We took a helicopter excursion to a glacier for dog sledding in Juneau, and it was great. You're in Juneau until very late, so it might work out. If you have to tradeoff between whales and the helicopter in Juneau, I'd choose the helicopter. As I said elsewhere, we saw many whales and otters on the Sea Otter and Wildlife Quest excursion in Sitka. So may tradeoffs. In Skagway, we took the White Pass Scenic Railroad trip, and it was very worthwhile. The only thing we ran into was some smoke because of the fires last year. On a clearer day it would have been spectacular.
