Join us for Whale Watching in our cool Alaskan waters and then view one of 38 glaciers from the Juneau Ice Fields - the spectacular Mendenhall Glacier. We guide you on a 2 hour whale watching tour, spotting Humpback whales and other wildlife. Then off to the Mendenhall Glacier to spend some time hiking, watching fish spawn at Steep Creek or enjoy an outstanding view from the Visitor Center. You get 1.5 hours at the park, but don't worry! That is the perfect amount of time to walk to nugget falls and take in the displays at the visitor center.

5.00Most amazing whale watching tour I have ever taken. We got to see a full breech right in front of our boat.

4.00This was a great Alaska experience as we got to see the impressive glacier and learn about the region from the visitor center. So a nature experience combined with a lot of education and we were happy with it all.
Oversold the tour resulting in lost time

3.00The guides and drivers themselves were fantastic. Very informative and friendly. The tours themselves - whale watching and visiting the Mendenhall Glacier visitor center was also fine. However, this tour company oversold by several people and the check in process was sloppy. The line management and instructions were messy so multiple people ended up cutting. This was frustrating for those who had been waiting over 30 min just for people to walk up and cut because the tour employees gave bad instructions. We also watched a family get kicked off a bus and told tough luck because the company accepted more bookings than they had spots for. This bus debacle caused the first delay by about 20 min. Once we got to the marina for the whale watching tour, another delay. There was too many people on both boats departing. 15 more minutes. They had to figure out who they had to kick off and send on a bus elsewhere. We saw no whales, but the guide on board was very informative. We knew chances were lower in October. We got picked up on another bus and dropped off at the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center. We arrived just before 6pm, about 30 min from nightfall. We barely had any time in the daylight, which was disappointing. Overall, if you book with this company, beware of our experience. We still made the best of it, but I would not book with them again based on how they operate.

5.00Captain Dustin, Nate, & Lauren were fantastic! They were very knowledgeable about whales & excellent at spotting them. We saw a LOT of whales. I highly recommend this tour when in Juneau. The glacier & waterfall were also incredible to see!
A must do in Juneau

5.00The crew on the boat was fun and full of jokes. These guys seemed to love their jobs. Found quote a few whales which was a surprise as it was late in the season. Drivers on the busses were great with lots of stories and information about the area. The hike to the waterfall at the glacier was a good chance to stretch ones legs in spite of the rain. Great trip overall.
Sept 21st visit

3.00Our tour was a combo whale watch with Mendenhall glacier. The operator started with the whale watch at 2:30pm....which meant that the glacier visitor center was closed by the time we returned. The glacier and waterfall hike was ok but about 30 min each way (around a mile). One whale watch was a bit disappointing as we only saw the backs and dorsal fin of a couple of humpbacks (can't control nature). We felt boat operator kept moving boat and missed other whales surfacing as other boats stayed in their areas.
Whale Watching Amazing

5.00I purchased the Whale Watching and Mendenhall Combo Tour. The whale watching was amazing and our crew was awesome. The views at the Glacier were incredible, but there’s not an actual tour or guide. The path to the falls was flooded so honestly could have been less time spent there.
Great Experience.
