See it all on Alaska’s ultimate combination tour, featuring three of Juneau’s premier attractions: the Whale Watching & Wildlife Quest, the famous Mendenhall Glacier, and the Alaska-Style Salmon Bake!
Your adventure begins with a deluxe wildlife-viewing cruise. Relax in the warm, spacious cabin, surrounded by large windows, as your experienced Captain guides you through the island-studded waters of Stephen’s Passage. The onboard naturalist will explain the behavior and habitat of wildlife you may encounter, including humpback and killer whales, sea lions, porpoise, harbor seals, bald eagles and more. The operator of this tour guarantees you will see a whale. If not, you’ll receive a $100 cash refund ($50 refund per child) as you disembark the vessel.
Upon return to Auke Bay, a narrated motorcoach ride takes you to view and photograph the world-famous Mendenhall Glacier. At the newly renovated
Visitor Center you’ll have the opportunity to talk with Forest Service interpreters, and – through interactive exhibits – learn about the awesome force of glacial ice.
An outdoor feast at the Gold Creek Salmon Bake completes your “Best of Juneau” experience. Enjoy wild Alaska salmon grilled over an alderwood fire, and barbecued ribs and chicken, along with rice pilaf, bake beans, fresh salads, corn bread, and a selection of beverages. Beer and wine are available for an additional charge. Roast marshmallows over a crackling
fire, walk the trail to a waterfall, and enjoy many other features of this beautiful setting, before returning to your ship aboard one of the regularly departing shuttle buses.
