    About this experience

    Discover Alaska through glacier views, rainforest trails, coastal scenery, mindfulness, and local flavors on this unforgettable experience in Southeast Alaska. Your journey begins with breathtaking views of the Mendenhall Glacier and surrounding mountains before heading into the heart of the rainforest. Along the trail, your guide will share stories of the land, Indigenous traditions, native plants, traditional harvesting practices, and depending on the season, even wild blueberries along the forest path. Beneath towering Sitka spruce and hemlock trees, you’ll slow down and experience Alaska through all your senses before arriving at the beach for a peaceful guided mindfulness meditation surrounded by the sounds of waves, birds, and ocean breeze. After your time in nature, enjoy a delicious meal prepared by a local chef featuring locally sourced salmon chowder and fresh seasonal salad inspired by Alaska’s coastal bounty.

    Unbelievable tour - two thumbs up!!

    This tour exceeded my expectations. Cindee was personable and knowledgeable. The weather was incredible and made for an awesome walk. The mindfulness portion on the beach was so calming. The dinner was fantastic. (smoked salmon soup and field greens with cranberries, feta cheese and a vinaigrette with a blueberry mojito). This is a perfect tour for folks on cruise ships. We finished up around 4pm. It’s rare that I want to hug a tour guide at the end of a tour - but I left feeling that I had made a friend. Thanks so much!

    Take a breath in the rainforest

    The tour was amazing. The rainforest is an amazing place and Cindee is very knowledgeable about the plants an the wildlife. The beach she guided us to was magical with a beautiful view. The ideal place to ground yourself, be connected with nature, calm down, relax and breathe. Back in town, she treated us to a lovely lunch in the Crystal, where Ivan, the chef prepared a wonderful vegan dish just for us. We totally recommend this experience.

    Breath of Fresh Air

    As a local I am always looking for unique experiences to share with family and friends when they visit Juneau. The Mindfulness in the Wilderness tour at Breathe Alaska offers a truly SE Alaskan experience that allows you to truly slow down and enjoy the natural world around you. The hike to the beach through the Tongass National Forest ends in breathtaking beach views with islands and mountains dotting the background; allowing you to immerse yourself in the moment. On my trip with Cindee we were even lucky enough to hear a bald eagle as we settled into our chairs. The natural beauty is the perfect backdrop for the guided meditation and breath work. Breathe Alaska provides an opportunity to disconnect with the outside world and reconnect with the self. The breathing technique was easy and felt natural. Cindee’s coaching allows you to connect with your breath in such a way that you are able to use the technique when you need it most…when you return to your busy life. If you are looking for a way to connect or relax Breathe Alaska’s Mindfulness in the Wildness tour has it all from the guided mediations, the sights and sounds on the beach to the dinner menu few other tours offer such an authentic SE Alaskan experience.

    Alaska Forest & Feast: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Juneau.

    How much does Alaska Forest & Feast cost?

    +

    Prices start at $198 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Juneau usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Alaska Forest & Feast take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Juneau is not rushed.

    Is Alaska Forest & Feast worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Juneau, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Alaska Forest & Feast?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Alaska Forest & Feast suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Alaska Forest & Feast?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Juneau can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Juneau and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Alaska Forest & Feast start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Juneau within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Juneau?

    +

    Juneau runs Mendenhall Glacier trips, whale watching in Auke Bay, helicopter glacier landings with dog sledding, and rainforest hikes. Most tours are timed to cruise ship windows, so we weight clear duration and pickup detail. On Outty we rank every Juneau experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Juneau Wildlife Whale Watching, Juneau Wildlife Whale Watching & Mendenhall Glacier, Whales and Wilderness Exploration. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Juneau?

    +

    May to September, peaking for humpbacks in June and July. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Juneau?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
