Juneau Private Bike Tour w Glacier Views (and Extra Sightseeing)
Description
The only private bike tour in Juneau! The best way to experience the area on the ground, and then in a vehicle! Enjoy the intimacy of just your family and friends — up to 4 — on a bike ride a few miles from the Mendenhall Glacier. Then continue exploring other scenic spots in a luxury hybrid SUV. Travel briefly on your bike through a quiet residential neighborhood to the first glacier lookout, before riding along a flat nature trail with more great views of the glacier. The easy-paced bike ride lasts around 1-1.5 hours (3-4 miles total), with amazing photo opportunities. After the leisurely ride, at your pace, we do some sightseeing, including an optional visit to the DIPAC salmon hatchery, in a SUV. If you do not want to see the hatchery, we visit another scenic spot or two instead. Tour guide is a local family man, who has lived in Juneau since 2016. * More people in your group means more savings per person * Guaranteed to return you to your ship before its departure

Wow! What a wonderful morning exploring the area with Allan. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about Juneau, its rich history, and its incredible natural beauty. We asked to spend more time outdoors and visit other points of interest, and Allan was happy to accommodate, taking us to several scenic locations, including the bird preserve. A highlight of the tour was visiting the salmon hatchery. It was fascinating to learn about marine life, the salmon life cycle, and the important role the hatchery plays in protecting and sustaining salmon populations. Allan’s knowledge, flexibility, and enthusiasm made for an unforgettable experience.
Thanks Anna! I’m happy you and Matt enjoyed yourselves. Safe travels back to Washington.
Wow...what a great experience. We booked the morning of our bike tour and were treated to an awesome experience with personal attention from Allan, the host-tour guide. He picked us up from our desired location and took us to pick up our bikes, pointing out interesting things along the way. The bikes were practically new Trek bikes and despite very rainy weather (to be expected in Juneau), we had a good time following Allan through a variety of neighborhoods and around the airport near several glacier viewing vantage points. You won't be close too the the glacier but you will get a distant view as you are still in the city. We loved the bike ride and Allan's friendliness and stories and tales made it all the more interesting, especially on the SUV Viewing tour after the bike ride which was equally fun and interesting. We stopped at some Totems and got several good views of the surrounding lakes/islands. It was certainly nice to get a heated limousine like experience after our wet bike ride. Note we were day long cruise passengers and we scheduled a late afternoon booking after a several hour hike on the Perseverance Trail. Can't speak to the hatchery as it closed prior to our late afternoon tour. Would definitely have no reservations about recommending this private tour vs. doing the larger group tours sponsored by the Cruise lines/Viator/TripAdvisor.
Thanks Sam. What an adventure we had! I hope all four in your party made it home safely, and made memories for a lifetime.
Book this tour if you’re looking for a peaceful, easy-paced bike ride and car tour of Juneau. Allen is friendly, knowledgeable & willing to make a detour if you have something in mind. Beautiful scenery and views of the glacier. Fabulous experience! Thank you, Allan, for making our day in Juneau special.
You’re welcome, Evelyn and Stuart. I enjoyed the bike ride a lot, as well as touring around in my SUV. Even for a local, the scenery never gets old! Safe travels back to Florida. Allan
