Creator's Key Takeaways

I am on the Royal Caribbean Ovation of the sea is our first stop it's Juno

I found out that you do need to buy your tickets from one of two places over there and then they will bring you to the bus

the glacier is very near the entrance and you just walk straight and you'll run right into it

it was really happy to see it because it is disappearing really gorgeous

Creator's Tips & Advice

Buy tickets from one of two places near the port to get the shuttle bus

YouTube Video Description

Cruise Stop JUNEAU: Explore Mendenhall Glacier on your own explains how to find an easy way to get to the Mendenhall Glacier with a local company. It was easy enough to find and book and the times were perfect for our 8 hour layover in Juneau. There is a public bus that goes to the Mendenhall Glacier, but we did not want to waste our day on a bus, so we opted to go with the Glacier Express and I explain exactly where it is and what to do in my video! The walk to the Glacier is very near the entrance to the park. It is probably about a half of a mile at most. Our hiking path to the waterfall was flooded out, so we only could view it from a distance, but what a BEAUTIFUL area. Juneau is a very scenic place. Bring your camera. Here are some helpful websites: Mendenhall Glacier https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/tongass/about-forest/offices/?cid=stelprdb5400800 Glacier Shuttle https://www.juneautours.com/shuttle-mendenhall-glacier The cost of the bus ride was $45 per person round trip. I saw no taxis. Downtown has some good restaurants for crab and shopping for jewelry and miscellaneous crafts. It was cold, bring an umbrella and dress in layers!
