Great Ride
Matthew was great! He picked us up early and told us all about the different things on the way to the glacier - told us about all the good local places to shop/eat. He was right on time for pick up and it was great to not have to worry about missing a crowded bus to get back to our cruise ship.

Easy ride
We requested an accessible van for the ride from the cruise terminal to Mendenhall glacier. There was a miss-communication between the driver and the company so we did not have an accessible van for the ride up. They said they could bring an accessible van but we made it work. The van was accessible on the way back to the cruise terminal. The driver also showed us a couple of interesting areas along the route. Overall it all worked out and everyone was very accommodating.

Great tour, fun and informative
Fun and informative. A ride to the end of the road, passing by sightseeing stops of the glacier. Stop in the middle for a light hike through the forest, with a ton of interesting facts. My 12 year old and teenagers loved the entire time. Shout out to Phoenix and Kyler, great guides

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Roundtrip Transport to Mendenhall Glacier: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Juneau.
How much does Private Roundtrip Transport to Mendenhall Glacier cost?
+
Prices start at $420 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 Private Roundtrip Transport to Mendenhall Glacier take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Private Roundtrip Transport to Mendenhall Glacier worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 25 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 Private Roundtrip Transport to Mendenhall Glacier?
+
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 Private Roundtrip Transport to Mendenhall Glacier suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Roundtrip Transport to Mendenhall Glacier?
+
Around 9 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Roundtrip Transport to Mendenhall Glacier 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.
