Take in two of Juneau's beloved attractions on this lovely 2.5-hour adventure that begins with a quick motorcoach ride to Overstreet (Whale) Park, to photograph the life-sized breaching whale statue and fountain, named Tahku, and take in the stunning views of the Gastineau Channel where you might even see real whales in the chilly waters. Stroll along the adjacent Seawalk and admire the colorful totem poles. Continue on to the beautiful Glacier Gardens Rainforest, a local gem established in 1998. Nestled within the heart of the Tongass National Forest is a floral sanctuary boasting a vibrant Alaska botanical garden. Step aboard a covered tram and enjoy a guided journey into the ancient splendor of Thunder Mountain's old-growth rainforest. At an elevation of 580 feet above sea level, you'll take in panoramic vistas of Juneau. Stop in the gift shop for one-of-a-kind souvenirs, then return to port after this enchanting day.
