Juneau in One Day: Mendenhall Glacier, Whale Watching and Salmon Bake

Want to see the best Juneau has to offer in one day? First, get an up-close look at the ice wall at Mendenhall Glacier. Then, board a jet boat for an exclusive whale-watching adventure! End your day with a delicious traditional salmon bake and taste the authentic flavors of Alaska.

Experience all that Juneau has to offer in one day! After pickup from your Juneau hotel, your guide will drive you to the ice wall at Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska’s approximately 12 mile (19 km) long massive glacier. Take in stunning views and soak up the picturesque mountain atmosphere.

Then, begin your whale-watching experience! Board a 48-passenger sightseeing boat and cruise along the beautiful Auke Bay. Your expert guide will give you an in-depth look at the surrounding sea life. Learn how more than 65 humpback whales migrate to the area each year! The extra-large windows and exterior observation deck make for excellent whale spotting.

End your day smelling the aromas and tasting the flavors of a traditional, all-you-can-eat Alaskan salmon bake. Menu items include grilled salmon, cheechako chicken, Chilkoot baked beans, Tongass wild-rice pilaf, White Pass pasta, salads, beverages, a robust selection of other side dishes and a delicious blueberry cake for desert. Beer and wine are available for purchase.

After your all-inclusive Juneau experience, enjoy a relaxing, scenic drive back to your hotel.
