The Top 10 Staff Pick Tours in Juneau

If you want to join a tried and tested excursion, then we recommend our Juneau staff pick tours. These are excursions personally recommended by Alaska Shore Tours staff so you can make the most of your time onshore in the Alaskan capital. 

You’ll find options such as the Mendenhall Glacier Paddle and Hike, a fantastic way to experience the great outdoors while breathing in the clear, cool air of the Alaskan wilderness. Paddle your way across Mendenhall Lake, taking in mini icebergs as they float serenely by, perhaps spotting bald eagles, porcupines, and otters too. Then, set out on a hike to the edge of the towering Mendenhall Glacier, admiring the otherworldly landscape.

If you want extensive airborne exploration in your Juneau tour, then the Helicopter Dogsledding with Extra Landing excursion could be ideal. This is one of our most all-encompassing helicopter tours - including two landings rather than the standard one - so you can inspect the rugged Herbert Glacier on the ground as well as from the air. You’ll meet your team of dog sledding huskies who’ll be itching to take you on a wild ride through this all-white and blue terrain, surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks.

If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable whale watching experience, check out our Private Whale Watching Tour. You and up to five of your chosen companions will enjoy an enthralling 3-hour boat tour led by local guides who know Juneau’s waters like the back of their hand. Catch sight of humpback and orca whales in their natural habitat as you glide through the water. There’s also an exclusive beach landing to enjoy, where you’ll learn all about native Alaskan birds, plants, and animals.

These Juneau staff pick tours are worth their weight in gold - all you need to do now is choose your favorite!
