Juneau Alaska Downtown Walking Tour | Juneau Alaska Excursions

Juneau Alaska Downtown Walking Tour | Juneau Alaska Excursions By John Gentry

We take you from the cruise ship port along the dock shoreline and around downtown Juneau. Get an idea of how Juneau looks before you get to Alaska, and hear my tips and information about the area. Also, take a look at our website where we have a large Alaska Travel and Moving guide with articles, photos, and videos of Juneau and around Alaska.

We have also begun a new travel guide for Alaska using our own content. Alaska businesses do change but from an adventure travel standpoint, nature stays fairly stable there but with some warming changes in the north. Our new guide has videos showing whats it’s like to travel the Alaska ferry system AKA the Marine highway. The link here: https://exploretraveler.com/alaska_travel_and_moving_faq/ will give you an edge since everything is real from our own perspective. We have extensive articles and videos showing business and areas of Denali State Park and our extensive photograph collection will also give you an idea of what to expect. Flying to remote locations from Juneau is also common and here is a link to my flights in small aircraft that I did manage to capture from the cockpit of the plane here: https://youtu.be/WGxzxDctk74 Juneau is the gateway to the Alaska Southeast and short flight to Skagway, Haines or more can be taken for these short flights. The Ferry ride is also available and we like to just walk on and walk off into Skagway since it’s a short walk to the hotels downtown. In Juneau, we recommend the 4 points by Sheraton (Marriott Owned now). In Skagway we like Sgt. Preston’s and it’s simple, clean, warm, and roomy enough. It’s also a short walk to food and the old Skagway experience year around. Winters are milder and we like unique photography during this time.

so we’re going to walk here along the pier and I’m going to take you through the different areas of downtown Juneau

as you can see the ravens are ripping apart the bags gosh I hope they’re not eating them they’re really big they’re usually not too aggressive though

people are hanging out have lunch here on the pier so here’s what it looks like on this angle it’s red dog saloon little condo slash apartments it’s kind of the mountains that overlook Juneau

there’s a little sign here kind of points the way we’re going to be going in a small circle juno is not that big so it gives you a lot to you can see a lot in just a few minutes

let’s see even with and dynamic here things are fairly normal

so we’re just gonna walk here along the dock let’s go over here

i think people might wonder that area across that you’re seeing now that’s called Douglas island there’s a bridge that connects the two

see a lot of boats come into port here as you can see

juno is a historical it was a seafood city but it’s kind of turned into a large tourist season city at this point

a lot of people come into this point get off the boat go down here if they’re going internationally they got to go through a little there are customs down there

that’s the library on top of this parking garage
