Great Day!
We really enjoyed this tour! Take the mile easy walk to see Nugget Falls while visiting the glacier - it is gorgeous. The other stops were shorter and were all interesting, especially the church. We were lucky and saw a beautiful black bear just wandering around the parking lot when we pulled in there. Our guide, Pez, was fabulous. He saw that the line for the shuttle back to our ship was very long so he sought us out to drive us back to our ship. He was amazing!

Wonderful tour!!
This tour was AMAZING!! Our tour guide was absolutely the BEST!!! We were with a group of 16 so we were in 2 different cars. Both tour guides were so knowledgeable, friendly and extremely informative. They went out of their way to make sure we saw all of Juneau and explained everything to us along the way. All 16 of us had a blast! Can’t say enough good things about this tour.

A tour guide that went over the top with his service.
Pedz took us everywhere and was above and beyond! He knew where the best photo spots were and would even offer to take them for us. He even stopped at a grocery store so we could buy some cold medicine for our daughter then dropped us at a restaurant instead of back at the dock. A great tour guide and a great value.

Loved the glacier tour.
We were dropped at the glacier and hiked for an hour. Charlene was entertaining and full of local facts. Just what we signed up for.

Juneau with friends
Pedz was amazing from the picture of the tour van and supplying drinks and snacks to a informative day of all the Juneau sights and the Mendenhall Glacier well worth the 5 stars

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mendenhall Glacier & Juneau Highlights Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Juneau.
How much does Mendenhall Glacier & Juneau Highlights Small Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $200 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 Mendenhall Glacier & Juneau Highlights Small Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Mendenhall Glacier & Juneau Highlights Small Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 30 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 Mendenhall Glacier & Juneau Highlights Small Group Tour?
+
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 Mendenhall Glacier & Juneau Highlights Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mendenhall Glacier & Juneau Highlights Small Group Tour?
+
Around 11 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mendenhall Glacier & Juneau Highlights Small Group Tour 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.
