We requested an accessible van for the ride from the cruise terminal to Mendenhall glacier. There was a miss-communication between the driver and the company so we did not have an accessible van for the ride up. They said they could bring an accessible van but we made it work. The van was accessible on the way back to the cruise terminal. The driver also showed us a couple of interesting areas along the route. Overall it all worked out and everyone was very accommodating.
Fun and informative. A ride to the end of the road, passing by sightseeing stops of the glacier. Stop in the middle for a light hike through the forest, with a ton of interesting facts. My 12 year old and teenagers loved the entire time. Shout out to Phoenix and Kyler, great guides
The glacier was beautiful. Our driver was amazing and very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Not so good . It is too expensive as a to and fro ride which we were not informed and it was advertized as the taxi is private tour and it will be at yr disposal for 2:30 hrs.it is not they say they will drop u and after that they will pick drop other people and u must stay at visitor center u like it or not until pick u up after 2:30 hrs from start point. The driver came late and was blaming the traffic which i do not believe was true. Very unfriendly behavior. We have to call the help center to fet an early ride which they arranged after too mich hassle. Lucklily the other drover Pete was personally good enough and friedly and helped . Otherwise it was a total waste of money. $300 for to and fro taxi. uber would have been far far cheaper. Will never recommend and. Ask viator to have clear instructions in description. Very bad experience. Wasted my money
Hi there, we appreciate your feedback. You were accommodated very quickly and got an earlier ride than what was scheduled & still got a free tour as well. Please reach out to us and let us know what we can do better. Thanks!
Nothing out of the ordinary, the bus will pick you and will drive by 1 hour, locky if you see one bear.
Thank you for your feedback. We do not offer wild life tours as wild life is not guaranteed. We hope you enjoyed your transport. Thanks!
The ride was great. Josh was an awesome guide, helpful, and accommodating. However, $60 per person is a bit much!
We traveled with Josh who was awesome. Even though this was “transportation and not a tour” - I couldn’t tell the difference he was so enjoyable and knowledgeable. Was early to our ship with great communication, and dropped us where requested after visiting the glacier. Would recommend
I didn't find out the time of our excursion till the day of the excursion. I did not have wifi on the ship which would have helped with communication to plan a time frame. We were a party of six including a child. This excursion worked for us as we didn't have to worry about parking, less expensive than the cruise line tour and our guide gave us helpful and interesting info. Joshua was helpful and kept in communication for pick up. He also stopped at the hatchery and we saw salmon and a seal.
Super easy way to get to the glacier! Especially with a group of 12. Nice to have our own van. Happy
Josh was great. Picked us up right as we got off the tender, dropped us right at the visitor center. Picked us up right outside the visitor center. Showed us highlights of Juneau. Could not have been easier. Thanks
