Top 10 Must-Do Activities in Juneau, Alaska [S1-E34]

[@Ellangellemni]

Stop making me cry! LOL How is it two "outsiders" could teach me more about my home state than I knew, fill me with even more pride about than I thought I could feel, and I knew a lot and beam with pride already! It's like you are ... what is it called ... uh ... you know ... like ... TRUE ARTISTS ... or sumthin'. Go figure. I'm truly grateful you have spent so much time focused on this wonderful place, dove into every season (all two of them!) and more regions than most people go, and captured so much of the essence of the people and the place. There will be so many places that entice you along the way South, but I hope you'll come back, either as guest or as citizens. After all, as comprehensive as you've been, there is still SO much more of Alaska.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

This means SO MUCH, Jack. Thank you 🙏

[@marthapradie8810]

I love Alaska I have taken 9 cruises up there….everything is beautiful….you always discover something new every time….

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Nine cruises? That’s amazing! We agree there’s always something new to discover in Alaska! 🙂

[@washingtonbob49]

Wonderful...wonderful....wonderful. Simply breathtaking photography and video along with a soothing soundtrack that accents it all and the commentary that ties this story together! Thank you so very much Cora and Jose...Juneau is so lucky to have you visit and record all that you saw. I will be back there in the Summer of '25 to once again spend time in my beloved Alaska.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Can't wait for your return in 2025! You'll have so much fun!

[@edwardmiller6353]

Great video! your narration to the scenes adds tons to the value!! Thanks!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We appreciate that!

[@SuzanneLee-s3y]

A big thank you to Cora and Jose for sharing another amazing adventure. Juneau looks like a beautiful city to visit.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

It really is! Thanks for coming along with us 😊

[@hdsncnty]

Most comprehensive yet natural review of Juneau. So refreshing and full of important, relevant info. Thanks for great content that is truly educational, understandable, and not just regurgitated hogwash!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

This is amazing feedback. Thank you!

[@alexjohnsom7378]

Omg ...I am the one who commented on one of your other amazing videos . First of all you have over one million views and you took the time back to write a follower I've never even seen that before with videos with way less views then yours . Sometimes people are going through something and ro feel kindness means the world so I really appreciate that .. second there really isn't anything produced by hollywood better then this . I mean wow ... the native culture and how much respect and love you send to them in your videos the history of russia and the natives you cannot find this information anywhere else online because i have looked and hard. It's so nice to be right about such good people as yourself the vibe the energy to know it is all true it just makee me happy to know people like you still exist. All that aside lol when you decide to make all this into a movie you just let me know what support you need or to share it with everyone i know I am there! Thank you again, just freaking incredible....!!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We are so glad you are enjoying our videos! We really appreciate the people who take the time to leave wonderful comments like yours, so we try to reply to as many comments as possible. Thanks again for taking the time to send us such a wonderful comment and thank you for showing appreciation for the work we do!😊

[@JAOM]

This channel beats Nat Geo Hands down and this is only the second video I am watching. Need to wind back to first episode. Excellent job guys. Fantastic videography, excellent story telling.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

😊 It's really making us smile knowing that you are enjoying the journey!

[@robertmaynard4881]

Very VERY nicely done. Lived in Juneau from 1975-1992 (before glacier gardens) (and am still involved in come community activities). You captured the nature of the area as I remember it (including the “stoic” upper downtown). One of the best areas in the world.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Wow thank you for sharing and thank you for watching. We really enjoyed Juneau, it's such a beautiful place!

[@Raj-fx5fn]

I just returned from my Alaska Cruise. Seriously, the best decision I made. Just Wow. Due to the short time frame couldn't cover more of Juneau. Overall Insane!!! Loved every moment of mother nature's beauty. You have covered it more extensively which helped me to understand it better. Thank you.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

That landscape sure knocks your socks off, right? And it’s so hard to capture in photos and video! So happy you had an awesome time.

[@Raj-fx5fn]

@@ArtWeThereYet Exactly how do you capture all these in photos and videos. I tried my best though. You need to be there to feel and experience it for sure. It's surreal!!!!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

100%. We keep trying to explain this to family and friends. The footage just KINDA does it justice!

