Beautiful, serene, breathtaking-these are just a few words to describe Alaska's capital city, Juneau. Nestled tightly between the Gulf of Alaska and British Columbia, Juneau boasts a rich history deeply rooted in Native American tradition and features the most expansive and magnificent natural landscapes in the entire country. There's simply so much to see and do in and around the city that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Shore Excursions of a Lifetime
Juneau offers a perfect blend of extreme and relaxing activities for any visitor. Get your adrenaline pumping by taking a helicopter tour, glacier trekking, dog sledding, or kayaking Mendenhall lake. Or, take in the sights by humpback whale watching, walking through the beautiful Tongass National Rainforest, or gold panning in historic Gold Creek and witness southeast Alaska's incredible beauty.
Book a combo Alaskan cruise excursion, like our ever-so-popular Extended Helicopter Ride and Dog Sledding Tour. Get the best of both worlds, flightseeing over the Juneau Icefield by helicopter and then mushing powerful huskies with local guides over the ancient snowfields.
Encounter Alaska's Wild Wonders
Inaccessible by any man-made road, Juneau is truly a haven for wildlife. Home to 280 different species of birds, five species of salmon, black and brown bears, and awe-inspiring humpback and orca whales, the city is undoubtedly a pinnacle of America's natural wonder.
Excursions like our Mendenhall Lake Canoe Adventure offer peak sightseeing as you paddle an Alaskan native-style canoe around Mendenhall Lake. Spot wildlife like arctic terns, bald eagles, and bears, then witness the 377-foot Nugget Falls cascading before the majestic Mendenhall Glacier. For a greater challenge, our 7-mile Mendenhall Glacier Trek takes you through Tongass National Forest to stunning views of the glacier, Nugget Falls, and surrounding peaks, with an 800-foot elevation gain through lush wilderness and exposed bedrock-perfect for thrill-seekers.
Explore Juneau's Historic Downtown
Experiencing downtown Juneau is a must-do for anyone visiting Alaska's capital and is simple to explore. Juneau's cruise ship port is located at the south end of the downtown area. You can also find an amazing food scene downtown where you can sample local specialties like fresh seafood, reindeer sausage, or wild berry jams.
Walk around the historic district to see well-preserved buildings from the city's gold rush era, and stop by the Juneau Visitor Center to learn about the region's history. You can also explore the surrounding art galleries and souvenir shops or enjoy the scenic views of the harbor and mountainscapes. Juneau is an enriching and enjoyable home base for weary travelers.
