Juneau - Salmon Bake on our own?

[Marie-Claude]

Hi all and thanks for providing so much great feedback on your experiences in Alaska! This makes our trip planning so much more fun!

 

My question:

We were looking at a Princess excursion that combined Mendenhall glacier and the Salmon Bake.

After researching, I think we'll take the bus to Mendenhall, which wil allow us more time to spend at the visitor's center.

I'd still like to go the the Salmon Bake - how easy would it be to do on our own?? Can we catch a bus from downtown, or directly from Mendenhall??

Any information on how to get there, and the cost of the salmon bake would be great!

Thanks!

If you want the shuttle to/from Mendenhall. Then pick up the salmon bake bus back downtown. Makes continous loops. This would give you the most flexability for your touring.

I have booked a group with MGT for the exact tour. It also includes a city tour before going out to the glacier. So far, they have been great to deal with.

Thanks for this great info.

 

ajdegumbia: I'm assuming tha MGT is the same tour referred to by Parrothead8 - mightygreattours.com??

 

Budget Queen: Can you tell my how much the bus and salmon bake would cost if we do it on our own? Thanks in advance for your great advice!!

The salmon bake that Parrothead8 is talking about... are reservations required or can we just hook up with one on the pier when we're back from whale watching tour and seeing the Mendenhall Glacier o our own. We really can't pre-book a salmon bake because we won't know until we've done everything else, what our timing will be...

There are buses near the pier that run back and forth all day long(according to what I have read on here).............so you can just catch one when you are ready...

No reservations needed for the Gold Creek Salmon bake bus.
