Mendenhall Glacier Shuttle Service, Roundtrip from Juneau

My husband and I took a cruise to Alaska and we decided to go to Mendenhall Glacier. Instead of booking the excursion through the cruise line the cruise excursions didn't spend much time there, we booked the shuttle service and set off on our own. I'm glad we did. Not only was the cost extremely reasonable, but it felt more like a tour then just a bus ride. Our driver a teacher from, I believe TX, told us stories of the history of Juneau during the 20-30 minute drive. When we were ready to leave the park and head back to town, the bus stop was jam packed. We figured, since the shuttle runs every 30 minutes, we would be waiting for the next. Nope. There happened to be 2 shuttles in the park. The 2nd shuttle wasn't scheduled to stop, but since he saw that there were so many people waiting, he would take a busload back to town. I would definitely recommend using the service if you want to visit Mendenhall.

Visiting Mendenhall Glacier on our own was definitely the right choice and Viator made it easy with this voucher. I do not like to haggle with kiosks at cruise ports, its stressful to me. We walked off the ship to under the tram and there was the shuttle, showed our printed out voucher and boarded the shuttle. The driver was pleasant and provided fun information on the way to Mendenhall as well as pointing out eagles. Hiked to falls and other trails, had a lovely day. Shuttle back to town was effortless as well. Highly recommend!
