Mendenhall Glacier vattenfall och valskådningstur
Beskrivning
Även om vi är det ursprungliga valskådningsföretaget i Juneau (verksamt sedan 1994), är vi fortfarande små och familjeägda och drivs! Vi vill att du ska känna dig som en del av familjen, och vi är stolta över att prioritera lokala hyror för att ge tillbaka till vårt samhälle och ge dig den bästa möjliga turnéupplevelsen. Vi vill att våra guider ska älska Juneau lika mycket som du! Denna tur erbjuder en extra timme vid Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area. Detta ger dig en timme och fyrtiofem minuter till två timmar att titta på lax, besöka Visitor's Center, och göra vandringen till Nugget Falls! Vår flotta består av endast däggdjursvänliga jetbåtar, och den lilla storleken och intima miljön kommer att få dig att känna dig som hemma med valarna. Vi är stolta över våra snabba överföringar mellan fordon! Vi vill inte att du ska vänta längre än du absolut måste!

The pick up was chaotic but once on board it was reasonably well organised through to the glacier visit. At that point we were pretty much left to our own devices and told to come back based on a bus schedule back to the dock. I couldn't say we had a 'guide' on the glacier visit we were really just dropped off and told to "walk that way". The Glacier and waterfall were worth the visit though and I would have rated higher for this experience alone. The whale watching was a bit of a farce. We were hyped up as having the best boat captain who had a knack for the finding the whale. In essence we simply joined a queue of boats radioing each other on the two way and racing to the same locations once they spotted the whales. We saw three whales and were jostling amongst a dozen or more boats. Our captain was quite reserved and stayed well outside the distance required for observing the whales. It was over before we knew it and I could only rate the experience as average and felt hat as an Australia we literally have better whale watching off the beach for free. Wouldn't do it again.
Everything about our excursion with Dolphin everything about the tour was great - from pickup at the dock to the small boat whale watching to the transport to the glacier and back to the ship. We also got extremely lucky to see a huge pod of orcas thanks to our guide’s efforts. I also appreciated that their boat is one of the only truly wildlife friendly boats out there. Thanks for a wonderful day in Juneau!
We got to see whales and seals. Mendenhall glacier and nugget falls are stunning.
The walk to the waterfall was well worth it! The ship crew and shuttle drivers were great. Thank you for the early shuttle back!
Captain JJ and Kaylee were very knowledgeable and passionate about the whales and wildlife. We saw whales, sea lions and eagles. Kaylee was especially good with the children (5 & 9) in our group. The boat was covered so rainy weather was no problem. Our coach driver William was also very knowledgeable of the area, indicating and explaining points of interest. Mendenhall Glacier was amazing. We highly recommend this tour for all ages.
We had a full day of fun whale watching and exploring Mendenhall Glacier. Our bus driver was entertaining and went all out to make sure we had a wonderful experience. The narrator during the whale watching part of our tour was very knowledgeable. We saw many hump back whales breaching and saw many tail flips. We moved on to view Mendenhall glacier and took a short walk on the trail to the water falls near the glacier. Got some excellent photos. Good experience.
Great Experience, The naturalist did a great job describing what we were going to see and what the whales where going to be doing. The captain maneuvered the boat so we an excellent view.
We booked this excursion as part of a cruise experience with Silver Whisper on Saturday, June 20. We looked very forward to this activity and believed it would be the highlight of our long awaited trip. We went with a group from the cruise ship, people we did not know, and were meant by the driver McKinley. He brought us to the glacier and waterfall, and emphasized that time was limited, so we opted to go to the photo point location instead of the water fall trail because Nugget Water Fall was a longer hike. He gave us a so-called test before we exited the bus, which included his name, the bus number, and pick up time. I wrote them down. He explained that the parking time was limited and he couldn’t linger. This comment caused us to decide on the shorter path to the glacier. At 2:15 we stood at the pick up spot, only to see McKinley pull out from behind the other waiting buses and leave the area. At first we believed he was going to return and was just complying with a “no lingering” rule. He never did return for us. Clearly he never took a head count and didn’t even know we were stranded. Fortunately a kind driver by the name of Debbie from the Alaskan tour company notified the dispatcher no an hour later we took another bus back to Juneau. We did not go on the whale watch obviously. Silver whisper did reimburse our fees, for the failed trip, however, there were no vacancies for future whale watches. We received no apology from Alaska Tours. McKinley’s approach to his job was unprofessional and negligent, We were respectful and punctual and he did not care enough to make sure 2 elderly people were provided with the transportation they paid for. We won’t ever be in Alaska again, it was a once in a lifetime trip, and whale watching was to be a highlight for us. We appreciate that another young driver helped us. We also noted that he did a head count of his passengers and was apologetic to us. MCKinley should have more concern for the welfare of his passengers, especially elderly people. It caused a lot of unnecessary stress and a waste of an afternoon.
Rio was an amazing guide and explained every detail of Juneau that we could have wanted. We saw so many whales, sea lions and just beautiful scenery! This excursion was a true highlight of our vacation!
An amazing experience! JJ and Nelly were fantastic
