chris2597 Posted July 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2012 We took the bus to Mendenhall Glacier the last time we were in Juneau. i think it was about 8.00 pp each way. We walked from the port to the bus station...just a little way from the ship. Is this still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this two weeks ago. Worked out fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamscckmc Posted July 10, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Our tour drops us off there. Can you by a one way shuttle back to the pier there or do you have to by it at the booth at the pier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2597 Posted July 10, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Does the bus pick up at the pier or is it still a bit of a walk from the ship area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy a return ticket direct from the bus driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted July 10, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2012 The Mendenhall SHUTTLE buses pick up at the parking lot next to the tram. The CITY bus, has a bus stop down Franklin a couple blocks from the Red Dog, and across the street. This then drops you off a mile+ from the visitor center, and doesn't run frequently. Usually once per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHCruisr Posted July 10, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 10, 2012 We took the blue bus to Mendenhall two weeks ago. It was $8 and very convenient. We did find that the Visitors Center was very crowded and when we went back to the bus stop a line had formed waiting for the bus. We were fine on time so it was not a problem. Another bus came along in about 10 minutes. If you are in port for a limited time, just leave enough time to get back to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorothyB Posted July 10, 2012 #9 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I believe I've read that the shuttle stops running pretty early. One poster said they took a cab back to the pier? Are the cabs readily available at the glacier visitors center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the cabs readily available at the glacier visitors center? I was there two weeks ago and didn't see any taxis near the Visitors' Center. I am not saying they aren't available, but I didn't see them. I think the last shuttle bus pickup is at 6:00 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest if a possibility of you needing one, to have the phone numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
