RS79 Posted February 25, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2008 My wife and I would like to do a whale watch in Juneau. Which trips are recommended? Also, is it worth adding on a trip to the Mendenhall Glacier to make a package tour? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjnky Posted February 25, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2008 We had a great whale-watching tour with Capt. Larry and Orca Enterprises. One of the ships naturalists was on board to make the trip complete. Orca's tours are "medium-sized" with lots of room to move around vs. the ships cruises that are much larger. If you'd prefer a smaller boat, Harv & Marv get LOTS of excellent reviews here, and I would not hesitate going with them. We co-booked for a coastal helicopter glacier landing - but I'm sure they'd drop you off at Mendenhall if that's what you'd prefer. (As will Harv & Marv) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary4ann Posted February 25, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Planning a glacier landing for our trip in August. Can you tell me who you use and any other details including cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjnky Posted February 25, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2008 We flew with www.coastalhelicopters.com Price on the tour we took is 229 this year. That includes about 20 minutes walking on the glacier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted February 25, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I am a long time customer of Orca Enterprises and highly recommend them. They can arrange a Mendenhall pick up/drop off, with advance request at the time of your reservation. You do want to cobook this and not waste a hour in shuttle time going back and forth. As for glacier helicopter landing. I also recommend Coastal whom I've flown with 3 times. I have also flown with 2 other companies, with TEMSCO my other recommendation. ERA is just about completely ship contracted and located on Douglas Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
