The Top 19 Recreation Tours in Juneau

Why join a Juneau recreation tour, you ask? Well, with endless natural wonders, breathtaking landscapes, and fascinating wildlife, you’ll want to make the most of your time in the Alaskan capital. Appreciate the culture, rugged nature, and thrilling activities of this unique destination, which is a real outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. Take your pick from dog sledding, hiking, zip-lining, and more - there’s plenty to choose from! 

If you want to know more about the life of dog mushers and their huskies, then the Juneau Sled Dog Discovery could be the perfect option. Professional mushers will take you on an exciting ride in a wheeled dog cart pulled by a large group of excited huskies. See the bond between dog and musher, check out the musher camp set-up, and even pet the husky puppies. Gorgeous!

If you dream of speeding through the air, then the Helicopter Glacier Trek could be a trip to consider. Your pilot will navigate over the Juneau Icefield, whizzing over mountains and lush forest before touching down on the Mendenhall Glacier. Hike over the icy landscape, exploring all the elements that make up a glacier. This is the ideal opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of glaciers while feeling the adrenaline pumping through your veins. 

Another tour that’s suited to adventurers is the Mendenhall Glacier River Float Trip. Raft down the Mendenhall River as you pass through class-III rapids, taking in snow-clad mountains to your left and right and spotting native Alaskan wildlife along the way.
