The place to experience a little bit of everything

Juneau is Alaska’s capital and one of the most beautiful capitals in the United States. Larger than the state of Rhode Island, there are a wide variety of exceptional experiences in this small city. One of the unparalleled attractions of the area is a flightseeing tour of the Juneau Icefield. The Mendenhall Glacier is just north of downtown and offers great hiking, animal sightseeing and beautiful photo opportunities. Other tour opportunities include whale watching, visiting Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness where you can see glaciers calve and watching bears at the Pack Creek Brown Bear viewing area. Visitors can also shop, visit museums, dine at restaurants and take in local entertainment. This capital has a little bit of everything to offer a visitor who wants a wide range of opportunities.
