Excursion Juneau by private jeep tour at Juneau
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Experience Juneau's most scenic and historic locales on this private, guided adventure.
Depart the pier with your driver/guide and begin your tour on downtown's narrow streets past the State Capitol, Russian Orthodox Church, and Governor's mansion and on to view Juneau's most popular attraction, the magnificent Mendenhall Glacier. Enjoy panoramic views; walk one of the short nature trails; or explore the Visitor's Centre, with interactive displays and U.S. Forest Service interpreters who offer insight into this breath-taking, natural phenomenon. You continue North through the once thriving Auke Indian village site to the Shrine of St. Therese where you explore the historic stone chapel and serene waterfront grounds. From here we continue "out the road" to enjoy a scenic and secluded piece of Alaska history at the Governor Gruening State Historical Site. Take in the spectacular Chilkat mountain range across the Lynn Canal while enjoying a light Alaskan snack and optional beach walk near the former Territorial Governor's rustic cabin.
On your return to town, you may either: stop in at the Macaulay Salmon Hatchery to view and learn about the amazing Alaskan salmon; or stop in at the award-winning Alaskan Brewing Company for a tour and taste of Juneau you'll truly enjoy.
