Experience the grandeur of Alaska on this multi-glacier flightseeing tour. Everyone has a window seat while flying in a nostalgic floatplane over five of the Juneau Icefield's glaciers. Your adventure begins as your aircraft departs from Juneau's waterfront, amid the remains of early gold mines.
Fly past waterfalls and rain forests, over lakes and winding river banks, en-route to five distinctly different glaciers of the 1,500 square mile Juneau Icefield. Soar over the deep crevasses and azure blue meltwater pools of the Norris, Hole-In-The-Wall, East and West Twin Glaciers, and the mighty Taku.
Of the 36 named glaciers of the Juneau Icefield, the Taku Glacier, five miles wide at its base, is the only glacier not retreating but advancing. With the unique location of the historic floatplane dock in the center of downtown Juneau, you have the advantage of short flight distances into the heart of the glaciers, allowing you to see the most of the Juneau Icefield with time left to enjoy the city itself or explore Alaska's state capital on another shore excursion.

This wildlife sightseeing cruise features guaranteed whale watching. Following a short motorcoach ride to Auke Bay, you'll board a waterjet-powered catamaran specifically designed for wildlife viewing.
Relax in the warm, spacious main cabin, surrounded by large windows as your captain guides you through the island-studded waters of Stephen's Passage.
Against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the Juneau Icefield, the onboard naturalist will explain the behavior and habitat of wildlife you may encounter, including humpback and killer whales, Steller sea lions, Dall's porpoise, harbor seals, bald eagles, bears and deer.
The operators of this tour guarantee you will see a whale. If not, you'll receive a $100 cash refund ($50 per child) as you disembark the tour boat. Don't anticipate a refund; in the past seven years whales have been sighted on every tour!

More than a meal, this is a true Alaskan cookout. This has been Alaska's original "all-you-can-eat" outdoor salmon bake for over 30 years! At Gold Creek Salmon Bake, Alaskan-caught salmon will be grilling over an open alderwood fire.
Your meal also includes barbecued ribs, chicken, baked beans, rice pilaf, a variety of salads, corn bread and beverages. Live musical entertainment is provided as you dine beside Salmon Creek, nestled in the foliage of Southeast Alaska's rain forest, under translucent domes that will protect you from any sort of weather.
After dining, roast marshmallows over a campfire or view the Salmon Creek waterfall, where, in season, salmon spawn and the remnants of a historic stamp mill and gold mine are located. This true Alaskan cookout is a taste of the Last Frontier's history.
