Visitor center has an elevator to the 2nd floor that provides insight, views, and toilets. If in Juneau via a cruise ship you can access the park via both shore excursions and tour operators. No real complications on May 5, on that clear dry day, though 5 cruise ships were in port making the park entrance busy with both tourists and transports. It was a nice way to see a glacier, but the initial park area was crowded, so do not expect to escape from the bustle of tourists unless you explore deeper into the park.

Extraordinary! If you are in Juneau or coming into port from a cruise, you need to come here! I…read moreactually went at the end of April. It was raining, but just bring an umbrella! EXPERIENCE: You must do the Nugget Falls trail. It's flat, easy, and takes you to the waterfall in less than a mile. The waterfall is stunning. You will be very close to the glacier from there! The trail itself is a fairy tale. Greenery, ferns, moss, rocks, and small waterfalls surround you. You will want to stop and take pictures of everything! OVERALL: This is almost an emotional experience. I want to go back one day and I'm so grateful I was able to experience it.

From MENDENHALL GLACIER to CRUISE port…read more Just wanted to share my story here is the pointers to get the quick over view: -Cheaper than the "bus tour" -May be cheaper than Lyft -Convenient -Courteous -Call ahead to see if they have a vehicle that fits everyone in your party -The taxi can pick you up in the parking lot nearest to the visitor center. Lyft has a designated pick up and drop off that is farther away. People the Taxi might be Cheaper!! Used the taxi from Mendenhall Glacier to our cruise. I checked on Lyft and it would have cost $78 (around 5 pm) for our party of 6. I called Juneau Taxi and the person speaking to me was kind, patient and informative. I asked if she could give me a quote for two stops and suggestions for a place to buy heels. Then I asked how long it would take for a taxi to get to us. I saw a taxi and told her I would call back if he was waiting for someone. As I was approaching his van another group came up to him. Thankfully the operator I was talking to earlier radio someone to drive over just in case. Carlita (taxi driver) was waiting for us :) as I was approaching her she asked if I was Kimberly. Just before we got into the taxi a man approached our driver and asked how much it cost to get back to the ship and she quoted give or take $45. We had 6 people in our party and we comfortably fit in to the van. He got charged $70 PER PERSON!!!! He was sitting with other people he didn't know and waiting for the bus. I forgot to pack my heels for formal night. Carlita had a suggestion to buy heels and asked over the radio where we should go. Someone over the radio suggested Alaskan Dames Consignment. Omg, this store had so many cute well taken care of items. The heels that I bought looked like it never had been worn. I had to will my self not to go crazy and only buy what I came for. This impromptu stop cost $5. In total it cost us $50. Carlita asked us if we finished shopping and suggested Alaska T-shirt's. It was a good suggestion because it was near the cruise ship and offered a variety of items. Overall it was worth it for us. This was our second time coming to Mendenhall Glacier. First time we use a bus shuttle to and back. We booked it when we got off the ship. This time we used the public bus $2 each person to get there over a mile walk from port to bus stop. When you get to the bus stop it's over a mile walk to get to the visitor center.

Dispatch sent a car that wouldn't fit our group and then was rude about it. Wouldn't use them again.read more

I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. It's a man-made attraction designed for cruise ship tourism in…read morethe town of Hoonah. It was built by the Huna Totem Corporation to benefit the Tlinget community (which is great). It was built on the site that was once the Hoonah Cannery which was bought by the Icy Strait Salmon Company. It operated as a salmon cannery & fishery, even after the city burned to the ground in 1944. You'll learn about it as you take the complimentary green gondola cars to the cannery that houses a museum, gift shop, and restaurant. You can also take the trail to the cannery. With that said, Icy Strait Point was our least favorite port of call. They offer many wildlife tours, a very high zipline for adventure seekers, and trails that can be accessed via the SkyGlider. We were driven to the Spasski River Valley to take a trail with a total of 3 observation platforms. We saw a Sitka black-tailed deer, and some actual bear scat (and not to be confused with the boozy shot I had in Ketchikan). I'm just putting that one out there for my fellow Yelpers who don't believe that the bears are really there. Yes, be careful not to step in it on the trail. That silly bear. We also heard a red squirrel barking at us from a tree. We learned about the vegetation such as skunk cabbage and spruce tip. The spruce tip actually tasted pretty good. We saw a bald eagle's nest on the way back into town. So, what didn't I like? It's just not as organized as other ports in Alaska. The facilities weren't as good. You're dropped off at the cannery to shop & eat instead of back to the Departure Den. I should have known they wouldn't take us back there just by the name of the building. We had to take the gondola back to the ship. I get it. It's a way to support the local economy. My husband was desperate to get back to the ship. He saw a whale off of our balcony before we left. What was cool is that I got to see one off in the distance later that afternoon. There were also sea lions frolicking around the ship. So, we did get back in time. Let's just say that I loved the nature aspect of it all. I could have done without the touristy part of it.
