Step off the cruise ship in Juneau with a self-guided audio tour built by a born-and-raised Alaskan, not a faceless tour company. The Ultimate Juneau Experience bundles eight offline GPS tours — from Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls to the Perseverance Trail, Mount Roberts, and a downtown walking tour past the Red Dog Saloon and St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church. Here's how it works: you play the stories on your own phone. As you walk, GPS triggers each stop automatically and hands-free — phone in your pocket, glacier in your face. No live guide, no paper ticket, no rigid bus schedule. Because the Last Frontier runs on zero cell service, every tour works fully offline, no roaming requi...

Juneau's most famous sight, a glacier you can see right from the parking lot. As you arrive, a GPS-triggered audio story plays automatically through your phone, covering the ice's dramatic retreat, the lake it carved, John Muir's 1879 visit, and the rock flour that turns the water that milky blue. Hands-free, at your own pace, fully offline.
45 minutes
2
Nugget Falls
A short walk leads to Nugget Falls, where water plunges hundreds of feet beside the face of Mendenhall Glacier. GPS-triggered audio plays as you reach the falls, telling the story of the glacier's retreat, the icebergs on the lake, and the Arctic terns overhead. No guide, no schedule — just press play and walk.
45 minutes
3
Mount Roberts Trail
The hike locals actually do, climbing through rainforest above downtown Juneau. As you ascend, GPS-triggered audio shares the trail's gold-rush history, its rare ecosystem, and the priest who built the path. The tramway ride down is a separate paid ticket, not included in this audio tour.
2 hours
4
Red Dog Saloon
A Juneau institution and a stop on the downtown walking tour. As you reach it, GPS-triggered audio plays the saloon's colorful history and the tale of the Wyatt Earp revolver that can't quite be Wyatt Earp's revolver. Listen on the street, hands-free — entry and any purchases inside are your own.
10 minutes
5
A wooden Russian Orthodox church an Indigenous community paid for themselves in 1894 — and the reason why isn't the one you'd assume. GPS-triggered audio plays as you reach it, telling the real story. Viewed from the street as part of the self-guided downtown tour; any interior visit is separate.
10 minutes
6
Alaska Governor’s Mansion
A stop on the downtown walking tour. GPS-triggered audio plays as you arrive, covering Juneau's improbable status as a capital no road can reach and the repeated failed attempts to move the government. Viewed from the public street, hands-free.
5 minutes
7
A short loop near Mendenhall where, from July to October, black bears fish for salmon and eagles gather overhead. GPS-triggered audio plays as you walk, explaining the salmon run and the food web in motion. Free to access, explored at your own pace.
20 minutes
8
DIPAC's Macaulay Salmon Hatchery
A stop on the Juneau glacier driving tour where salmon return upstream. GPS-triggered audio explains the salmon cycle that powers all of Southeast Alaska. The hatchery's visitor area charges its own admission, which is not included in this audio tour.
20 minutes
9
Tongass National Forest
The largest temperate rainforest on the planet, surrounding the Juneau-to-Mendenhall corridor. GPS-triggered audio plays as you drive through, covering the forest, the wetlands, and the wildlife along the route.
