Thirty years ago, when I first stepped off the ferry and saw downtown Juneau, I felt like I was stepping back in time. Today a lot of that feeling still remains. Because much of downtown Juneau is a National Historic District, Juneau is an interesting and charming mix of history and modernity” —Becky Bear |
Tour Juneau in the comfort of your own private vehicle. Avoid the crowds of a bus based herd tour. |
Come join us for a Juneau tour in one of our
comfortable vehicles. Your driver is a long-time Juneau resident, knowledgeable
about Juneau, her history and attractions. We’ll take a tour of the downtown
historic section, while your guide regales you with stories of old Juneau. |
2.5 miles from downtown we’ll stop at the Macaulay Salmon Hatchery, which provides amazing views of the spectacle of salmon migration, (mid-June through
September) and a fascinating look at hatchery operations (always). Inside
the facility you’ll find museum-like interpretive displays, beautiful saltwater
aquariums, and a mini-market place-The Salmon Shop, featuring local salmon products
and novelties. Then it’s out to the giant ice cube, Juneau’s drive-up Mendenhall Glacier, the most visited attraction in Alaska . Walk out to the waterfall, visit the interpretive center or just feast your eyes on Nature’s wonder. Our last stop will be on Douglas Island where you can get a picture perfect shot of your cruise ship with Juneau in the background. (There’s a reason Juneau is called the most beautiful state capital in America.) Then it’s back to your cruise ship, or maybe you’d prefer to stop at the Alaska State Museum (it’s wonderful), or the “world famous” Red Dog Saloon.Would you prefer to shop your way down Franklin Street? It’s your choice. We’ll drop you where you want. Would you like a more in-depth tour of Juneau? Check out these additions to our basic tour |
Travel up Basin Road to the Last Chance Basin where Joe
Juneau and Richard Harris found the gold that lead to the first Alaska Gold Rush
and the founding of Juneau. (This is one of a few places we'll take you
that the big tour buses can't go.) |
