Spend the day in Glacier Bay National Park!
If you’re traveling in Southeast Alaska, you M-U-S-T see Glacier Bay National Park. It’s about 60 miles from Juneau–and it takes some planning to get there. There’s plenty of ice to go around, as this photo shows!
Right now there’s a new package available from Juneau, Skagway or Haines. It includes roundtrip air fare to/from Gustavus, airport transfers to the cruise dock at Bartlett Cove and a full-day Glacier Bay cruise (whoo-boy!).
I’ve taken the cruise. Here’s a photo of a humpback whale:
Watch for bear (brown and black), eagles (lots of ‘em), puffins, sea lions, seals, sea otters…oh….did I mention the glaciers? The captain and the park ranger know which glaciers are really active–and they cruise up close! It’s really a great trip.
Cost from Juneau is $242 per person. Again–this is a great cruise deal. Check the site right now, or call (888) 229-8687.
Hi Scott
I just read your blog on cruises in Alaska and I cannot find the price of 242 per person anywhere including airfare from Juneau. I found the price on the website (but I haven’t called as yet) and the price for the 8 hr cruise was $181.00 per person. We will be staying 3 nights in Juneau and I haven’t found anything with a price from Juneau including the cruise for 242.00.
Would love to hear back from you on how you arranged this. Perhaps I am just looking in the wrong areas…I am visiting Alaska on August 16 and as I said will be in Juneau for 3 days. Any other info you may have on tours that were great would also be welcomed. Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks
Jenny
