Meeting and Pickup
Downtown Juneau-Mount Roberts Goldbelt Tramway - Instructions: We do not have a doc rep. Our bus driver will check you in on the sidewalk 15 minutes before the start time of your tour. We will meet you on the southern side of the Mount Roberts Goldbelt Tram. Arrive no later than your tour start time. Please stay clear of the large crowd under the trees as that is an unaffiliated company's meeting area. We drive a 28 passenger white Thomas bus that says Juneau Whale Tours/JWT on the side in dark blue lettering with our whale logo behind the rear tire. Our driver will be wearing a BRIGHT YELLOW HI-VIS VEST and holding a white sign with our whale logo and name on it. We will return you to the same location at the end of your time with us.READ ME IF YOU ARE IN PORT AT AJ DOCK!!!! AJ dock is 1 MILE AWAY from the Mount Roberts Goldbelt Tram. The city of Juneau provides frequent buses that will transport you to & from the Mt Roberts Goldbelt Tram (downtown) for a small fee. PLEASE PLAN FOR THIS ADDITIONAL STEP!!! ***WE DO NOT PICK UP FROM AJ.***Auke Bay/Statter Harbor - Instructions: 11497 Auke Bay Harbor Road Juneau, AK 99801.

We arrive and exit on the side of the marina with the grey building that has a "V" shaped roof. (Not the Harbor Office building.)*If you are planning on meeting at Statter Harbor please text your name, date and tour time; otherwise there might be a search party looking for you at the downtown pick up location.
