Itinerary

Mendenhall Glacier

2 hours

Our tour takes place in the estuarial region directly in front of the Mendenhall glacier. The view that you get on our tour is one of the most complete views of the glacier in all of Juneau. You will be further away from the glacier than tours that go to or around the visitors center. Fog can affect the view of the Mendenhall Glacier.

Meeting point and pickup

The operator picks every participant up from their accommodation or the points below.

Pickup points

We meet on the main cruise ship dock underneath a blue tent next to the Alaskan Public house (Alaskan Brewing Co.). On the other side of the tent there is a large parking garage with a mural painted on the side.

Please plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early so we can get everyone geared up and ready to go.
