LindaMG Posted August 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I am interested in a combination whale watch and Menendehall Glacier tour out of Juneau that I found on a booking website. I have been advised to book directly with the tour company but need to find out who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted August 4, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I am the one who sent you over here and this is the one tour that I don't know what company does it. It used to be that all whale watching tours would drop off at Mendenhall but that stopped years ago due to local changes with Mendenhall. Hopefully someone else can come up with this info.

Because my wife wanted to be on a larger boat, rather than about 12-14 passengers, we choose a combination Whale Watching and Mendenhall Glacier trip with this company -- https://www.juneauwhalewatch.com/ If you watch their web site, they will offer a discount in December - January.

Yep - and the picture of the boat in the tour matches that company. I didn't know which company did combo tours anymore. Glad others knew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We toured with Juneau Whale Watch on their Juneautours.com site and was very happy with it - did the whale watch followed by Mendenhall. Booked direct on their website and found a discount code that saved us a little kwan. Just be careful as Juneaushoretours is actually a tour aggregator.

LindaMG Posted August 8, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I contacted them nearly a week ago with a question. Never heard back so they have lost my business. Finding this to be a common theme in Alaska, no response to emails. I guess they don't need the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedevil72 Posted August 9, 2019 #9 Share Posted August 9, 2019 We did this tour through juneauwhalewatch last month and really enjoyed it. If I remember correctly there were 30-40 people on the boat. We did Mendenhall first before it got too crowded but by the time we left there were busses everywhere. The tour was $145 but we booked earlier this year and got a 15% discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had maybe 15-17 people on our boat. We also stayed on the water longer than we were supposed to but no complaints there! Didn't get to spend as long at Mendenhall as we wanted as the last JWW tour bus was leaving the park around 6-ish but we did get to spend a lot of time at Nugget Falls. We also got the 15% discount for booking early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shark&minnow Posted August 10, 2019 #11 Share Posted August 10, 2019 We are booked with alaska-whalewatching.com I found them through Trip Advisor and then booked directly on their website. It seems like our price was about $60 pp less then the cruise ship's similar excursion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
