Badatz2 Posted March 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I few years ago I took the helicopter tour in Skagway . There was only one company, and the ship of course used them There was only a $10 difference between them and the payment terms were better from the ship so I used them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted March 5, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 5, 2023 15 years ago did a helicopter tour to Mendenhall. Used a private company. Did it in the afternoon. Ship's morning tours got cancelled due to fog. It was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakelorain Posted March 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2023 We did the ship's tour and loved it. It was very windy and slippery on the glacier. Tour guide made sure everyone was comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdandMary Posted March 5, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 5, 2023 we have done the ship tour. Be aware that the ship will wait for any of their tours before departing while they will not wait if you have a private booked tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshrich Posted March 6, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2023 We did the helicopter dog sledding in Juneau last year, booked through Coastal Helicopters and they were fantastic, and a lot cheaper than the cruiseline, you can book online, we booked in person as we were on a b2b and booked the first time we stopped there for the following week. The ship was in port all day long so did not have any worries about being back on time. Skagway we did the Yukon train which was really scenic, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neelv Posted March 13, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted March 13, 2023 thanks...looks like cruise price for glacier hiking is $20 more than coastal helicopters.. i think the dog sledding gets a bit beyond our budget for a family of four... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
