Juneau Walking Adventures with Moon Dawg Tours

Juneau, Alaska’s state capital, stretches along the Gastineau Channel, framed by snow-capped peaks and thick evergreen forests. This rugged city with its icy waterfalls and crisp, clean air offers more than just wild scenery—it’s a living canvas of Indigenous culture and modern Alaskan life. Moon Dawg Tours brings this unique spirit into sharp focus with custom walking tours led by a 100% local-born Tlingit guide, blending history, storytelling, and photography into a dynamic urban adventure.

Unlike typical sightseeing experiences, Moon Dawg Tours invites travelers to see Juneau through the eyes of someone who grew up in the community. The History and Culture Walk spans 60 to 90 minutes through downtown’s vibrant streets, revealing personal stories, local customs, and evolving traditions of the Tlingit people. Each day features a fresh theme, providing returning guests new layers to uncover about Juneau’s past and present.

Along the way, guests visit hand-selected shops that highlight local artisans and innovators—think Alaska Fudge Co., Mt Juneau Trading Post, and the tech-savvy Juneau Robotics. These stops offer curated shopping and a chance to support businesses rooted in the city’s spirit.

For photography enthusiasts, the 2.5 to 3-hour Photography Tour unlocks the city’s best-kept visual secrets. From subtle details in architecture to sweeping waterfront vistas, the guide offers expert tips in composition and social media presence, making this experience accessible whether you’re a newbie or seasoned shooter. Bonus swag includes exclusive Moon Dawg stickers, a small touch that connects you to this growing family of adventurers.

With tours running rain or shine, Moon Dawg Tours stands out as a cultural bridge in Juneau’s outdoor adventure portfolio. This is an invitation to ditch the guidebook, embrace Juneau’s real stories, and capture moments where traditional knowledge meets contemporary life—all on foot, step by step.
