Be picked up at a central meeting point in Juneau and hop aboard a comfortable and spacious bus. Relax and take in stunning views on the way to the Mendenhall Valley. Hop aboard a jetboat and begin your whale-watching adventure.

Cruise through the Favourite Channel, Stephens Passage, Lynn Canal, or Saginaw Channel. With the help of a naturalist guide, look for wildlife like humpback whales. Use the provided binoculars to try to spot these creatures at a distance.

Arrive at the Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area, where you have free time to take an easy hike to Nugget Falls. This tour is designed specifically for people who want extra time to reach the picturesque Nugget Falls, a waterfall overlooking the Mendenhall Glacier. Alternatively, use your free time to explore the Visitors Centre for educational opportunities about the glacier, or walk the board walk over looking a creek where salmon spawn. Return to your meeting point in Juneau at the end of the experience.

This tour offers an additional hour at the Recreation Area, for a total of an hour and forty-five minutes to two hours. If you only want forty-five minutes to an hour, check out our standard Mendenhall Glacier and Whale Watching tour!
