Beautiful Mendenhall Glacier!

Great communication prior to tour. Our guide took a pic of his van and told us exactly where he would pick us up. Great time at the Glaciers, Shrine and whale exhibit. Our guide was very knowledgeable of Juneau and the surrounding area. Offered us soft drinks and water throughout the tour. Great day!

Wonderful Juneau tour despite rainy weather.

Take the short ‘hike’ to Nugget Falls at Mendenhall Glacier - it’s paved and mostly flat. Spend as much time as you can at the shrine of St. Therese - it’s so beautiful and serene. We spotted seals and a whale in the surrounding waters.
