At the time I booked my Lighthouse, Totems, & Eagles excursion, I already had Whales and Bears planned in Icy Strait Point and glaciers in Tracy Arm Fjord and Juneau. I know totems are a big deal in this area and I wanted to book something with a guarantee…

Good morning from the capitol of Alaska, Juneau! Whale watching is a very popular excursion here. I did my Whale Watching in Icy Strait Point specifically so I could free today up for Mendenhall Glacier. I’m doing Mendenhall at my own pace so I will be able to have…
