ugadawgfan Posted March 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2023 We will arrive in Juneau at 2pm on Aug. 24th and are there until 11pm. We want to do a whale watching tour with Harv and Marv that starts at 5 pm. My question is do we have time to go to Mendenhall Glacier between 2 and 5 pm. If so should we just take a taxi from port to glacier and then glacier to dock to meet Harv and Marv tour, or is there a better way? Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted March 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Check with Harv and Marv. Most whale watching tours can drop you off or pick you up at the glacier. It's on the way from downtown to Auke Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are very close to Mendenhall when you are out there. I would think a shuttle or taxi to Mendenhall and then getting a taxi to Auke Bay would work. I would not go back into Juneau downtown between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriving at 2 means getting off at 2.30 or later and then the time to get to Mendenhall. Then you need to get to the whale tour by 5 so that means leaving 4.30 or so. I guess if you wanted to do a quick tour of the visitor center you could make it but any hiking trips would be rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
