Get to know Juneau.
Juneau brings city sights close to Southeast Alaska’s natural landscapes. Mendenhall Glacier outings, whale-watching trips, and time downtown offer very different ways to spend a port day.
Ways to spend your day.
Consider a guided Mendenhall-area visit; take an appropriate wildlife excursion; explore the downtown waterfront and local food.
How we tailor the experience.
We help prioritize one or two experiences around your actual port hours and transport needs. Outdoor plans need flexibility, and wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.

THE SWIFTYBITS DIFFERENCE
Your trip should fit you. So should its value.
We start with your priorities, then compare the details that make a vacation work: the route, the room or cabin, included experiences, transportation, and the overall budget.
Tailored around your life.
A milestone celebration, a multigenerational group, or your first big adventure: we shape the pace and experiences around your interests and preferences.
Value beyond the headline fare.
We compare inclusions and added costs. When eligible group rates, supplier promotions, or special amenities are available, we explain what applies and confirm it in your proposal.
An advisor from start to finish.
We gather your requirements, prepare a proposal for approval, collect authorization, and coordinate with suppliers. You have someone to help bring the moving parts together.
Include Juneau in your travel plans.
We will check the route and available experiences against your preferred dates.
