LisaH Posted August 4, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2011 We did a ship excursion in Juneau to Mendenhall and Temsco was the vendor. It was great. Of course a clear sunny day helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted August 4, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I did the same excursion as the previous poster. Not only was it good but it was on the lower end of the cost spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmaster Posted August 4, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2011 There is one vendor in Skagway, TEMSCO, and I belive 3 in Juneau. IMHO they are all equally good, TEMSCO seems to be the most expensive of them all, their facilities in Skagway was first class. I personally don't think there is much of a difference between the three. The biggest decision is are you doing just the glacier landing, landing+dog sled, or trekking.

Budget Queen Posted August 6, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2011 There are 4 helicopter vendors who do tours in Juneau. I have flown with three of them. It makes absolutely NO difference where you land and each vendor, is long standing, running excellent tours. Pick the one who fits your time and budget best.

lutheralum Posted August 6, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I don't know if you are also going to Denali. We used a coupon out of Toursaver and went with Era Aviation - just outside the park entrance- and had a fabulous flight and glacier landing. The pilot even took scads of photos of us with various backgrounds while on the glacier. Worth every penny! lutheralum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
