Experience solitude and capture breath-taking snapshots on a remarkable Photo Expedition! Venture off-the-routinely used paths today to witness the seaside views of Juneau on a distinct personal scooter type - a Segway. This enjoyable, 3 hour journey will take you through scenic routes and beaches.

As your adventure begins, you will be instantly met with panoramas of the grand Mendenhall Glacier. Glide along the coastline and pause at multiple spots for photograph opportunities as you drink in the unspoiled waters of Lynn Canal, a portion of the Inside Passage.

Being on a Segway allows you a closer connection with the surrounding nature. Keep your ears open for the cries of eagles in the sky, the rhythmic sound of sea waves hitting the shore, and if you’re lucky, glimpse the rare sighting of a humpback whale breaking the water surface.

Fun Way to send some time - Fun family excursion! Carlie and Grace were fun and great guides. Was a great way to experience Juneau and take in Douglas Island. Segways was a neat way to explore the coast. We only portered for about 6 hours so this was a fun way to spend the time.

Segway Tour in Juneau - We had a great time on our segway tour. Our guides, Grace and William, were fantastic! It was our first time using a segway and they were great instructors and were very patient. The walk through the rainforest was educational and we enjoyed trying spruce tips and fiddleheads. There was a nice view of the glacier as well!

Beautiful biking in Juneau - We had e-bikes, not seg-ways, and it was a beautiful tour. Wish it were longer. Our 2 guides Clay and Paul were excellent. Native home grown Juneau men, polite, attentive, & knowledgeable of the area & history. Bikes were a little low powered, more pedal assist, but it was not hard for our older age group (60-70's) Would definitely recommend this tour when in Juneau. Better than any Princess excursion.
