The Top 19 Recreation Tours in Juneau

Juneau offers some of the best outdoor recreation activities around. Who could resist speeding along a zipline while taking in views of spectacular mountain peaks dusted in snow? Or, hiking through a lush rainforest and river-filled landscape? Could you be tempted to try mushing sled dogs as they race across the top of a glacier? These are just some of the awesome activities that await you when you visit Juneau.

For an unforgettable taste of Alaska, consider the Helicopter & Dogsled Glacier Excursion. Mushing is intrinsic to Alaskan culture - it’s the national sport too - so taking part in a dogsled ride will give you a real taste of Alaskan living. Combine that with a helicopter flight over the vivid blue glaciers of the Juneau Icefield and you’ve got the recipe for a fantastic day!

Ziplining has become a popular pastime in Alaska, and you can understand why with its varied and unique landscape. On an Alaska Zipline Tour, you’ll visit the Tongass National Park to speed your way over five ziplines through the canopy of trees, taking in spectacular mountain views from the Eaglescrest Ski area.

On the Alpine Wilderness Trail Adventure by Segway, fill your lungs with fresh air as you wind your segway along specially created Nordic ski trails through the forest. Listen out for the call of bald eagles, learn about the plants and flowers surrounding you, and perhaps even spot wild salmon jumping in the glacial rivers. 

This part of Alaska has more to see and do than you could possibly cram into one day. But choose any of these Juneau recreation tours and you’ll create memories of this little slice of Alaska that you’ll keep for years to come.
