SHORE EXCURSION INFORMATION
JUNEAU ALASKA SHORE EXCURSIONS &
TOURS
Juneau, the capital of Alaska, was founded during a gold
rush in 1880. Today, the former gold-mining town counts
among its riches some of Alaska's most spectacular scenery.
Nestled at the foot of Mt. Juneau in the Alaska Panhandle, it
faces the water from the mainland side of Gastineau
Channel. Several magnificent fjords are located along the
channel coast, and the majestic Mendenhall Glacier, a
favorite of visitors, is nearby.

Most cruise lines and private companies offer the same tours
with slight variations in prices and tour times.

Mendenhall Glacier & Salmon Hatchery
PRICE: ADULT: 46.00 / CHILD: 24.00 USD
DURATION: 2 Hours 30 Minutes Approx.

As you depart downtown Juneau on your way to the Macauley Salmon
Hatchery, your driver-guide will share the history of Juneau's gold rush
era and point out buildings of interest. Upon arriving at the hatchery you
will be greeted by a knowledgeable guide who will provide an
informative commentary on the life of the salmon and the hatchery's
role in salmon production. Inside the hatchery you will have the chance
to view museum quality displays detailing the hatchery's annual
production of over 150 million salmon and numerous aquariums
showcasing local marine wildlife. You may see adult spawning
salmon from July to September or have the chance to feed immature
salmon fry from May to early June.

After a quick transfer via motorcoach, you will be able to view one of
Mother Nature's most amazing treasures...the Mendenhall Glacier. The
glacier is 1.5 miles wide and hundreds of feet thick and is fed by the
1,500 square mile Juneau Icefield. This meandering river of
compressed ice ranks as the largest, most rugged glacier accessible
by road. The Mendenhall Glacier Visitors Center, along with U.S. Forest
Service staff, offers information on glaciers and is a vantage point for
breathtaking photographs of this world-famous glacier.

Glacier View Bike & Brew
PRICE: ADULT: 93.00 / CHILD: 53.00 USD

you'll be fitted with a bike and receive a safety briefing. 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 ridethrough 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

Four Glacier Adventure via Helicopter
PRICE: ADULT: 309.00 / CHILD: 309.00 USD
DURATION: 2 Hours Approx.
See four of Alaska's spectacular glaciers as your pilot flies over the ice
spires and pinnacles of the "cascading" Hole-in-the-Wall Glacier, the
"advancing" Taku Glacier, the "retreating" Norris glacier, and either the
floating Dead Branch glacier or the river-like East Twin Glacier. Land
on a remote glacier to step out and explore the ancient landscape with
your pilot as your guide. Peer down into a crevasse and look for a
glacial stream. On the return trip, watch for bears, mountain goats and
moose. Glacier boots are provided to wear over your shoes and flat
shoes are recommended. Please wear warm clothing and bring
your sunglasses. For security purposes, no bags are allowed on the
flight. Due to weight restrictions on board helicopters, all participants
must register their body weight at the time of booking. This is a
requirement of the helicopter companies to ensure guest safety and
comfort. Approximately 35-40 minutes flight time and 15-20 minutes on
the glacier.

Taku Glacier Lodge Flight & Feast
PRICE: ADULT: 274.00 / CHILD: 228.00 USD
DURATION: 3 Hours 30 Minutes Approx.
Fly in a nostalgic floatplane over five glaciers to an authentic
wilderness lodge for a King Salmon feast. Your adventure begins
the moment you take off from the Juneau waterfront near your ship's
berth. Everyone has a window seat allowing unrestricted views of five
glaciers of the Juneau Icefield, deep blue crevasses, snow-capped
mountains, cascading waterfalls and lush forests. The Taku River will
be your "runway" as you come in for a landing at the Historic Taku
Lodge. The Lodge is located directly across the river from the
Hole-In-The-Wall Glacier and set amid the Tongass National Forest.
The Lodge-cooked feast of baked beans, coleslaw, pioneer fruit
compote, fresh herb biscuits and sourdough bread complements the
grilled Wild Alaska King Salmon. Hot Russian tea, coffee, iced tea and
lemonade chilled with actual glacier ice and cookies complete the
meal. During your meal your host will share stories of Mary Joyce and
her famous dog sled trip that put Taku Lodge on the Alaska map. The
Lodge's unique interior is decorated with old dog sleds, hunting and
trapping gear, furs and skins. The aroma of salmon often attracts one
of the many famous Taku Lodge black bear in search of a tasty
morsel.

After your meal you may independently walk the well-maintained trails
of the old growth forest or relax with a beverage and soak in the
serenity of a place scarcely touched by time. On your flight back to
Juneau take in the views of waterfalls, mountains, glaciers and the
vast wilderness that surrounds you. Approximately 50 minutes flight
time.

early gold mines. Fly passed waterfalls and rain forests, over lakes
and winding river banks, enroute 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
