Juneau was nice and offered the standard tourist gifts and souvenirs. We visited the Mendenhall Glacier visitor center. I recommend making the trip to the visitor center. There are trails to hike which include the possibility of seeing wildlife. We bought a $45 ticket which included round-trip transportation to/from the visitor center. We bought the ticket from a local tour operator (Juneau Tours, I think) which would not be our choice next time. They use old school buses which apparently were not cooled (yes, it gets warm in September in Juneau on a crowded school bus). The tickets for two of us ($90) included the $5 visitor center fee; I would suggest considering a local taxi. On the return trip, about 12 - 16 people were left standing on the overcrowded bus. In my opinion, one should not need to stand after spending $45 for a 12 mile round trip ride on an old school bus. We took the Mt Roberts tram to the top and hiked some of the trails which included scenic views and photo opportunities.

Juneau is beautiful! We chose a helicopter ride with a glacier landing and walking about. We chose to use coastal helicopters. It was a great choice. We also did a canoe ride to the Mendenhall glacier and nugget waterfalls. So great!

Lots souvenirs. Tour guide, Tara, lots of info, funny and nice. Mendenhall glacier actually sad receding so fast. In 30 yrs you won't be able to see it from that spot any more. Tram very disappointing. Waste of time, long lines.

Best port of all for us. Great excursion with Tongass forest hike and whale watching. We had the best tour guide in Griffin Bailey and Captain Jen. Very knowledgeable and great photo tips. Would highly recommend. Got to see whales, porpoise, harbor seals, sea lions and bald eagles!!

We did the helicopter to Herbert Glacier dog sled tour. It was cloudy and raining on the glacier so always take a waterproof jacket. It seemed like we were in a different country surrounded by all the snow. The dogs were happy and enjoyed pulling us around. We got to hold the puppies before our fight back into town. We ate at Tracy’s King Crab Shack, walked through the shops and rode the tram up the mountain before heading back to the ship.
