This Juneau small-group shore excursion combines Mendenhall Glacier viewing from Brotherhood Bridge, amazing scenic kayaking and wildlife viewing, and a guided hike into one flexible, cruise-friendly adventure. Perfect for cruise ship passengers, families, and adventure seekers, it offers a more personal and active alternative to crowded tours, with knowledgeable local guides who live in Juneau, small groups, hearty snacks, round-trip dock transportation, and a guaranteed return to your ship on time.
This Private group tour combines glacier viewing, kayaking, and hiking for guests who want more than a standard sightseeing trip. Your experience begins with transportation from the cruise ship docks. First, enjoy a scenic stop at Brotherhood Bridge, where you’ll take in beautiful views of Mendenhall Glacier and the surrounding landscape. Next, head to Amalga Harbor for approximately 2 hours of guided kayaking. Paddle with experienced local Juneau guides through scenic coastal waters while taking in Alaska’s dramatic geography. Depending on conditions, you may spot wildlife along the way and enjoy the peaceful beauty that makes this area so special. After kayaking, continue on a guided 1-hour hike. The hiking location is chosen based on current weather, trail conditions, and the interests and physical ability of the group. This flexible approach allows your guides to create the best experience possible for the day. With a maximum of 12 guests, this tour offers a more personal and relaxed experience than larger group excursions. Private tours may also be available. Designed for all ages and abilities.
