Where can I store luggage in Juneau?

Juneau is unlike any state capital in the country. You can't even drive here. The only way in is by plane or boat, which means most visitors arrive by cruise ship or float plane with everything they own for the trip stuffed into bags. The town sits wedged between the Gastineau Channel and mountains so steep they look like they're about to tip over. It's small, walkable and wildly beautiful.

Most people come for the glaciers, and Mendenhall Glacier is the big draw. It's about 12 miles from downtown and you can see it calving chunks of ice right from the visitor centre. Mount Roberts Tramway takes you 1,800 feet up for views of the channel and surrounding peaks. Back at sea level, the Red Dog Saloon has been pouring drinks for tourists and locals since the 1970s. Glacier Gardens is a rainforest botanical garden where they've turned old-growth stumps into upside-down flower towers. And then there's the whale watching. Humpbacks feed in these waters all summer long.

All of that is way better without luggage. BagsAway has storage locations in Juneau inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your bags and go see a glacier or catch a whale. Takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

BagsAway: Luggage Storage Across Juneau

BagsAway works like Airbnb but for your bags. We partner with local shops, cafes, hotels and businesses that have safe space to store your stuff. Each location is vetted, your bags get sealed and tagged, and everything is insured up to $1,200. No lockers, no coins, no hassle.

Juneau gets over a million cruise ship passengers every summer, and most of them have a few hours to explore before their ship leaves. That's not a lot of time, and dragging bags through downtown or out to Mendenhall Glacier makes it worse. You want to be hiking trails, eating king crab and browsing the shops on South Franklin Street, not babysitting a suitcase.

Where to find luggage storage in Juneau

Juneau is compact, so you're never far from anything. Here's where our BagDrop locations make the most sense:

Downtown and the Cruise Ship Terminal

This is where most visitors land. The Egan Drive cruise ship terminal and the downtown docks are right next to each other, and South Franklin Street runs along the waterfront with shops, restaurants and bars. When four or five ships are in port at the same time, downtown Juneau gets packed. The sidewalks are narrow and the streets are hilly. Trying to navigate that with luggage is no fun. Drop your bags at a BagDrop near the port and you'll move through the crowds a lot easier.

Mendenhall Valley

Mendenhall Glacier is the top attraction in Juneau and it sits out in the valley about 12 miles from downtown. The visitor centre has great views of the glacier and Nugget Falls, and there are several hiking trails in the area. If you're heading out here for a few hours, it's better to leave your bags closer to town so you're not lugging them on a bus or in a rental car. Store them before you go and pick them up on your way back.

Mount Roberts Tramway Area

The tramway base station is right downtown near the cruise docks. It takes you up 1,800 feet in about six minutes, and at the top there's a nature centre, hiking trails and a restaurant with views of the Gastineau Channel. You'll want free hands for the trails and photos. A BagDrop nearby lets you ride the tram and hike without worrying about your stuff.

South Franklin Street and the Waterfront

South Franklin is the main drag for tourists in Juneau. It's lined with souvenir shops, jewellery stores, bars like the Red Dog Saloon, and seafood restaurants. The street gets shoulder-to-shoulder during cruise season. If you're spending a few hours shopping and eating, you don't want to be that person blocking the aisle with a roller bag.

Other luggage storage options in Juneau

Juneau is small, so your options outside BagsAway are limited. Here's what's out there:

Juneau International Airport (JNU)

JNU is a small regional airport and it doesn't have public luggage lockers or a storage service. If you've got time between your flight and a cruise or tour, a BagsAway BagDrop downtown is the way to go. The airport is only about 10 minutes from the centre of town by car.

Alaska Marine Highway ferry terminal

The Auke Bay ferry terminal is about 14 miles from downtown. There's no luggage storage at the terminal itself. If you're arriving by ferry and want to explore before settling in, book a BagDrop in town and take a taxi or bus in.

Hotel storage

Some Juneau hotels will hold bags for current guests before check-in or after check-out. But the hotel options in Juneau are limited and they fill up fast during cruise season. If you're not a guest, you're unlikely to find a hotel willing to store your stuff. BagsAway gives you a guaranteed spot with insurance.
