Overview

Southeast Alaska's Mendenhall Glacier is a large icefield accessible near Juneau. This 4.5-hour tour starts with about 45 minutes of self-guided time at the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center where visitors can observe the glacier and surrounding park independently. After exploring the glacier area, the tour continues to the whale watching harbor for a boat excursion. Passengers board a fast jet boat equipped with heated cabins, restrooms, and outdoor deck space. Expert captains and naturalists provide live commentary while searching for humpback whales and other marine wildlife. The company guarantees whale sightings from a safe distance. Bottled water and snacks are provided, and roundtrip transport from the cruise terminal with port pickup and drop-off is included.
