3 1/4 hour
|
$459 Adult / $459 Child
|
|
Enjoy a combination of Alaska's most highly desirable activities - helicopter flightseeing, a glacier landing, and a dog sled ride! Fly over the massive Juneau Icefield and see up close the advancing Taku Glacier, cascading Hole-in-the-Wall Glacier, mysterious, floating Dead Branch Glacier, and land on the Norris Glacier, home of the exclusive dog mushing camp. The highlight of your tour is a visit to the dog sled camp, as your guide takes you on a dog sled ride over the snow-covered glacier and tells you about the 1,000-mile Iditarod Race from Anchorage to Nome. Continue on your flightseeing trip as you soar over the glacial landscape. Watch for bears, mountain goats, and moose below.
NOTES:
Bring sunglasses and dress warmly. Glacier boots are provided. Guests weighing more than 250 lbs will pay an additional surcharge of 50% over the published fare. Time spent on the glacier is approximate and may vary due to weather and glacial conditions.

Juneau City Tour & Mendenhall Glacier
|
3 hours
|
$39 Adult $20 Child
|
|
This tour offers an excellent overview of the state's capital city and its scenic attractions, including the Mendenhall Glacier. Depart the pier by motorcoach for a guided tour through Juneau's picturesque downtown and past the Capitol building on the way out of town. View the mighty Mendenhall Glacier, a river of ice with rugged crevasses and a distinctive blue color, which appears deceptively close because of its immense size. At the U.S. Forest Service Visitor Center, take in the glaciology exhibits or listen to an interpretive talk with a Forest Service Ranger. A short walk along a nature trail brings you to within one mile of the face of the glacier.
You'll also drive past the University of Alaska's southeast campus, Auke Lake and to Juneau's Macaulay Salmon Hatchery which offers interpretive displays on the lifecycle of salmon and different hatchery operations. Salt water aquariums enable close-up viewing of live adult salmon and over 100 other species of Alaskan marine life.
NOTES:
This tour operates under a Special Use Permit issued by the US Forest Service.
