Juneau, Alaska Cruise Tour Shore Excursions
Like Alaska, Juneau is full of contrasts, a sophisticated cosmopolitan city in the heart of the Tongass National Forest. Nestled at the base of towering mountains overlooking the Gastineau Channel, the community's rich culture and history is displayed throughout the town and in several local museums.
As the official repository of the state's history, the Alaska State Museum is charged with collecting and interpreting a wealth of ethnographic and historical material. From an Aleut thimble basket to the life-sized eagle tree, the Alaska State Museum offers visitors a chance to "see" all the state within four walls.
In
order to get a close-up look at what life was like during the Alaska Panhandle's
gold rush days of the mid-1800s, A-J Mine/Gastineau Mill Enterprises is the
place to go. Visitors to this historical attraction are given the chance to take
Juneau's only underground mining tour.
Take a whale watching tour to view glaciers calving into pristine waters,
grizzly bears feasting on wild salmon, otters frolicking in kelp beds, eagles
soaring overhead, humpback whales, and orca (the killer whale) feeding and
playing in quiet inlets.
Whether it's the serenity of an alpine meadow or the thrill of witnessing a
breaching whale, adventure runs wild in Juneau.
