I appreciate all the answers people have given to someone who only has 2 days to squeeze in a lot for 2 days. Sounds just like my husband. If I can ask, 3 of 4 of us are strong, avid kayakers; I am ok. Would appreciate advice re: kayak tours (if needed) to do Mendenhall glacier for a trip we have which will get us in Juneau June 24th from 11AM till cruise departs at 8PM. My husband is desperate to walk on a glacier...if anyone knows anything other than helicopters, appreciate it. My understandingi is there is a pretty mile hike from the Glacier Visitor Center. But he wants to try to combine kayaking as well....I need someone who can advise us if doing all this is crazy or possible, and not be left by our cruise boat! Wish we could spend more $ for many things, but this is our 1st trip and I always hear your regrets are you didn't do enough. That is what other trips are for. Out next stop is Skagway from 7AM till 8:30, the next day, so I know we can find a reasonable bicycle trip there. Does anyone recommend hiring a whale tour in either Juneau or Skagway (I recall Juneau has more than Skagay, but I profess to knowing nothing!). Appreciate any suggestions and words of advice for a very nice man who tries to often do a lot but does forget those simple things like traffic, etc. Thanks much!
