- Mendenhall Glacier & Nugget Falls Shore Excursion - Juneau Alaska
In this video, we will ride the Glacier Express bus to the Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls in Juneau Alaska USA. This $45 shore excursion is a private excursion that can be taken when you get to shore in Juneau. The excursion booth is located at the base of the Mount Roberts Tramway next to several other excursion booths. The Glacier Express bus took about 25 minutes to travel to the Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls which is located in the Tongass National Forest. From there we hiked for about 1 mile to reach Nugget Falls. The park also has a great visitors center that will give out tons of information about the glacier. We took this private excursion while sailing to Alaska on a cruise as it was much cheaper than the excursions on the ship. The $45 cost also included the park fees to enter the area. If you are wondering what to do while visiting Juneau Alaska this Glacier Express Excursion is a great option.

This is exactly what we are doing in June. A lot of the excursions only spent 1 hours at the glacier and I wanted more time there so this looks perfect.
Hope you have a wonderful cruise!

Thanks for posting !
Lol! Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks a lot for reminding me the Niagara falls, l was there really amazing, your video is great 👍👌, hi from Saint Louis Missouri USA soy colombiano
Thank you for your kind words! 👍 Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
thanks for the info!! I just have booked my flight and cruise. I am coming from South Korea!
You're welcome 😃👍 you will have a great time.
cool info on Juneau! i subscribed!👌👌👌
Thanks 👍
I read that 100 years ago, the glacier went most of the way back to the visitor's center. (And covered the falls)
I'll be going there, next June, on the Bliss.
Awesome! Enjoy your Cruise. We sailed there on the Joy, The sister ship and had a wonderful time. And yes, it is sad that the glacier is receding. You can even see that it's gone back over the last few years.
Nice video, thanks. We will be cruising there next June. Trying to map out our Juneau stop to fit everything in as we want to do whale watching as well.
Awesome 👍 Enjoy your cruise.
Great video! I appreciate this since I would normally be hesitant to sign up with a tour company right off the ship. Thanks!
You're very welcome 👍
Great info - exactly what I was looking for!
Awesome 👍 Thanks for watching.
I was getting excited about this excursion until you mentioned the bears 🐻 lol.
Lol 😂 I'm sure you'll be fine.
Do you recommend the city tour and shuttle bus to mendenhall glacier that have reserved time/seat for $60 per person? I’m concern about the long lines/ long wait in June if we book the anytime shuttle bus for $45 per person.
👍👍👍 💖💖💖
Thank you for this video, you answered 2 questions I have been searching answers to. I use a rollator walker and it looks like I shouldn't have any trouble getting to the falls. Second I was wondering what the blue bus company was called. Thanks again.
You're welcome 👍
I think it’s the Blue Glacier Express. Note: if it’s raining, I think a part of the trail can be muddy. I thought I saw that in another.
Do you pay in cash or do they take debit there?
It helped
Perfect 👍
Thanks for the info, always looking for info on what port operators offer. I assume this was $45 a person, and do the busses just show up every 30 mins? No set time to leave? Did you happen to catch when their last buses pick up? As research seems like about 45 each way for a cab/uber and since there will be 2 of us, it ends up being about the same price anyways, but lil more organized this way.
Yes it was per person and the buses just kept doing loops and showed up every 30 minutes. I don't recall what time the last bus was.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer thanks, keep up the good videos!
Thank you 👍
This was the best 45 dollars I have ever spent.
👍👍👌✌️
Thanks for watching 🤗
Thank you for this very informative video. Could you please state how long was this tour?
I think it was only about 20min to half an hour to the glacier each way. You could stay as long as you wanted and grab the bus when you were ready to go back. I believe it left every half an hour.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer Greatly appreciate it for the information! That's exactly what I needed to know if the give you enough time to truly enjoy the Mendenhall Glacier and Falls... Thank you so very much!
You're welcome 😃👍
Very informative video. I do have a question for you. Can we buy the tickets once we arrive there or do we have to pre-purchase the tickets ahead of time?
We purchased them when we arrived but that was a few years ago. I am not sure what there process is now.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer ah OK. Thank you
@@NLMusique You can buy them at the booth.
Heading out this coming Tuesday to alaska . Should I book the blue bus in advance? Or do u think once import I can buy? I really wanna go the nugget falls and mendenhall
We were just there about a month ago and you can buy this excursion still as soon as you got off the ship. Worst case you could take a taxi for only a little bit more.
12 days before I go there. What time of year did you go??? I saw shorts on people in your Video.
Have an awesome time! This was at the end of June carrying over into July.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer I'm going to bring a few pairs of shorts, in case we get good weather. 12 days from now.
Thanks.
Is there enough time from docking at 1 leaving at 6:30 to do the tram and the blue bus to the glacier?
I feel like you would be rushed to do both of them. Maybe do the tram second because it's closer to the ship so you know how much time you have left.
Sorry , did you buy a commercial tour ? Do they have regular busses to the Glacier?
Yes, this is a commercial tour. They are at the port and available for booking when you arrive.
Heading there in august. Should I book now ?? Or wait till I arrive? Will they be all sold out?
We were back there a few days ago and they were still selling tours when we got off the ship. But I can't say for every sailing. If your worries about it then book ahead. Worst case you can also take a taxi.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer thank you!
We will be arriving on the Bliss in August (port time 7am to 130 pm) do we have enough time to do this?....I dont imagine much has changed
Yes, that would be enough time but it depends on how much sightseeing/ hiking you plan to do.
Did u have time to shop in the city after your tour?
Yes we had time to shop after. It all depends on how long you decide to stay at nugget falls.
How is this for someone in a wheelchair?
Will this bus allow wheel chairs to be loaded on the bus?
That's a good question. You'll need to contact the company directly to find out.
Is that $45 per person, or was that all together for 2 people?
We paid $45 per person. But that was a couple years ago. It's possible the price is slightly higher now.
Thank you, I am the bus driver.
Awesome 👍 We had such a great time and can't wait to come back.
how do we book this tour for may 2022?
how safe is it to walk around with the threat of bears? thanks for sharing..going to Alaska in a few weeks.
The main trail at the glacier had lots of people so it's quite safe. If you decide to venture off on your own I would be a little bit more weary and maybe carry bear spray.
It’s safe, never has there been a black bear attack, In the 36 years I’ve been going there.
Its 80.oo now..just booked, fyi
Thanks for sharing the update. This was filmed a couple years ago.
