we are going to do the blue bus when we get off the ship. I really wanted to do the public transportation but we get into port at 1 pm and they finish service at 5pm and they only drop you off at the entrance and you have to walk 2.4 km to get to the visitor center as well as can take an hr to get there.

There was a car rental in one of the hotels, walking distance from where the cruise ship was docked, we were able to drive to Mendenhall plus drive and see other sites in the area, was nice to have full control of site seeing for the day.

Definitely not the best, but many take the public bus. Like some of the others, it's going to drop you aways off and you'll need to hotfoot over the park

last May we got off the ship and paid for The Big Bus bus. It was perfect. I struggled with how to get there. It was a great decision. As far as the tram. Make sure it's not foggy or you won't see anything. At the top when you get off the tram go to the left and up slight hill tmThere are blue rocks and trees that are hundred of years old. Views are killer.

rides shares, and taxis are not an option for the glacier. Need a pass so they drop you at the road just outside. adds an extra 30 mins each way....

Check out the big blue bus….

We rented a Turo. For four people, that was much cheaper than the Blue bus and we had it all day to see all the other sites also.
