Description
The Coastal Rainforest Segway Experience is a small-group Juneau shore excursion that combines scenic coastline, rainforest trails, and wildlife viewing in one guided adventure. Designed for cruise guests who want to see more than the busy downtown waterfront, this eco-friendly Segway tour takes you beyond the typical sightseeing stops and into the landscapes that define Alaska’s capital city.
Your adventure begins with pickup near your cruise ship in downtown Juneau. After a personalized, hands-on Segway lesson you'll be riding confidently within minutes. Once underway, follow your guide along the edge of Lynn Canal, where mountain-lined waters create a striking backdrop. A clear day reveals distant icefields, including views toward the Mendenhall Glacier. Wildlife is frequently seen in this area—watch the shoreline and treetops for eagles, scan the water for seals, and keep an eye out for whales surfacing offshore.
The route includes time at a quiet beach where you can pause, enjoy locally sourced snacks and salmon dip, and soak in the peaceful setting. A short walk along a rainforest path—popular with locals—adds another dimension, winding through towering trees and dense greenery that define the Tongass National Forest. With a relaxed pace and expert guidance, it’s an easy, engaging way to experience Juneau’s wild side beyond the crowds.
