Juneau Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

The glacier is an amazing sight. Highly recommended. The driver was waiting at the cruise port when we got off the ship. Very easy to find. Organised. Staff friendly. Joey was a breath of fresh air. Thankyou.

Incredibly friendly and informative guides and we got to experience lots of whales bubble net feeding

This was a fabulous experience! The crew was very knowledgeable and took great care of me since I have a handicapping condition. One guide (I can't remember his name) took special care of me, allowing me to walk holding his arm so I wouldn't fall while the boat was in motion. He cleared special seating for me so I could see the whales from an optimal spot. We saw many whales as well as a sea otter and sea lions. This was a great excursion and I highly recommend it! It was one of my favorite experiences and the crew made it even more special and memorable!

Amazing. Probably my favorite excursion of the trip. Crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and took us right to the whales. The three hour tour flew by. 11/10 would definitely recommend.

Amazing experience! Family ran tour company and we had the best time! Saw the mines, found gold and will definitely book again next time we are in Juneau!

Our driver Kenny was amazing and kept us entertained and also and good knowledge of Juneau.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Yoel from Capital City Tours in Juneau, Alaska! From the moment we met him, he was incredibly friendly, kind, polite, and professional. He made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our entire experience. Yoel is extremely knowledgeable about Juneau and its history. He shared so many interesting stories and details about the city that made our visit much more meaningful and enjoyable. It was clear that he takes great pride in his work and genuinely loves sharing the history and beauty of Juneau with visitors. What made the experience even more special was how personable Yoel was. He even introduced us to his wife, and it was wonderful to see how warm and friendly they both were. That personal touch made us feel less like tourists and more like welcomed guests. We highly recommend Yoel and Capital City Tours to anyone visiting Juneau. If you want someone who is knowledgeable, professional, respectful, and genuinely friendly, Yoel is the person to ask for. He helped make our time in Juneau truly memorable, and we are very grateful for his hospitality! Thank you, Yoel, for such a wonderful experience. We will remember your kindness and the stories you shared with us for a long time!

Capt Justin was fantastic. Naturalists Ash & Claire we awesome. They were just as excited as all of us to see orcas, humpbacks and stellar sea lions. Captain called it the tri-fecta! We booked direct from them right on the cruise pier. We would recommend this tour 100%.

Kenny was amazing! Kept us entertained and we really enjoyed the tour!

Nugget falls were definitely worth the walk. The glacier is always amazing. Thanks for the opportunity!

Our guide for this tour had worked in the mines for over 35 years. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping to make sure everyone was safe and able to see everything. Panning for gold was fun and there were people there to help out!

My husband and I booked this tour when we got to downtown. Our driver, Alicia was amazing, friendly and most importantly got us back to our cruise ship on time. She threw in a few fun facts about the town on the way up to the visor center. On our way back she offered to drop us off directly at where our cruise ship was docked, which was the furthest away. Because of that we got to avoid the wait for the shuttle bus with the cruise line and stopped us from becoming bear bait by walking back 1.4 miles, again. Thank you Alicia for the experience! If you ever get a chance to use M&M tours, I hope you get Alicia as the bus driver.

My family and I had a great experience with the sled dogs in Juneau. You can tell that the people and dogs all enjoy what they do, everyone is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Getting to meet Grayson was a highlight of this trip, he was really fun to talk to about his experience running the Iditarod.

Our tour guide was great. He provided lots of interesting information. The tour provided the perfect amount of time for a group of nine with 2 small children to enjoy the glacier and waterfall. Due to the rain, I wish there had been more than a small covered area to wait for the trolley at the end of the excursion. We had to stand in the rain because there was no covered space available. We had a longer wait than expected because the trolley was running late to the pick up spot, for reasons out of the guide’s control.

This excursion, while not part of a cruiseline experience was phenomenal and well worth it. It starts with a short walk to the Gold line Tram building. You want to be underneath of the wires on the parking lot side of the building and find thepeople holding a blue sign with yellow letters that say dolphin jet boat tours. You then take a short bus ride to a harbor. They load you up on a jet boat which for the ride out there is fully enclosed. Super comfortable. Couple of bumpsdeom waves. there's a naturalist on board telling you lots of different things about the area. The island that your circumnavigating whales and other Marine animals. I was really surprised about how well the other captains on board worked together to find the best whales to make the experience as good as it can be for the people on board the boats. When we do find whales they open up the hatches and allow folks to go outside and review the wildlife. At the end of the tour everybody comes back inside. We zip right back to the harbor. Then we board back on the bus. Then they take us over to the MendenHall glacier visitor center and we go and visit that location. The Mendenhall glacier as quickly melting and receding, so we were lucky to see it in our lifetime. Did I mention hot chocolate and coffee and snacks on the boat?

We needed to arrange transportation to a couple of locations on our way to hotel. Transportation went as requested. Nice, polite driver. We were met in the baggage claim area.
