About this tour
Turn Juneau’s scenic drive into a story-filled journey along 70 miles of Southeast Alaska. This self-guided Juneau Scenic Drive Audio Tour follows a route past glacier viewpoints, Eagle Beach, the Shrine of St. Therese, Amalga ghost town, and the sunken Treadwell gold mine, with 42 GPS-triggered stories to bring the landscape and its history to life.
Listen hands-free as you drive, with tales of Áakʼw Ḵwáan history, the wreck of the Princess Sophia, and the gold rush that shaped the region. Audio and maps work offline once downloaded, and written transcripts and multilingual translations are available in the app. Connect through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or Bluetooth, then pause to explore whenever a view catches your eye. The tour takes about 2 to 4 hours, and you can drive either direction or continue another day. One purchase covers everyone in your vehicle, with unlimited lifetime access.
This is an app-based experience, not a live-guided tour; bring your own phone and vehicle. Set up in about 2 minutes using the instructions in your ticket or confirmation email, then let the Juneau Scenic Drive Audio Tour guide your own Alaska adventure.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 2.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Juneau
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.0.
