Taxi to Mendenhall

[shadow8899]

I remember 10 years ago, we were in Juneau and we took a taxi to Mendenhall, as it was the best option. Is that still the case?

 

Thanks!

It can be for 4 or more people? But there is also a shuttle bus, $30pp or a rental car, there are 2 downtown vendors to choose from. I'd ball park the taxi rate at around $35+

There is tourist shuttle bus now. Hard to beat in the

 

$8-10 range (round trip)

 

I am sure that taxis are still available.

Incorrect information, the shuttle buses are $30pp round trip, as listed above.

Following this conversation... Was going to do the shuttle, but it appears almost as expensive as the taxi! How easy is it to get a taxi back from Mendenhall?

The shuttle include the park admission, the taxi's don't.

 

 

You have to arrange your own taxi, either with a prearranged pickup or you calling about 1/2 hour prior to wanting your pick up.

I just reserved a rental car from Avis for less than $60....For 4 of us to ride in the shuttle bus, it would have cost us $120...Hoping I made a good decision!!!

Thinking of renting a car also! There will be 4 adults. What is the cost to visit? Also, does anyone - from where you park to the entrance is it far? Two of the 4 adults have problems walking far distances - should I bring my handicap decal?

Depending on the time of day, the parking lot could be full and you would park 'a distance' away. I'd definitely bring the decal if you have any concerns.

The car will allow you to explore. This basic map provides info on distances to some popular locations, like Eagle Beach and Shrine of St Therese on the coast ... click on the map to enlarge:
