Sample Popular Shore & Land Excursions in Juneau

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. |
Your professionally trained guides will outfit you with all necessary safety equipment and provide a detailed safety briefing before transporting you by a 4x4 all-terrain vehicle up the forested hillside to the first zip line tree platform. This is your introduction to nearly a mile of high-tension cables linking a network of platforms mounted high in trees. Your guides will progressively ease you into the rainforest canopy. Cross an aerial suspension bridge with treetop views of Bullion Creek and Juneau. Discover hidden ruins of the historic Treadwell Mine, once one of the world's largest gold mines. On the last zip line you will soar to base camp, where a light snack and memento of your experience awaits. |
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! |
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. |
This guiding service caters to the first timer with hands on instruction and the experienced fly caster will enjoy the challenge of Alaskan fishing and the guide interaction. All fishing is done on an eco-conscious catch and release basis. Fishing species include cutthroat trout, dolly varden, and various salmon species. Quality gear is provided and a smoked salmon snack and beverage are included. Experience fishing in the heart of Alaskan wilderness, something road access doesn't allow. Whether a seasoned fly fisherman, a photographer, or a discriminating traveler looking for a genuine wilderness experience, this combination of flightseeing and fly fishing in a wilderness setting is an exclusive highlight to any Alaska visit. |
The first stop on your ride is Chapel by the Lake. The ride continues on the Juneau road system to the West Glacier beach trailhead for a view of the Mendenhall Glacier. The tour proceeds to the visitor's center at the east side of the Mendenhall Glacier. This portion of the ride includes a one mile trail ride through the rain forest. At the end of the ride, and after a chance to view the Mendenhall Glacier, board a van for a short ride to the award-winning Alaskan Brewing Company. While at the brewery, learn about the brewing process and sample the styles of beers produced. You'll have time to shop in the gift area of the Brewery before returning to the ship. |
This excursion combines the Four Glacier Adventure via Helicopter Tour with a once-in-a-lifetime dogsled ride on a glacier. Fly over the Juneau Icefield and land on the Middle Branch of the Norris Glacier, home of the exclusive dog mushing camp. After your helicopter touches down on the snow-capped glacier, view the scenery high above as you hear stories of the famous 1,000 mile Iditarod dogsled race from Anchorage to Nome. The highlight of your visit to the camp is a dogsled ride on the snow-covered glacier. Your flightseeing resumes over the glacial landscape as you watch for bears, mountain goats, and moose. Warm layered clothing, jacket and gloves are recommended. |
