Herbert Glacier
Juneau, USA
Herbert Glacier is a stunning expanse of ice located just outside Juneau, notable for its dramatic blue hues and extensive icefall at its terminus. Visitors arriving typically see towering icebergs and rugged mountains that frame this glacial landscape, a testament to the area's geological history and ongoing natural processes.
The best way to experience the glacier is via boat or kayak tours that allow for closer views and serene moments on the water. Summer is prime time for excursions, when weather conditions are more stable and wildlife sightings, including seals and sea lions, become commonplace. Keep an eye out for calving ice — it’s a fascinating, if sometimes surprising, spectacle.

Helicopter tour and dog sledding on glacier in Juneau
4.8· 98 reviewsFrom ₹89,966Three hours of flying and sledding — landing on a glacier to see crevasses, followed by an authentic dog sledding experience with plenty of time at the dog camp.
“This was unquestionably the highlight of our 11-day trip in Alaska. Our helicopter pilot, Oceana, made even the rainy day enjoyable, and our first helicopter ride was remarkable. On the glacier, Josie, who was training sled dogs for the Iditarod, shared insights about each dog's personality and role. Although this was a significant splurge for us, it was worth every cent. A helpful tip: while we brought all our cold weather gear, they provided everything necessary, including shoe covers, rain pants, and jackets. Knowing this beforehand would have saved us a suitcase. Many others on our ship had tours canceled due to weather, but ours proceeded as planned.”— itravelnewpaths on the Helicopter tour and dog sledding on glacier in Juneau tour
