-
Experience Alaska's original outdoor salmon bake, now in its
30th year. Upon arriving at Gold Creek Salmon Bake
Alaskan-caught salmon will be grilling over an open
alderwood fire. You will also enjoy Cheechako barbecued
chicken, Chilkoot baked beans, Tongass wild-rice pilaf, a
variety of fresh salads, corn bread and lemonade, coffee or
tea. (Beer and wine are available for an additional charge.)
Afterwards, you will roast marshmallows over a crackling fire.
View the beautiful Salmon Creek where salmon spawn and
remnants of the Historic Wagner Mine are evident.
-
You'll be off to visit the many sights of Juneau while you
enjoy the companionship and knowledgeable commentary of
your private driver-guide. Learn the colorful history of
Juneau's past and the various issues that may effect and
mold its future. You will visit the Gastineau Salmon
Hatchery, the magnificent Mendenhall Glacier with its newly
renovated visitor's center, and the Green Angel Gardens.
Additionally, the Alaska State Museum will welcome you to
explore its many intriguing exhibits. Weather permitting,
you will visit Homestead Park for a view of the quaint harbor
city nestled at the foot of Mount Juneau. Travelers will also
enjoy a cup of hot Russian tea and a snack.
-
Travel via floatplane to a seemingly impenetrable world of
glaciers and granite, a 1,500-square mile monument to the
Ice Age, and see five of its most stunning glaciers. Everyone
enjoys a window seat! The Juneau Icefield is a starkly
beautiful place where no animals live, ice rarely melts and
each snowfall adds to the frigid mass, thousands of feet
thick, that feeds the area's massive glaciers. A seasoned
Alaskan bush pilot will transport you from Juneau, past
waterfalls and lush rainforests, and across the imposing
faces of the Norris, Taku, Hole in the Wall and East and
West twin glaciers. You'll be able to look directly into
forbidding blue ice crevasses some hundreds of feet deep.
Keep an eye out for mountain goats, moose, bears and
eagles.
-
This adventure is an angler's dreams come true! Enjoy sport
fishing for salmon in the calm, beautiful waters of the Inside
Passage, just off Juneau's shore. You'll be trolling in one of
southeast Alaska's finest fishing grounds, surrounded by
some of the most glorious scenery on earth. Each boat has
a US Coast Guard-approved captain and features enclosed
cabins and marine heads. All rods will be secure in rod
holders so you don't even have to hold it. When the fish hits
you grab your pole and all others reel their pole in as
quickly as possible. With just four to six passengers per
boat, you'll have ideal conditions for fishing. For an
additional charge, your catch can be flash frozen or smoked
and shipped to your home.
-
This is an exciting yet gentle whitewater rafting adventure,
fun for all ages and experience levels. Begin with a scenic
tour to Mendenhall Lake, where you'll have a wonderful view
of the glacier - 1 1/2 miles wide and 150 feet high at the
face. Before boarding your eight- to 12-person raft, you'll be
outfitted with raingear, a life jacket and rubber boots. An
experienced and knowledgeable oarsman will guide the raft
across the still waters of the lake and into the river beyond.
You'll be treated to stunning views of hanging glaciers,
towering peaks and glacial topography. As you float down
Mendenhall River you will experience a few moderate
stretches of exhilarating rapids. Midway, you will stop for an
Alaskan-style snack of smoked salmon spread, reindeer
sausage, cheese and crackers.
-
Relive Juneau's thrilling history and pan for gold in an
authentic setting. A costumed prospector will guide you as
you ride through a picturesque historic residential area en
route to Last Chance Basin. You will trace the route
traversed by Joe Juneau and Richard Harris in their search
for gold over 100 years ago. Near the famous
Alaska-Juneau gold mine, one of the world's largest hard
rock mining operations, you'll have a chance to pan for gold
in Gold Creek yourself. There's guaranteed gold in every
pan! See the remnants of the mine and listen as the
prospector talks about the discovery of gold here and how it
was mined.
-
Experience one of the best opportunities in Southeast
Alaska to see humpback and killer whales and other marine
mammals. Your adventure begins with a short drive to a
scenic harbor where you will board a "mammal friendly" jet
boat with a fully enclosed and heated cabin, big windows,
and plenty of deck space. When you find marine mammals,
which include whales, porpoise, sea lions, and seals, your
captain will approach slowly and quietly to keep from
disturbing the animals, and leave it to the animals to
provide a close encounter if they so choose. The operator is
so confident in their ability to find a whale that they will
guarantee you will see at least one whale (perhaps at a
distance) or you will receive a $40 cash refund per adult and
$20 per child as you disembark the tour boat. Bring your
camera and plenty of film.
