You’ll be hard pressed to find a tour more delicious and uniquely Alaskan than the Gold Panning & Salmon Bake! Available daily with timings around lunch and dinner, the all-you-can-eat Alaskan salmon feast is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy Alaskan specialties, experience the history that made Juneau what it is today, and explore the lush rainforest that covers Southeast Alaska. As one of the best excursions in Juneau, the Gold Panning & Salmon bake is sure to delight the senses and imagination. Your knowledgeable prospector will show the ropes on Gold Creek, with various options for all mobility levels, so you are sure to be able to strike gold! And the delicious food at the salmon bake has options for everyone, even the picky eaters in your group who aren’t too sure about the salmon this tour is known for. So bring the whole family and get ready to enjoy a day or evening of Alaskan festivities!

Your Gold Panning & Salmon Bake will begin with a historic, narrated tour of Juneau, on your way to Gold Creek. Once there, your prospector, in full Alaskan character, will show you the ropes along the shore before setting you lose to strike gold of your own in the aptly named Gold Creek. There are seated and standing options, so the whole family can enjoy this portion of one of the best excursions in Juneau. From here head on over to your all-you-can-eat Alaskan feast, featuring foods ranging from salmon to chicken to delicious blueberry cake. You are sure to leave this tour with a full belly! And if you haven’t quite stuffed yourself silly, enjoy a s’more around the campfire as you listen to the live folk music that set the perfect atmosphere beneath the rainforest canopy. With shuttles running regularly, you can leave when you’re done, and no sooner on one of the most flexible and satisfying excursions in Juneau.
