Juneau Private Sightseeing with a Local (Luxury SUV)

Enjoy the intimacy of just your family and friends — up to 5 — on a private sightseeing tour of gorgeous Juneau. See the Mendenhall Glacier from a scenic lookout; as well as mountain vistas, eagles, salmon, seals, and more. Ride in a luxury hybrid SUV, with mid-row captain seats and an expansive moonroof for spotting eagles soaring above. Take comfort in a heated seat (if temps are too cool for your liking), and charge your phone while relaxing in style. Guide is a local family man, who has lived in Juneau since 2016. Learn about our town’s history, and feast on the scenery. * Start times are flexible (contact me after booking about earlier and later times). * The DIPAC fish hatchery is open 5/4-9/30. A visit is optional; another site or two can take its place. * More people means more savings per person * If your party has six, I may be able to accommodate them, no extra charge (contact me after booking to see). * Guaranteed to return you to your ship before its departure
