Juneau Alaska 🏴󠁵󠁳󠁡󠁫󠁿🚶😊Downtown Walking Tour | #juneau #alaska #excursions

We take you from the cruise ship port along the dock shoreline and around downtown Juneau. Get an idea of how Juneau looks before you get to Alaska, and hear my tips and information about the area. Also, take a look at our website where we have a large Alaska Travel and Moving guide with articles, photos, and videos of Juneau and around Alaska.

We have also begun a new travel guide for Alaska using our own content. Alaska businesses do change but from an adventure travel standpoint, nature stays fairly stable there but with some warming changes in the north. Our new guide has videos showing what it’s like to travel the Alaska ferry system AKA the Marine Highway. The link here: https://exploretraveler.com/alaska_travel_and_moving_faq/ will give you an edge since everything is real from our own perspective. We have extensive articles and videos showing businesses and areas of Denali State Park and our extensive photograph collection will also give you an idea of what to expect. Flying to remote locations from Juneau is also common and here is a link to my flights in small aircraft that I did manage to capture from the cockpit of the plane here: https://youtu.be/WGxzxDctk74 Juneau is the gateway to the Alaska Southeast and a short flight to Skagway, Haines or more can be taken for these short flights. The Ferry ride is also available and we like to just walk on and walk off into Skagway since it’s a short walk to the hotels downtown. In Juneau, we recommend the 4 points by Sheraton (Marriott Owned now). In Skagway, we like Sgt. Preston’s and it’s simple, clean, warm, and roomy enough. It’s also a short walk to food and the old Skagway experience year around. Winters are milder and we like unique photography during this time.

juno is a historical it was a seafood city but it’s kind of turned into a large tourist season city at this point

Sailfin dragons are impressive-looking lizards found in the tropical regions of eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and the Philippines. The largest of the agamid family, these water-loving lizards are usually found basking in or near mountain streams. They flee at the first sight of danger, typically running bipedally into the water until they sink and swim away. Their ability to hide underwater for up to an hour helps to ensure any threats pass. Read this blog https://exploretraveler.com/sailfin-dragon-lizards-from-the-philippines/ if you want to know more about Sailfin Dragon Lizards.

The nature of the Philippines is wonderous and full of many creatures to see. This particular lizard is unique in its ability to just hang around and provides many opportunities to take photographs and videos of them once you find them. Our recommendation is to go to South Leyte and maybe around the outskirts of Ormoc City, you can find them.

We normally hire a driver for this kind of trip and always keep your security by being aware of your surroundings. You can fly into Tacloban and then drive south or around the island enjoying a rich nature and very friendly people along the way.
