Plz come prepared for rain and a little hike! The glacier is absolutely beautiful and the Juneau people are even more kinder!

Driver guide offered interesting background info on Juneau and what to see at Mendenhall glacier. He was funny and enjoyable. Easy pick up and return at dock area.

Viator had the best priced tickets, but for what you get. I feel it lacks value. Basically spent $300 for a bus ride. Yes the driver was friendly, and talked about the area some. But when you get to the glacier and realize the entry is $5 a person, and its not all that far from the port. You could probably of found a far more reasonable priced option of getting there. Plus you can't even get close to the glacier. If you're on a nothing bound cruise, you will see far more glaciers, and up close. Go ahead and skip this one. Beautiful area, yes. But not worth the $300.

Super beautiful. Worth the little walk to the waterfall as well. Joey was an awesome guide and very funny. 10/10 recommend.
Kathleen_T, Jul 2026
Great communication, very knowledgeable driver. Everything about the excursion clearly explained. Will definitely use again!
Stan_P, Jul 2026
Tour is okay but not really that much to see. You don’t really get that close to the glacier. Very expensive for what you get to see.
Rosalba_N, Jul 2026
Shuttle bus driver was Mary. She was very nice and gave a lot of information.
The Falls was a LOOONNNNNG walk, not sure if it was worth it.
Yvonne_l, Jun 2026
Well managed tour. Troy the guide was fantastic. Informative highlights and clear instructions about pickup / drop off point. Our group of 8 had a great time!
Kari_P, Jun 2026

Short walk to visitor center. There is an elevator to the center. Mostly level walk to picture viewing area.
Winnie_S, Jun 2026
This is a great tour. Our trolly driver Wayne was so informative about Juneau and pointed out places of interest on the way to the glacier. He gave recommendations on the trails once there and on the way back to town gave reviews of the best restaurants! The glacier was beautiful the hikes to photo very easy and the waterfall hike was refreshing and the weather while cold was pleasant!
Joy_K, Jun 2026
Easy to find pickup area and very efficient. Driver was very informative about the area and what to look at on the way.
Richard_C, Jun 2026
Bus ride to the Glacier is quick (~20-25”). We traveled with an 8 and 10 y.o. who enjoyed all the hiking in the Park. Strongly recommend taking the trail to the Falls; spectacular and a easy walk

Joey was a great driver and tour guide on our trip to Mendenhall Glacier. He was informative, knowledgeable, and funny.
sara_t, Jun 2026
You have to walk a long ways to get to the glacier. I was not aware of this. But we were able to see glacier from a distance and take good pictures
Tina_B, Jun 2026
Great tour! Troy was an awesome guide who kept the ride entertaining and it was a very informative tour. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed it overall! Great family activity to see the glacier and the beautiful scenery Alaska has to offer!
Sharon_H, Jun 2026
Wayne was an awesome tour guide! We learned so much about the area and Mendenhall Glacier. Wayne not only was a great tour guide but he was a very safe driver! Learned so much about the history of Juneau. Highly recommend especially if Wayne can be your guide!
Carlene_I, Jun 2026
Troy was dynamite! He was very informative and a great sense of humor. I would request Troy should we visit again.
christopher_s, Jun 2026
Awesome experience, beautiful ride on the trolley very informational. Troy did a great job! Beautiful Mendenhall glacier and Nugget Falls worth the walk, exploring and awesome excursion.

The Glacier is great to see but unless you are capable of taking the long trail to get closer, there is not much to see for the two hours you are left there before the return pickup. The Visitor Center is interesting but seating is very limited to a cushioned ledge along the front window. Some water was available, nothing else. Restrooms are very available. Our day was cold and rainy which made a long wait in the crowded Visitor Center. The bus driver was on time and very friendly, even stopping the bus to show us a Momma bear with cubs just off the road.
Shari_H, Jun 2026
Phenomenal day! Milo and Niko made the day so fun and safe. They truly went out of their way to make us all comfortable and brought the jokes too!
Sigrid_H, Jun 2026
The trolley was super convenient and always on time, and we had a blast on the ride! Our driver, Wayne, was also a wealth of knowledge, sharing great tips on which trails to explore at Mendenhall Glacier. Plus, he’s fantastic at spotting eagles, so everyone got to see them too.
Keith_E, Jun 2026
This is an excellent tour with good history and geography facts about the area. Not too scientific but enough to make you appreciative of the glacier history. Hurry, because in another 5 to 10 years, this glacier will be gone.
Jennifer_R, Jun 2026
Mildenhall hall glacier is amazing. Definitely worth the trip. The trolley busses are neat and clean. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable.
Antonio_R, Jun 2026

Phil_L, Jun 2026
The trolley ride with Troy was good . Plenty of information about the area was given . Pick up points very easy and bus was on time .
The glacier and nugget falls were amazing as was the walk through the rain forest . Nice flat walking surface .

Breathtaking! There’s nothing like the Falls! My friends and I had the best time walking through the woods to get to the Falls. The Glaciers were absolutely amazing! My photos don’t do it justice.