[@ronkirk5099]

I lived in Juneau for 3 months during the fall back in the early '70's. I visited again a couple years ago during a kayak trip on the inside passage from Seattle to Skagway, and man, what a contrast! I think there were at least 5 cruise ships in port and I couldn't get out of there quick enough and back to primitive camping in the remote areas of the passage.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Wait…a kayak trip from SEATTLE to SKAGWAY?!? That sounds AMAZING!

[@shannongibson861]

Thank you for providing such an educational resource. Heading to Juneau next week and your video provides just the right amount of information!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kelleyjewell3640]

That sculpture of the humpback gave me chills! Can’t wait to go back to Juneau to see that…and eat dumplings! Jose, I really appreciate how you incorporate moving shots with still shots. It makes such a nice flow to the videos. As always….well done, you two! ❤

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We are so happy you enjoyed this video! The sculpture of the humpback was our favorite thing on our walk along the shore!

[@nancycurtis3964]

Beautifully shot and edited. I was briefly in Juneau in August, to board NG Venture and experience the nooks and crannies of the Inside Passage. I'll need to go again! (I also enjoyed your NG Seabird video!)

[@ArtWeThereYet]

So happy you got to experience the Inside Pasaage with Lindblad as well! What a beautiful experience, right?

[@nancycurtis3964]

@@ArtWeThereYet we did not see any Orcas, but did experience the "whale-a-palooza" of being surrounded by humpbacks! And, a "record bear-sighting" day! And, eagles! So. Many. Eagles!! It was an amazing experience!

[@dylanseaman5163]

thank you. I lived in JNU for alongtime. I also work as a travel tour guide. I didnt realize you two live in a home on wheels. Nice.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Must have been some good years living in Juneau! And yep, we live in a bus house!

[@mwbeau3122]

Thank you for sharing the beauty, joy & positivity of your travels, a welcome change from all the negativity these days. Thanx - Mike & Wanda

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching, it makes us very happy to know you are enjoying our videos! 😊

[@carolguezen5829]

Thank you to both of you for another incredible entertaining and educational video! I could listen and watch your videos for hours and hours

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Wow, thank you!

[@ronjesche689]

We have loved this series. Will be travelling from Australia next month and spending 3 weeks in a motorhome leaving from Anchorage, your videos have been very useful. Looking forward to following you on your way to Argentina, we were there as the pandemic was declared.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yay! So happy this series was helpful! You are going to LOVE Alaska!

[@MoaRider]

The more I hear about Alaska, Juneau in particular, the more enthralled I become. I think I very much would like to visit and maybe even move there one day. Seems like a lovely place to raise a child. Thanks for the indepth view into Juneau.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Agreed! We were really intrigued by Juneau. Kinda has it all!

[@HikeandBikeWesternAustralia]

Beautifully narrated ❤

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you! 🙂

[@HikeandBikeWesternAustralia]

@@ArtWeThereYetno videos on Skagway ???

That will be coming soon 🙂

[@tacrewgirl]

Another great video. I always like how you showcase Alaska Native culture. Looks like you had a great time.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thanks Lisa! We really enjoyed got there. Expensive though…

[@javig5045]

Cora & Jose I"m with you on this one as well, and all that native art is so beautiful, reminds me of all that Indian art here in the lower 48 of course each has its own flavor and characteristics, but bottom line...beautiful, I sure envy you on those hikes I cannot do anymore, love your content....Javi G. Tucson, Az

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hi Javi! Oh we’re both so happy you like this one as well! So happy we can bring you along with us 😊

Beautiful work you two, such content and a regal experience!?

Thanks for the kind compliment and feedback!

[@ericawheeler7392]

Your video is like watching Nat Geo. Love it! Really great job, quality and learned a ton :)

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Wow, what a compliment. Thank you!

[@derekmefford2981]

I'm truly sad you're leaving Alaska but excited to follow your journey. I'm the haul road trucker who honked and waved while you finished your Dalton Highway adventure at the one mile sign. I know you already have your adventure planned but I would highly recommend dropping down the west side of the Olympic peninsula on your journey. I'm originally from westport Washington and would love to see your take on the rainforest of western Washington

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Oh man, thanks for that wave! It made our day :)

[@Kelly.BagsPackedFamily]

Love this 🎉 Can’t wait to explore this area of Alaska someday. It looks so beautiful.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

It really is!

