a tour” - I couldn’t tell the difference he was so enjoyable and knowledgeable. Was early to our ship with great communication, and dropped us where requested after visiting the glacier. Would recommend

      The glacier was beautiful. Our driver was amazing and very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour.

      Very bad behavior by the offering company

      Nilay_G, Aug 2026
      Not so good . It is too expensive as a to and fro ride which we were not informed and it was advertized as the taxi is private tour and it will be at yr disposal for 2:30 hrs.it is not they say they will drop u and after that they will pick drop other people and u must stay at visitor center u like it or not until pick u up after 2:30 hrs from start point. The driver came late and was blaming the traffic which i do not believe was true. Very unfriendly behavior. We have to call the help center to fet an early ride which they arranged after too mich hassle. Lucklily the other drover Pete was personally good enough and friedly and helped . Otherwise it was a total waste of money. $300 for to and fro taxi. uber would have been far far cheaper. Will never recommend and. Ask viator to have clear instructions in description. Very bad experience. Wasted my money

      Hi there, we appreciate your feedback. You were accommodated very quickly and got an earlier ride than what was scheduled & still got a free tour as well. Please reach out to us and let us know what we can do better. Thanks!

      Nothing out of the ordinary, the bus will pick you and will drive by 1 hour, locky if you see one bear.

      Thank you for your feedback. We do not offer wild life tours as wild life is not guaranteed. We hope you enjoyed your transport. Thanks!

      Good trip, but other options

      The ride was great. Josh was an awesome guide, helpful, and accommodating. However, $60 per person is a bit much!

      Great experience!

      I didn't find out the time of our excursion till the day of the excursion. I did not have wifi on the ship which would have helped with communication to plan a time frame. We were a party of six including a child. This excursion worked for us as we didn't have to worry about parking, less expensive than the cruise line tour and our guide gave us helpful and interesting info. Joshua was helpful and kept in communication for pick up. He also stopped at the hatchery and we saw salmon and a seal.

      Super easy way to get to the glacier! Especially with a group of 12. Nice to have our own van. Happy

      Trip to Mendenhall easy

      Crystal_W, Jul 2026
      Josh was great. Picked us up right as we got off the tender, dropped us right at the visitor center. Picked us up right outside the visitor center. Showed us highlights of Juneau. Could not have been easier. Thanks

      We loved our driver. He was fun to talk with and made the 25 minute drive seem very short. It’s a nice way to get to the visitor center and to see Nugget Fall. Also they had an 8 passenger van perfect for group of 7.

      This tour was fantastic. Kai used his local knowledge to show us the best of Juneau. He was an amazing driver and guide. We saw more than originally planned and his stories gave us insight into living in Juneau.

      Great option for small groups

      Robert_B, Jul 2026
      Great for small groups. Cheeper than big bus companies and more convenient. Driver was friendly and prompt.

      Excellent and organized

      Greg_P, Jun 2026
      This transportation provider was organized and communicated with us very well. Our driver, Josh, was excellent. It was nice to talk to a driver with a local perspective on things in Juneau. Highly recommend!! Thanks

      Transfer to the waterfall.

      Shari_W, Jun 2026
      The driver was on time. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He allowed us to take whatever time we wanted to spend there.

      I made a good choice.

      Clifford_W, Jun 2026
      My group of six were able to get to Mendenhall before the hundreds of people who left the ship at the same time as us but chose the city bus option. They were walking in while we were walking out. Josh drove and picked us up at the agreed upon time. He also pointed out a trio of bears along the roadside.Goo

      Well Worth the Money !

      This was great for our party of 4. Pick right In town a few steps away from the pier. We were driven to the Mendenhall Glacier and we were on our own time frame and didn’t have to go with a large group. Picked us up and dropped us off right back into town. Well worth the money !

      Great communication with the drivers. Friendly and informative drivers. They gave us two hours to stay at the Mendenhall glacier which was a perfect amount of time.

      Excellent service

      Carlos_G, Apr 2026
