Juneau- excursions

[lskdjcar]

We are cruising in June and want to do the Mendenhall Glacier, downtown and brewery and hatchery if open. Didn't see an excursion with these features. Would the Glacier taxi and tours be worth it at $70 an hour? How could we find others that may be in Juneau that day to split the cost? There are two of us and we will be there June 26th.

How long are you in port? What time of day vs. when those attractions are open? Consider drive time between the places, the order, and how long you are likely to spend there. Renting a car is a popular option for folks who have more than one or two stops in mind and/or have more than 2 people in their group as it adds flexibility and will be way cheaper than a cab, but it does eat a bit of time to pick up & return. Check on your Roll Call for folks to split a cab or rental with.

 

We walked to town (which took awhile from the AJ dock coming in on the Pearl), took the Mt Roberts Tram, looked around, shopped at the Alaskan Brewing Co store, took their shuttle (runs on the :40 for $22ish/person including the brewery "tour") to the brewery, and had dinner. That took nearly all our 8 hour port time. (we had done Mendenhall our previous trip)

We were going to wait on tram depending on weather. Sounds like we can't do it all. Do you recommend shuttles to glacier then come back to dock and see what else we have time for?

You could combine these two tours if you didn't want to rent a car
