Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Desfrute de uma transferência narrada para o espetacular Glaciar Mendenhall e seu Centro de Visitantes, onde um guarda pode satisfazer sua curiosidade sobre as maravilhas da natureza. Passeie pelos jardins, tire fotos, assista a exposições interativas e tenha a chance de assistir ursos banqueteando-se com salmão.
Da geleira Mendenhall, nós o levaremos para Auke Bay, onde você embarcará em nosso moderno barco a jato para 48 passageiros, projetado para a observação de baleias em Juneau. Possui janelas extra-grandes e um deck de observação externo. Juneau tem uma população saudável de baleias jubarte, com cerca de 65 baleias retornando a cada estação para se alimentar em águas ricas em nutrientes, e nossos capitães de barcos são especialistas em localizá-las. Garantimos avistamentos de baleias; se não houver baleias durante o cruzeiro, reembolsaremos US $ 100 a cada adulto e US $ 50 a crianças. Seu capitão informará quando as baleias forem avistadas, mas é provável que você primeiro ouça um coro coletivo de "Oohhs!" e "Ahhs!" de seus companheiros aventureiros enquanto testemunham uma brecha gigante de repente. Binóculos estão disponíveis para uso a bordo. Aventure-se no convés para desfrutar de uma vista panorâmica do seu entorno ou para tirar uma foto, ou acomode-se no seu ambiente acolhedor e confortável interior para apreciar a paisagem e a observação da vida selvagem através das janelas grandes.
Após o cruzeiro de observação de baleias, você estará no Gold Creek Salmon Bake. Em um belo cenário aninhado na floresta tropical, você chegará com o aroma de salmão selvagem do Alasca grelhando sobre um fogo aberto de madeira de amieiro. O buffet que você pode comer também inclui frango Cheechako, batata gratinada Alyeska, feijão cozido Chilkoot, pilaf de arroz selvagem Tongass e outros lados, saladas, bebidas e bolo de mirtilo para a sobremesa! Após a sua refeição, assar marshmallows em uma fogueira crepitante, visite o Posto de Comércio de Salmon Creek e passeie pela bela cachoeira de Salmon Creek. Não tenha pressa; você pode retornar ao cais quando quiser.

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.
Had an amazing time. Staff were kind and friendly. We were worried about getting back to boat and they reassured me
