Itinerario
Disfruta de un traslado narrado al espectacular glaciar Mendenhall y su centro de visitantes, donde un guardabosques puede satisfacer tu curiosidad sobre las maravillas naturales allí. Deambule por los jardines, tome fotos, disfrute de las exhibiciones interactivas y tenga la oportunidad de ver a los osos darse un festín de salmón.
Desde el glaciar Mendenhall, lo llevaremos a Auke Bay, donde abordará nuestro moderno bote a reacción de 48 pasajeros diseñado especialmente para la observación de ballenas de Juneau. Tiene ventanas extragrandes y una terraza exterior. Juneau tiene una población saludable de ballenas jorobadas con unas 65 ballenas que regresan cada temporada para alimentarse en las aguas ricas en nutrientes, y nuestros capitanes de barco son expertos en localizarlos. Garantizamos avistamientos de ballenas; Si no hay ballenas durante su crucero, le reembolsaremos $ 100 a cada adulto y $ 50 para niños. Tu capitán te avisará cuando veas ballenas, pero es probable que primero escuches un coro colectivo de "¡Oohhs!" y "Ahhs!" de tus compañeros aventureros cuando presencian una brecha gigante jorobada de repente. Los binoculares están disponibles para su uso a bordo. Aventúrate en la cubierta para disfrutar de una vista panorámica de tu entorno o para tomar una foto, o acomódate en un entorno interior cálido y cómodo para disfrutar del paisaje y los avistamientos de vida salvaje a través de las ventanas de gran tamaño.
Después de tu crucero de avistamiento de ballenas, te diriges al Gold Creek Salmon Bake. En un hermoso entorno ubicado en la selva tropical, llegarás con el aroma del salmón salvaje de Alaska asado sobre un fuego de leña de aliso abierto. El buffet de todo lo que puedas comer también incluye pollo Cheechako, papas al gratinadas Alyeska, frijoles horneados Chilkoot, pilaf de arroz salvaje Tongass y otros lados, ensaladas, bebidas y pastel de arándanos para el postre. Después de la comida, asa malvaviscos en una fogata, visita el Salmon Creek Trading Post y pasea por la hermosa cascada de Salmon Creek. Tome su tiempo; Puede regresar al muelle a su gusto.

Glacier is breathtaking! Corrina was great on letting us know what was our options in the time we had at the glacier. She also was good about pointing out wildlife on the bus ride. Nia and Captain Jay took us out for whale watching and wow! We seen a pod of whales (at least 4)! Nia talked to us about the whales and was very knowledgeable! We seen other wildlife, as well. The salmon was very good! It is grilled and tasted great!
A little bit of everything! We enjoyed the time on our own to explore and hike the glacier area, including an amazing waterfall. And the whale watching was amazing. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable and the boat was very comfortable. Not a bad view from anywhere on the boat. And yes, we saw whales! And eagles! And Stellar Sea Lions. The salmon bake, along the Salmon Creek, was amazing food. There was also salmon in the salmon creek! And a waterfall. The musician playing while you ate and then explore was a nice touch and appreciated. There was even a marshmallow roasting station. The transportation drivers were friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed at every stop. We were fat and happy and tired out by the end of the excursion.
Not enough space to put how amazing, awe struck, scenic this trip was. From the bus driver to the naturalists everyone was top notch.
Great experience whale watching- make sure you wait on other side of cable car shop, or you might miss them! Bright red jackets and enthusiasm for conservation from tour guides who know their whales!
The best tour we had on our trip. First Mary the bus driver alone was worth the money. She was a great story teller and we laughed so much out sides hurt. Then the Whale tour the guide was very informative . He even knew the names of the wales, ages, history and etc. The time at the glacier could of been a little longer but still got to see it. The meal was delicious. Every thing was good and then after dinner the walk to the waterfall was great to digest all the food. We had an amazing day!!! The only thing that was an issue was finding our bus, the tour is listed as The best of Juneau on the signs so just something for others to be aware.
We spent an hour at Mendenhall Glacier. It’s a 1.9 mile in and out. We had to hike fast if we wanted to go to Nugget Falls and see the glacier up close. Wish we had a bit longer. Whale watching was very disappointing. I realize it is wildlife and they can’t be predicted but every other person I talked to on our cruise ship had a much better time. Our Naturalist said the law is to stay 100 yards from the whales (unless they swim to you) but they like to stay 150 yards away. She also made a fellow guest feel bad when she got excited about orca whales. I felt really bad for her. We spent an hour and 20 minutes of driving to see whales from a long distance for 20 minutes and drive by some sea otters. Very disappointing. Salmon bake was good. Not much for my gluten free/celiac husband besides all he can eat salmon.
Outstanding. Saw many whales including some Orcas
Whale Watching with Autumn and Captain Matt was very informative and exciting. We saw multiple whales and seals. The day was sun filled. The salmon bake was fun and tasty. Mendenhall Glacier is a wonderful sight to see.
Great experience all around, knowledgeable bus driver, exceptional whale watching with Nia and Lee, not only did we see a number of whales but the background information provided was incredible. Finished with a very delicious dinner at the salmon bake (salmon, cornbread and ribs were excellent). Highly recommended!!!
The driver who picked us up at the cruise dock was inexperienced and gave us faulty information regarding when and where to meet the bus that would pick us up from Mendenhall Glacier. She did not provide any narrative on the drive, and then told us we would only have 50 minutes at that location- when I specifically asked if there would be time to hike to the falls, she emphatically stated no, that it took 45 minutes for one way trip, and we needed to be back to where she dropped us off at 10:05. The glacier was beautiful, but I was super disappointed not to be able to experience the falls. Bus did not arrive until 10:30 and was a different color and at a different location than what she described- we would have had plenty of time to get to the falls and back again by 10:30. The whale watching portion and the salmon bake were both excellent- would have given them both a 5 star review individually. Mendenhall Glacier itself was lovely, but the miscommunication by our driver caused a great deal of frustration and disappointment for all guests on this tour.
