Trolley to Mendenhall Glacier
Absolutely one of the best experiences ever seeing the glacier and our trolley driver was amazing. He kept us engaged and told us all about the area! I think his name was Troy.

Shoes will be muddy
Comfortable trolley ride to the glacier with ample time to complete a hike to Nugget Falls (approximately 22 minutes each way). Visitor center is a must—the view is amazing and informative. The ladies room only has 3 stalls so use the trailer outside.

Think twice before booking this outside your cruise offerings.
Mendenhall Glaciers absolutely worth a look however I do not recommend booking this tour. Absolutely book through your cruise company for this one. We were late getting into port due to weather and getting off the ship took longer than usual and we missed our tour time. Viator and this third party company Juneau Tours blaming the other for the reason that a refund can’t be issued saying the other isn’t authorizing it there fore there isn’t anything that they could do unfortunately. Will definitely be more careful and in certain ports by not using these services and booking directly via my ship excursions offerings.

Must do
Nice trolley ride 30- 40 minutes to mendanhall Driver provides excellent information along the way. You are on your own at the park , plenty of time to walk to the falls 1 Mile, see mendanhall at different points.

The glacier is an amazing sight. Highly recommended. The driver was waiting at the cruise port when we got off the ship. Very easy to find. Organised. Staff friendly. Joey was a breath of fresh air. Thankyou.

Mendenhall Glacier tour.
If ur not going to Nugget Falls, it’s a long wait for the bus to get back to pick u up. Troy, our guide was the best part of the tour. Made the tour very interesting.

It is not what it sounds...
It is not what it sounds like.You are dropped off & then picked back up 2 hrs later. I will say that our driver Joey was awesome.

Rainy day at Mendenhall
Our tour guide was great. He provided lots of interesting information. The tour provided the perfect amount of time for a group of nine with 2 small children to enjoy the glacier and waterfall. Due to the rain, I wish there had been more than a small covered area to wait for the trolley at the end of the excursion. We had to stand in the rain because there was no covered space available. We had a longer wait than expected because the trolley was running late to the pick up spot, for reasons out of the guide’s control.