[@Holmesawayfromhome]

Hello fellow KZbinrs! My wife and I stumbled across some of your Alaskan videos and absolutely enjoyed your videos! Great cinematography and narrations! We just had to subscribe and follow! We started our channel this year and are pre planning our Alaskan videos and trip now! Your tips were amazing and we learned so much! Great job, hopefully we cross paths one day! 😁 Jeff Holmes

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thanks for the kind words Jeff! We’re so glad you enjoyed our videos! We love hearing about other travelers! We’ll definitely check out your channel, good luck to you guys on your KZbin journey! 😊

[@davidduncan1733]

Helloooo!😊 Loving your channel guys, I'm new to it and really enjoying the content...I just need to ask, that blue/brown (or is it grey/brown?) rucksack you are wearing, I love it! Where can I maybe find it?!🙏😊

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Welcome!! We are so happy you are enjoying our videos! You can find the ruksack on Amazon.

[@sherrymejia5759]

Great video , very well done

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you very much!

[@hed_gilboa]

Fantastic!!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you! 🙂

[@mcobalbuena]

hi. thanks a lot for sharing. May I know what travel camera did you use for this video?

[@ArtWeThereYet]

You bet! Our full gear list is in the video description 👍

[@ArtWeThereYet]

For this particular video we mostly used the Canon R5

[@mcobalbuena]

@@ArtWeThereYet thanks for replying back

[@KevinWingate-j1f]

Great Video of Juneau, Wished you would made mention of Patsy Ann on the Boardwalk.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yes, we knew about Patsy Ann but ran out of filming time!

[@alfredodejuan390]

Really an interesting place! But I hope to see Cora fishing soon.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We'll be going to McCarthy next week, hopefully we can do some fishing together there! And if we do we'll definitely include that in a video :)

[@susahbetullah1979]

Very nice and professionally done. It would be great if you included the price as well. Thumbs up

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We thought about that, but the issue is that tour prices change every year. So we decided to just give the link, so folks can get accurate pricing info. We would hate to misinform!

[@lhh0131]

Hi! We think we'll be renting a car in Juneau but only really have 5-6 hours. Mendenhall Glacier is top priority, then maybe Douglas Island or Eagle Lake , any other recs?? Also where did you get that orange jacket, love it!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hey! Definitely keep Mendenhall Glacier at the top of your list! Since we were without a vehicle, we were pretty bound to the bus system in Juneau, so we stuck around town except for the glacier and botanical garden excursions. I think if you have only 5-6 hours, going to the glacier is a great idea, and then spend your final hours exploring downtown and walking up the hill towards the capitol. It really is a great walking city! Oh, and this is the jacket! rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/vhP5LGHEmY

[@AgentTrust]

❤ thank you

[@ArtWeThereYet]

You're welcome 😊

[@patricktracy1966]

Is it legal to fly a drone at the glacier?

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yes, in this particular area it is legal because it is not part of a National Park. But you have to be careful flying over the glacier since there a lot of helicopters and airplanes doing tours on the glacier.

[@donnawood271]

You know Juno is beautiful, but I can tell you one thing I’ve been 14 times and I did the five glacier and the lodge where they float plain flies you over it’s a three hour top tour that June has to offer because you get to see five glaciers from the air And they take you down over into it to where you feel like you can touch the glacier then you go to this lodge that the only way you can get to it is through floatplane you can’t get there by boat, but it’s very very very, very difficult and you have Fresh food, salmon you I got to meet Hans the bear Wild beautiful waterfall. I mean, if I don’t do anything else when I go to June, I will do that every single time that was absolutely amazing and the lodge sits directly in front of a glacier you could walk to it, just amazing. Go on and pull up Wings airway. It’s on Facebook. It is amazing.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

That sounds amazing!

[@RazaAli-l3h]

Are you sure ??? Alaska is a beautiful place as whole…

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Sorry, sure about what? We agree AK as a whole is spectacular. That’s why we came for 3 months and stayed for two years 🥰🥰

[@extravaganza369]

[@jamesj7238]

this climate activist fails to tell you that this glacier has been receding for thousands of years, not just the last several decades.
