We did the 3 glacier sightsee while our ship was in port for the day. We managed a brief clearing of the weather for our sortie. The scenery is spectacular, the planes are well maintained and the staff professional. We had the added bonus of watching the planes from our stateroom balcony in the afternoon. A real treat.

Our float plane flight over the glaciers was stunning. These massive formations simply exuded strength and unfathomable power. The glimpses of the indigo coloured, steel like, ice which had been exposed by rain were simply gorgeous from our float plane. The landing on the Taku lake, our veritable feast of good wine and freshly caught and barbequed Sockeye salmon was... More

We (2 adults & 2 10 year old boys) chose this as an excursion on our July 2012 Disney cruise and I am glad we did. We flew from Juneau on a great float plane and got to see a lot of amazing sites on the way to the lodge. The overview given during the flight was great and the... More

Alaska cruise is always on my wish list and I did the cruise with clelebrity century in september 2012. All my friends advised me to have lunch at the Taku glacier lodge before the trip . Thanks to them this trip is worth every penny ! It was breathtaking views all the way from Junea on the spectacular 12 seater... More

I've wanted to visit Alaska for years and when I finally had the opportunity to take the Princess cruise I was ecstatic and decided to pick the excursions that would give me (oh, and my husband) the experience I had hoped for. The float plan and feast at Taku Lodge did not disappoint. We picked up the plane after a... More

This is an expensive trip but worth every penny. We travelled in a 12 seater sea plane on a short 20 minute flight over the glacier to have lunch at the taku cabin. The weather was clear and all the seats are single window seats, so we had beautiful views. The lunch was great and the black bears ( a... More

It is about 20 minute flight from Juneau to Taku Glacier Lodge. Although I had hoped to see more glaciers, we only saw Taku Glacier. The advertisement states you will see five "glaciers (advancing and receding)". The feast was good but hurried because the plane was due to pick us back up in an hour. So, it was not the... More

The Float Plane Tour in Juneau was amazing. There is room for 10 on each plane and everyone has a window seat. Headphones deliver a very informative narrative for all the sites you see along the way. Our tour didn't include the stop at Taku Glacier, but we will definitely go there next time we are in the area. Staff... More

The floatplane ride was a real thrill and very smooth. Less scary than the helicopter ride I had taken the day before. The Taku Glacier Lodge was an "oasis in the glacier area". The views are so spectacular. Lunch was delicious. My husband was in Alaska before and always talked about the great salmon he had. At home it never... More
