Juneau

Welcome to Juneau

Alaska’s capital and second-largest city, Juneau is an exciting visitor destination and major Inside Passage cruise ship stop. Juneau attractions include music festivals and Alaska Native cultural celebrations, many art galleries, Alaska’s largest professional theater, two opera companies, and a ski area. Tours of the historic city are popular, and just outside of town the amazing Mendenhall Glacier invites trekkers to enter the lush temperate rain forest and climb to explore the blue ice and fantastic shapes of the glacier. Whale watching, river float trips, gold panning, wildlife viewing, and salmon feeds are just a few of the treats waiting in Juneau.

Wonderful day in the rain forest and on the water!
We had a great day with Gastineau Guiding! Annie and Kyra guided us through a rainforest trail to Mendahall Glacier, which was very informative and beautiful. Then, Annie and Capt. Bryce took us on a 2 hour boat ride where we saw Humpback Whales, Orca Whales, Sea Lions, Eagles and beautiful views! We highly recommend an excursion with Gastineau Guiding if you’re heading to Juneau!!

The Nature Walk through the rain forest to Mendenhall Glacier was beautiful and so interesting. Annie and Kyra were terrific guides! And the boat ride with Annie and Bryce was fantastic! We saw Humpback Whales, Orca Whales, Sea Lions, Eagles and beautiful views! If you are in Juneau, we highly recommend an excursion with Gastineau Guiding! (And Valerie - Annie is doing fine!)

Good city tour!
Our guide Kenny is exceptional! He has provided some history facts/trivia along the way while entertaining us with his jokes and life stories. Such a fun tour even if we booked it very last minute. The actual tour itself is good, though it would've been better if u can afford to see the Mendallhall Glacier tour so you can appreciate the glacier up close, as the city tour has the glacier view but its very far.

Mendenhall Glacier and Whale Watching Tour

Great outing — definitely recommend
The Mendenhall glacier visit was great, absolutely beautiful, and the 2 mile walk was the perfect distance to see a beautiful view complete with waterfall. Be sure to climb the steps of the visitor center to get the best view of the glacier. Can’t remember the name of the boat, but it was purple with CJ as the captain. Wonderful experience with a knowledgeable guide and more whale viewing than I would have anticipated.

My wife is in a wheelchair and we were concerned about accessing the tour. Turns out, the shuttle bus is equipped to accommodate, as was the tour. The wife and I did some panning while we were there and brought back some real Alaskan gold (about $13.00 in today's market. I give this tour a solid 10 on a 10 point scale. Be sure to say hi the owners, they are a delightful couple.

Best tour of Juneau!
One of our favorite experiences in Alaska! Juneau as a port was very disappointing, just one diamond international store after another. It was so refreshing to have David pick us up and drive us out of the tourist madhouse to go see what makes Juneau and Alaska a gorgeous place. He drove us to 2 different locations to get views of Mendenhall glacier. Gave us information about the area. The trip out to the Temple of St. Teresa was amazing. He gave us time to walk around and take it all in. He pointed out wildlife and plant life and explained how Alaskans use the environment around them. He drove us to his favorite places. It was such an enjoyable afternoon. We loved it all!
