Join us for Whale Watching in our cool Alaskan waters and then view one of 38 glaciers from the Juneau Ice Fields - the spectacular Mendenhall Glacier. We guide you on a 2 hour whale watching tour, spotting Humpback whales and other wildlife. Then off to the Mendenhall Glacier to spend some time hiking, watching fish spawn at Steep Creek or enjoy an outstanding view from the Visitor Center. You get 1.5 hours at the park, but don't worry! That is the perfect amount of time to walk to nugget falls and take in the displays at the visitor center.

    Excellent tour. Whale watching and Glacier combo allowed enough time for each activity. This tour offers more time at Meddenhall Glacier than any other company I researched. This allowed for enough time to walk to nugget falls, get pictures, visit the visitor center and make it to the pick up spot with time to spare. Drivers on both tours were organized and friendly. I would recommend this tour.
