    What you'll see and do

    1. Goldbelt Tram

      The Alaska Native Tour shares our worldview with distinct aspects of our Culture at each of our Totems. These monuments tell the backstory of how Nature influences both our People and our Culture. Cultural aspects include Oral Tradition, Ecological Knowledge, Social Practices, Music & Performance Arts, Artwork and Language. Nature’s influence includes Geology, Geography, Phenology, Ecology, Economics, Sustainability, and Biodiversity. Alaska Native Culture is organized wisdom, while the Science of Nature is organized knowledge. This tour is about how the two work hand in hand, to give us a higher sense of responsibility to our People, our Land and ourselves. The Goldbelt Tram is located just steps off the cruise ship dock. The tram makes a six-minute ascent up Mount Roberts from the lower terminal to a height of about 1,800 feet. A restaurant, theater, beer garden and retail shop are located at the top of the tramway, as well as connections to trails on the mountain.

    Check if Tram operational - closed for us

    Tram is closed down since 4/26 we found out. No one notified us until I called the day of our tour. Then we got refund.

    Tram and Ales canceled, just the walk around the port.

    Excellent guide, but unfortunately the tram wasn't working, so as we had nothing else arranged we settled for a one hour walk around the port with the guide. At 65 dollars each a bit expensive. It was interesting but disappointing. I understand we will get a refund of the tram and ales portion of the trip. I do think we should have been notified beforehand as the tram had been out of action for some weeks.

    Guide was extremely...

    Guide was extremely knowledgeable about Juneau and its people. The only negative was the weather as we did not get a good view from the tram due to the rain.

    Damen was a great guide. Excellent stories and very knowledgeable. Beer was top notch. Rain didn’t stop us from a wonderful tour.

    Just buy a tram ticket. Don't waste your money

    While I appreciate the cultural part of the experience. This was lack luster at best and not worth $150 (after taxes/fees) we literally stopped at 4 totem poles and were given a breif story. Our guide was nice but clearly nervous as his delivery was choppy. It was maybe 45 min at best. There is nothing about a seamless blend of outdoors and beer appreciation other than you are given a token at the beginning to take to the bar. Also the exhilarating trails are there, but they don't take you on them. You go on your own. As a solo traveler I was looking to join a hike with others since in bear country (we saw 2 black bears on the trail, but that was on my own hike). That did not happen. I made my own way and met up with new people on the trail. I could have gone with out the tour. Just buy the tram ticket and walk around on your own its only $45-$60. Depending on your ability you can stay close to the gift shop where there are more people or continue up the mountain for a more adventurous experience. My guide literally said, "normally I'll take people up to the cross, but I have a new tattoo and I shouldn't sweat 🫤 dissapointing overall.

    Trails and Ale Tour and Tram Combo: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Trails and Ale Tour and Tram Combo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $125 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 Trails and Ale Tour and Tram Combo take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 Trails and Ale Tour and Tram Combo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 68 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 Trails and Ale Tour and Tram Combo?

    +

    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 Trails and Ale Tour and Tram Combo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Trails and Ale Tour and Tram Combo?

    +

    Around 24 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Trails and Ale Tour and Tram Combo 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.
