ジュノーのベスト：メンデンホール氷河、ホエールウォッチング、サーモンベイク

Fantastic whale watching, all aspects were great end people were caring and experienced and friendly.

The experience was a rather large let down. My wife isn't a big fan of Salmon, I thought having really fresh salmon would change her mind. It didn't happen. The salmon lacked flavor, appeared to not have any spices on it, and was over cooked. The side dishes lacked flavor as well. It seemed more like a pot luck at the local church. This location seemed to be more focused on getting as many people as they possibly could get in there at a time. We had to wait on our bus to get off so they could get people out of there to have enough room. Once you got through the long line to eat you had to search for an open table to eat. We didn't think we were going to be able to sit with our group of 4. If by chance you wanted to get more to eat you had to get back in the line of people that went around the building. The people that got off of the bus in front of us looked down at the line of people waiting and said lets go back and got on the next bus out of there. We initially though they made a mistake. We were wrong. Overall the venue seems more focused on making as much money as they can over giving someone a true Alaskan Salmon bake experience. We would recommend taking a short walk and check out the water fall. It was flowing well because we were told it was raining more that day than any other day of the season.

Driver was awesome (Corrina)! Very fun informative day with lots of activities packed in. Whale watching was spectacular- whales in every direction! The salmon bake area is fun to explore too. Would have loved a little bit more time at Mendenhall glacier to explore Nugget Falls longer because it was beautiful. Overall a great time!

This was wonderful- we had a great whale watching experience ❤️ but had to skip the glacier. Don't do this excursion if you don't have at least 6 hours to use. We only had 4.5 hours and it was barely enough time for 2 activities. We had to return to our cruise ship before 7:30. We should have picked and paid for two activity package. Lesson learned. 😩

This was a nightmare experience! The excursion company left my wife and I stranded at the glacier and when we called the office they simply said "sorry, but there's nothing we can do". Apparently their drivers are independent contractors, so they can come and go as they see fit. We completely missed out on the salmon bake and whale watching. We ultimately had to pay another excursion company to give us a ride back to Juneau. Highly recommend going with a different excursion company!!!!

We had a fantastic whale watching tour with Joey and Claire! They took us right to a dozen humpbacks, which we watched for nearly an hour, and shared good information along the way. We also saw sea lions and harbor porpoises (which they said are usually elusive). They answered our questions and took the time to help my daughter identify the whales by name using the marks on their flukes. The hour we spent at the Mendenhall Glacier was unguided. Sadly, the trail to Nugget Falls was closed due to flood concerns. We enjoyed the views and visitors exhibits. The salmon bake lunch has such a cozy vibe in an idyllic setting. The food itself was good—not exceptional, but good. The sounds of the creek flowing, the sight of hanging flower baskets, the smell of salmon cooked over a wood fire, and the chance to toast marshmallows… these are the things I’ll remember!!

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!

+4

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!
