Overview
“The Blue Bus“ is a no frills direct express trip to the Mendenhall Glacier. The knowledgeable guides will narrate about historic Juneau, gold mining and wildlife on your drive to and from the Glacier. You choose when you want to go and you choose when you want to come back. We call that the Anytime Express. It allows you to stay an hour or eight hours if you choose to do so and take advantage of the trails, visitor Center, and wildlife viewing to the fullest extent.
Blue Bus runs to and from the Glacier every 30 minutes on all ship days.

Great way to get there. Very convenient bus there and back. Drivers gave some info on journeys. Good value book direct as cheaper than booking with cruise line

This was a great choice for a short visit in Juneau. The bus was easy to find and was a good experience for me with my young grandchildren. The path to the waterfall was flooded so that was sad but no ones fault. The movie in the welcome center was very good . The children enjoyed climbing on the rocks and splashing in puddles. The glacier was beautiful and we even had sun.

Booked the Blue Bus online. We were on an NCL Cruise which provided a shuttle from the dock to the Tram area were we met the Blue Bus. Look for orange hat fellow. Bring a print out of your email to verify your tickets purchased. Bus runs every 30 minutes. Restrooms are nearby. Our driver was funny and informative. Pointed out several bald eagles. Dropped us off a short walk from the glacier visitor center. We stayed at the glacier as long as we liked, walked back to the pick up point, and took the bus back to town. The driver on the return trip gave us the option to get off in town near The Red Dog Saloon (which we did - browsed and shopped as we walked back to the NCL shuttle pick up point). You can choose to stay on board and be dropped off at the Tram area.

The blue bus was the best way for us to spend time at the glacier. Both guides filled us in on the area on the trip. They were funny and well informed.

The Mendenhall glacier was an awe inspiring experience. Both drivers narrated beautifully their life experiences as Islanders and how Alaska has changed, all the while pointing out eagles, and places of interest.

Our guide was very informative and funny. If you use pay later, you will need to have wifi to get your confirmation.
