    Inside the restaurant. You place your order at the bar.

    Sorry, just did it and have to say it was a bit disappointing. The view is great the Restaraunt is nothing but a snack shack. The service was almost not there.... Had to wait almost 5 min for someone one to come to the bar then we had to clear our own table to sit down. Walk up to order an and find a seat. Nothing like the photos/advertising. If you're a big hiker this might be the place for sure.

    Famous Tram located in downtown Juneau. The tram is very close to the cruise docks and an easy walk. Tickets are pretty pricey, but we booked through a cruise ship excursion where this was the last stop. We waited about 30 minutes on a busy Sunday evening to get on the tram. It was about a five minute ride up. Once you are up, there is a very large gift shop, restaurant/bar, and observation deck. There are also totem poles in the forest. It was equally about a 30 minute wait to get down. Just be mindful of your cruise ship departure if you are on a cruise. The views are absolutely gorgeous and the history of the tram is pretty cool.

    I've been on many trams in various countries and this tram is a nice tram ride. Unfortunately the day we went there was over an hour wait line. The ride itself was fine, it was one of the more smooth trams I've been on, but it was also the shortest in length. The only issue I really had was that they packed so many people in the tram, it was hard to even lift your arms with your phone to take any pictures. It was just too crowded, even for that short ride. The staff were all friendly. The shop at the top was small but had nice and unique items. I think the price of the tram is kind of expensive, I personally would not do it again.

    This attraction isn't worth the hype. Max and I paid for the ride through the cruise ship. You are packed in like sardines. The height from the top of the line isn't worth what you get to see. You stay at the top for about a minute and descend back to earth.

    My wife and I had some credit for our cruise so we used some of it to pay for the tram. It was a cool experience. It is very close to where our cruise ship was docked. You get your ticket and go and wait in line to go up on the tram. The views are gorgeous! A must if you're in Juneau!

    We were gonna try to experience the Tram but the line was extremely long. Pretty pricey . We were gonna purchase online beforehand but the description of ride was not exciting.

    Absolutely beautiful views but the cost does not match the value, in my opinion. While on a cruisestop in Juneau (Sept 2024), I had a chunk of time available after a previous excursion and decided to try the Goldbelt Tram solo. Firstly, the entrance area and all the way up to the mountain are a seamless process. Staff are very knowledgeable and able to assist you from general information to safety. I also enjoyed reading the posters along the walls on the ground level, which detailed how the tram came about, very interesting! It costs about $55 and the ride is only a few minutes, but you get such awesome views of Juneau. Upon arriving up at the top, you'll find that activities are somewhat limited. There are some lookout areas that offer beautiful and scenic backdrops for photos or a relaxing view. There's also a restaurant, souvenir shop, and a theatre. Given all the food and souvenir shops along the main road, it felt a bit redundant but I guess its to promote an experience. I did however, decide to sit in the theatre to catch a quick movie called, "Seeing Daylight". It's about 20 minutes and discussed a specific group of natives in Alaska. Very interesting but outdated, it seemed like something from the mid-90s. With all of the technology available and research into native populations, I think it's well overdue that they offer something more recent. After the movie, my visit was pretty much complete. Returning to the main street was an easy process however, I did feel concerned with how tight we were packed into the tram. Nonetheless, the views coming down were even better than going up. Staff were just as kind and maintained professionalism throughout the ride. Overall, it's a nice ride but I just don't think the price matched the value for me. I would've liked maybe a quick tour or some sort of guidance on its significance aside from the aforementioned posters on the wall. Maybe even a paint and sip activity would've been nice. If you are someone who truly enjoys scenic view experiences, then I think you might enjoy it as you can pretty much get the views, food, souvenirs, and some historical context in one. I personally would not return but it was nice to say I did it.

    Beautiful views and good experience. However, the price was pretty pricy at $60/adult. On the way up, they played an recorded message. We couldn't hear a darn thing because there was a guided tour also on board the the staff member was giving his own speech. I thought that was very poorly planned and annoying too. As for the way down, there is a huge traffic jam and you probably have to wait over an hour to get back down. So plan accordingly. Specially if you need to board your cruise ship by a specific time.

    I love a good tram ride! This is a cute tram ride in Juneau. Not super long and the mountain isn't super tall but it is a nice quick ride. A lot less nerve wracking than Switzerland or Italy. It also doesn't swing like the one in Palm Springs. The queuing line goes by fairly quickly. The cost isn't bad. We ended up purchasing through NCL and it was easy. No need to wait in line to redeem which saved a little time. The ride up was smooth and once we got up to the top and there was a nice little restaurant, souvenir shop, and then you could go outside and see carving done in front of you, there are hiking trails and plenty of area to explore. It is very pretty. The line to go down didn't take long at all, maybe 15 minutes or so. It was nice and cool the day we were there so it wasn't a bad wait at all. I liked that the starting point is right in the drop off area and easy to get to. Close to everything. I would go ahead for sure.

    The stars were clearly aligned today for a visit to the tram, as it was a beautiful day in Juneau. I bought a ticket and had a very short wait for a tram both directions. The trail at the top was lovely, with some beautiful totem poles along the way up to spectacular views. After the walk, I watched the informative film on Tlingit history and culture, which is worth the 25 minutes viewing time. The gift shop was the usual tourist stuff and pretty uninspiring, which was a missed opportunity to share more native products beyond a few pieces of art they had. I had to take a star off because of the price point--$55 is very expensive. Maybe they set that price to keep their visitors at a reasonable level, maybe that's what the market can bear, but that is crazy high. I understand that you can go up multiple times in the day but that's cold comfort when you purchase the ticket in the later afternoon or have other plans. I'd tweak the policy to be multiple times in the 24 hours after purchase price.

    After a fun day at Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Fall, we ended the day by riding the tram. Located close to the cruise port, this was a quick last minute stop. For $55/person, they pack you in like sardines to ride the tram up to a gift shop and restaurant. We already ate so I quickly explored the gift shop and stood in long line for 15 mins to ride a packed tram back down. Wish I had skipped this!

    Depending on what time of the year you go, there could be a very long line to wait in to get up and down. Once at the top, aside from eating at the restaurant on your own dime, there isn't much to do. For the $70 price point of the ticket, I would say this is not really worth it in my opinion.

    Let me save you some cash and tell you straight out that the tram is not worth the money. Sure it's a cool experience to ride it but I felt ripped off after I paid $55 to go up and back. The views are nice but it felt like a short ride and there's not much at the top to do aside from shopping at the gift store for your typical Alaska touristy stuff and eating at the restaurant. All the staff were very nice but for me I could have spent the same amount of money on a lot of other things or experiences I would have found more value in.

We were picked up from the cruise port and transported to the airport where we were given special shoe coverings and shown safety videos. From there we were in the helicopter and on our way to the glacier. Our pilot Corey was amazing and spoke about different things as we were flying over them. My fear quickly faded once I saw how beautiful Alaska looked from up above and I was in front (best seat in the house). The ride itself was smooth and fun. Once we landed on the glacier we were able to walk around, take some pictures and even drink up some of the natural glacier water. (Tip: take an empty water bottle). I can't recommend this company enough. Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime experience!

Having grown up in Juneau, our guide, Peter, is very wilderness-savvy and adept at sharing his knowledge with his clients. He kept our group well-informed and about bear behavior and let us know what to expect from the experience while we were out there and afterwards shared photos and videos of our adventure. Spectacular scenery from the air and on the ground and a fabulous learning opportunity. I highly recommend Wild Coast Excursions!
