The Top 13 Sightseeing Tours in Juneau

Sightseeing in the Juneau area is a no-brainer, as the whole region is insanely beautiful! To see the best of the best, join one of our Juneau sightseeing tours - that way, you’ll know you’re making the most of your time onshore. There are a variety of tours to choose from, whatever your interest. Soar over the icefield in a helicopter, paddle across a glacier lake, or see Juneau’s famous humpback whales - the difficulty is knowing which tour to choose!

On the Icefield Helicopter Excursion, you’ll take to the air for an exhilarating helicopter flight across the 1,500 square miles of the Juneau Icefield. Follow that with a gentle landing on Herbert Glacier and an exciting guided glacier hike - days don’t come much better than this!

If you want to combine whale sightings with glacier spotting, then the Whale Watching & Mendenhall Glacier Tour will be right up your alley. Take a 2-hour boating adventure with an expert captain who’s well-versed in locating pods of humpback whales. Then, visit the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor’s Center for great views of this most famous of Juneau’s glaciers, along with the chance to visit the cascading waters of Nugget Falls. 

For a more sedate Juneau sightseeing experience, we recommend the Glacier Shuttle Tour. This fun trip combines a Juneau city tour - where you’ll hear all about Juneau’s larger than life characters and events - with a visit to the Mendenhall Glacier National Park, where you’ll enjoy unbelievable views towards the 13.5-mile-long glacier.

Have any tours piqued your interest? Juneau sightseeing tours can sell out quickly, so if anything has caught your eye, we recommend booking as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
