Located by the Juneau cruise terminal, the Goldbelt Tram offers a ride up Mt Robert's, providing…read moreviews of Juneau, Gastineau Channel (& the cruise ships) and Douglas Island. The line goes fast and the employees running the trams are efficient. The ride itself is short, approximately 3 minutes, so the $50 price tag will seem a bit steep. We walked some of the trails and got in ~2 hilly miles. The views were great and there were many wildflowers to look at while resting. A local artist was set up carving a totem outside the gift shop and was incredibly friendly, offering guests an opportunity to carve a bit and take photos. Kids really seemed to like this and he was great with interested families. We did not visit the cafe. I would have liked to have purchased my ticket earlier and done another trip up to walk off dinner-that ticket is good all day-and would recommend this if you have time.

TLDR: Fun activity, not worth the price…read more The tram is a pretty popular activity in Juneau. While you do go up really high and you really won't get a view like this any other way- I personally don't feel like it's worth it for the price. They pack the tram pretty full (which hey, they have to with how many people are in line!), which makes it tough to really enjoy the view as you're going up. There are some trails and a restaurant and a gift shop at the top. The ticket does include unlimited rides on the tram, but the lines to get on the tram both on the top and the bottom would make it pretty tedious to go on more than once.

From exploring the beautiful, and very easy and manageable forest walk to the glacier and lake where our group was led by Lynne who was super informative and fun, to then a boat cruise where we got to get close and see so many humpback whales breaching and then to the surprise of the crew a number of Orca also breaching. We all had such fun and highly recommend the tour and hope you get the awesome crew we had. Thanks guys for a super memorable experience!

No ear popping, it can be a little crowded, but the cool thing is your ticket is good all day and you can run up and down until the end of the day. Military discount is small, but if you have a good size group, it's worth it. There are a couple of amenities at the top. A a small cafe, a gift shop, a little auditorium that plays a movie about the history of the tram. We got up to the top. We went hiking on the small trail, but if you have it in your...you can hike up to Browns Cross and get an even better view of Juneau and the surrounding areas. And one ticket will allow you to do it early and then again later? Wow. The staff are friendly and keep things in order. They get you up pretty quickly.

I'm guessing our experience was better than others. The cost was much less because we booked it…read morethrough NCL. There's a $50 credit per tour that applies to the first guest through the "More at Sea" package. You'll also get Latitude Reward discounts depending on your tier. It somehow ended up costing less than $20 for both of us. It's also an all day pass, so you can go up & down as many times as you want. We were one of the first in line that morning. There were only 8 people in front of us. We watched as they were taking the staff up to the shop & resraurants. Before long, it was our turn. The tram was pretty packed with lots of standing room and very few seats. I chose to be on the outer edge with a great view. The climb is steep, and you do go straight up like an elevator for that last push to the top. To be honest, I've been on much higher gondolas (to the top of the Zugspitze near Garmisch). The Goldbelt Tram was an easy ride compared to that. I did like the commentary along the way. It was nice to hear fun facts & history as you're taking in the view of the channel and forest below. There is a gift shop, restaurant, bar, and theater as you get to the top. We opted to take on the Alpine Loop Trail early. We also made sure to stop at the Chilkat Theater to view the "Seeing Daylight" documentary. Don't miss that viewing. It's part of the whole experience. It really puts everything into perspective about the land and its people (Tlinget) who have lived here for centuries. You'll see an ongoing theme as you explore other Alaskan towns. It really ties it all together. We didn't get to try the restaurants. We thought it best to explore Downtown Juneau and the waterfront instead. It was a good decision. It was all very memorable! I'd love to do it all again.

They have two locations: one by the cruise docks (rentals) and one by the bridge to Douglas…read more(everything else). This is the rentals location. Make sure you go to the right location (they're within walking distance) as their operating hours differ! I rented a bike as an independent traveler for some easy 40 mile rides just to see the sights. Price for renting was fair in my opinion. Check in and check out was a simple process. The bikes aren't super fancy but they do the job. The one I got wasn't in great shape (indexing on the rear derailleur was pretty off) but it wasn't the worst either. The employee at the rental joint was friendly and helpful but maybe not the most competent. This shop has a monopoly in town so you get what you get. That said, overall I was happy with my experience and I'd definitely rent here again if I came back to Juneau, just be prepared for what you may encounter.

We booked Liquid Alaska Tours for our canoe experience as there were very little excursions…read moreavailable since we booked so last minute. We booked through Tripadvisor and the cost for the canoe for each person was about $230 each (pricey, I know). We were pretty bummed when we found out that our tour didn't include getting off the canoe to get up close to the glacier, especially since the price was quite steep. The photos on Tripadvisor and Viator show that the people do in fact get off the boat, but apparently it was incorrect (false advertisement imo). What I will say was the saving grace was the fact the scenery of this canoe ride was epic. There's a lot that can't be seen unless you take a helicopter, seaplane, kayak, or canoe up close to the Mendenhall Glacier. Our tour guide, Dawson was also great. He was full of dad jokes throughout the whole canoe ride. P.S. Don't think you're gonna get off this easy! The canoe ride was an exercise to say the least! My arms were sore the next day!

Matt was incredible. We only had 5 people on our canoe and it was very relaxing and fun…read more Matt's very knowledgeable on everything and is easy to chat with. I wish we had spent a little more time at the glacier and less at the waterfall. Perhaps we had to rush back since we only had 5 people on the canoe so it took us longer than average to canoe out there and back (1 kid, 4 adults). Took about 30 minutes each way and spent probably around 4-5 minutes at the glacier probably 2-3 minute...spent most of the time canoeing. We took breaks at places where there wasn't much of a scene. Romeo the wolf was a great story that was shared and wish that was told to us prior the end of the canoe trip so we could've really taken it in more!

The other people on the bus and our bus driver were all great. We all played a "Name that movie soundtrack" game out to the marina and back which was SUPER fun. Once we got on the boat, the staff were all friendly and great and once everyone was comfortably seated on board we headed out. Now the Alaskan coast line was INCREDIBLE and coming from Maine, I fully understand that you cannot predict whale activity. We were out on the water for about two hours and there were a few tail sightings, which were disappointing to me, but I completely accepted with a shrug. The interesting part though, was that everyone else on the boat was FREAKING OUT with happiness over those few tail sightings. They were running to the side of the boat and stretching over with their binoculars, they were laughing and smiling and basking in the Alaskan sun. Clearly the problem was mine! What's wrong with me?

We were picked up from the cruise port and transported to the airport where we were given special shoe coverings and shown safety videos. From there we were in the helicopter and on our way to the glacier. Our pilot Corey was amazing and spoke about different things as we were flying over them. My fear quickly faded once I saw how beautiful Alaska looked from up above and I was in front (best seat in the house). The ride itself was smooth and fun. Once we landed on the glacier we were able to walk around, take some pictures and even drink up some of the natural glacier water. (Tip: take an empty water bottle). I can't recommend this company enough. Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime experience!
