.Wings Airways in Juneau offers two flights in float planes, both over seven glaciers, but the second one lands at Taku Lodge for a salmon bake lunch.

This. 
100% the best excursion I ever did.

And they sell out quickly. Just like the heli tours.

Yup, I agree with Kay S. When I was in Icy Strait, had a great show of whales bubbling feeding right next to the ship, several times. Got pictures to prove it.

If you can afford it, do the Dog Sled/Helicopter ride.  We loved it. We did it in Skagway.  Our Musher, Riley Dyche made the experience memorable.  He finished 18th in this years Iditarod.

Totally has my vote as one of the best excursions ever!  The views flying to the dog camp on the glacier were breathtaking and the dog camp was great fun.  It's one of the very few pictures taken on an excursion that I have framed.  Looking at it right now.

The White Pass Scenic Railway in Skagway is relaxing and beautiful. The Bering Sea Crab Fisherman’s Tour in Ketchikan is a thrill, and she can view it all while seated.
