Juneau Shore Excursion: Whale-Watching Cruise and Glacier Flight

This 5-hour shore excursion from Juneau covers the perfect duo of Alaskan attractions: whale-watching and a scenic flight over the glaciers of the Juneau Icefield.  You'll board a comfortable vessel equipped with heated cabin and bathroom for the whale-watching cruise and travel aboard a light aircraft for an air tour of the glaciers. Tour Alaska from sea and air!

When your ship docks in Juneau, explore southeast Alaska's expansive, breathtaking wilderness from land and air. On this combination shore excursion, catch a glimpse of whales that frequent the area from the decks of a boat and capture fantastic views of glaciers from your seat on an aircraft. Enjoy lunch, personalized service and a knowledgeable guide on this outdoor adventure.

Whale-Watching
Begin your shore excursion with a 2.5-hour whale-watching and nature tour. From the decks of the vessel, you'll have the opportunity to spot a variety of local wildlife, including humpback whales, sea lions, Dall's porpoises, harbor seals, orca whales, bald eagles and shorebirds. While on the trip, you will enjoy a delicious boxed lunch.

Flight-seeing
After the whale-watching cruise, you'll be transported to the local airport to enjoy a 30-minute flight-seeing tour. From your position in the aircraft, gaze down on the Inside Passage and the Juneau Icefield. You'll see many different landmarks, including Admiralty Island, Point Retreat Lighthouse, Funter Bay, Icy Strait, Lynn Canal, Herbert Glacier, Eagle Glacier, Mendenhall Glacier and dogsled camps, and Auke Bay.
