    Just beautiful, cruised along this body of water into Juneau. Highly recommend spending time on your balcony or in an area of the ship where you can watch. Beautiful scenery.

    Very beautiful spot. The shrine is on a little island out from the beach. Wonderful old world cobblestone construction. Very peaceful and reflective. Gift shop with snacks available. A beautiful spot to relax. Highly recommend.

    I thought we would just be wandering through a garden, but the open vehicle transport up the mountain was a great ride. We saw beautiful views, and the upside down trees were amazing!

    There are two parts to this glacier and we saw both. We took the 8-hour boat ride out of Juneau and it was very well done by Allen Marine Tours. A good boat tour will include slowing when near the small icebergs floating by, being close to a waterfall or two and even possible whale or mountain goat sightings. Be sure to wear layered clothing as it can be cold in the open even if it is not when you leave Juneau.

    I always visit this distillery when I am in Juneau, Alaska. Why ? Because they have the best Gin and Tonics ever ! Besides distilling their own Gin with Alaskan grown ingredients they do the same for their tonic water. The people their are awesome. I want to give a shout out to Rachel who not only is knowledgeable about their product but very helpful . I had a chance to talk to her at length and learn about not only their products but also the city of Juneau. If Gin is your thing please go. You will not be disappointed.

    What a find! Tucked away on a side street a couple of blocks away from the tourist traffic, it is worth the effort to find this brewery. We were the only tourists there.

    We tried a flight and really enjoyed them all. Our favorite——English barley wine aged in apple brandy barrels.

    Staff friendly and funny

    Seeing the bears in a safe way in their natural habitat could not have been more fun and exciting. The tour guides (two young ladies) and the float plan pilot were all awesome.

    Well constructed boardwalk to get you through an area with great history, a flowing creek and small waterfalls. Some may not like the "controlled" nature of the trail, but if you have small kids with you, the boardwalk and handrails allows everyone to go at his or her own speed. Do be aware there can be rock slides covering the trail, but they can be easily walked over.

    They have lots of different knives including lovely Ulu ones. The shop is handy to the cruise ship dock and easy to find. We use our Ulu often. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

    This will be the absolute highlight of our trip! We were with 8?friends and no one has quit talking about how amazing this day was! You can not even believe the scenery you will see from the plane and the time at the lodge was incredible, too. Such a feast and great storytelling by the hosts.

    This was a highlight of our Alaska trip. Josh and Lou, our guides, were excellent. The dogs were so energetic and friendly! The ride was exhilarating and the presentation was interesting.

    We had seen a glacier before from a large boat and thought it was nice. So we had second thoughts about going on a helicopter & climbing. Seeing how large the glacier is was spectacular! The views were amazing, I literally had to hold my jaw closed. I was scared I would fall on the ice, but the guide stayed close by me and we took our time. Luckily I was with friends and they were understanding of my balance issues & just being clumsy. I would go again and I wouldn't be afraid. Do not miss this once in a life time opportunity.
