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

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!

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.
