    Located by the Juneau cruise terminal, the Goldbelt Tram offers a ride up Mt Robert's, providing…read moreviews of Juneau, Gastineau Channel (& the cruise ships) and Douglas Island. The line goes fast and the employees running the trams are efficient. The ride itself is short, approximately 3 minutes, so the $50 price tag will seem a bit steep. We walked some of the trails and got in ~2 hilly miles. The views were great and there were many wildflowers to look at while resting. A local artist was set up carving a totem outside the gift shop and was incredibly friendly, offering guests an opportunity to carve a bit and take photos. Kids really seemed to like this and he was great with interested families. We did not visit the cafe. I would have liked to have purchased my ticket earlier and done another trip up to walk off dinner-that ticket is good all day-and would recommend this if you have time.

    TLDR: Fun activity, not worth the price…read more The tram is a pretty popular activity in Juneau. While you do go up really high and you really won't get a view like this any other way- I personally don't feel like it's worth it for the price. They pack the tram pretty full (which hey, they have to with how many people are in line!), which makes it tough to really enjoy the view as you're going up. There are some trails and a restaurant and a gift shop at the top. The ticket does include unlimited rides on the tram, but the lines to get on the tram both on the top and the bottom would make it pretty tedious to go on more than once.

    If you have limited time in Juneau, the Tram up Mouth Roberts is eye opening…read more The tram ride is slow enough to enjoy. No ear popping, it can be a little crowded, but the cool thing is your ticket is good all day and you can run up and down until the end of the day. Military discount is small, but if you have a good size group, it's worth it. There are a couple of amenities at the top. A a small cafe, a gift shop, a little auditorium that plays a movie about the history of the tram. We got up to the top. We went hiking on the small trail, but if you have it in your...you can hike up to Browns Cross and get an even better view of Juneau and the surrounding areas. And one ticket will allow you to do it early and then again later? Wow. The staff are friendly and keep things in order. They get you up pretty quickly. We had a good time, and I can see why it's a must do on Juneau lists. Recommend.

    I'm guessing our experience was better than others. The cost was much less because we booked it…read morethrough NCL. There's a $50 credit per tour that applies to the first guest through the "More at Sea" package. You'll also get Latitude Reward discounts depending on your tier. It somehow ended up costing less than $20 for both of us. It's also an all day pass, so you can go up & down as many times as you want. We were one of the first in line that morning. There were only 8 people in front of us. We watched as they were taking the staff up to the shop & resraurants. Before long, it was our turn. The tram was pretty packed with lots of standing room and very few seats. I chose to be on the outer edge with a great view. The climb is steep, and you do go straight up like an elevator for that last push to the top. To be honest, I've been on much higher gondolas (to the top of the Zugspitze near Garmisch). The Goldbelt Tram was an easy ride compared to that. I did like the commentary along the way. It was nice to hear fun facts & history as you're taking in the view of the channel and forest below. There is a gift shop, restaurant, bar, and theater as you get to the top. We opted to take on the Alpine Loop Trail early. We also made sure to stop at the Chilkat Theater to view the "Seeing Daylight" documentary. Don't miss that viewing. It's part of the whole experience. It really puts everything into perspective about the land and its people (Tlinget) who have lived here for centuries. You'll see an ongoing theme as you explore other Alaskan towns. It really ties it all together. We didn't get to try the restaurants. We thought it best to explore Downtown Juneau and the waterfront instead. It was a good decision. It was all very memorable! I'd love to do it all again.
