Gold Creek Salmon Bake
Salmon Bake at Gold Creek
October 04, 2023
The area was just north out of town. A quick buss ride so no chance of missing the ships departure.
The salmon cooked over an open fire was great and they provided everything else to go with it. The grounds were right next to the creek so you could hear the rushing water as you ate. About 75 yards up the creed was a very nice water fall. It was worth the short walk

Yummy salmon & beautiful scenery
September 04, 2023
Written directions on where to meet and especially what our check in gal would be wearing was very helpful. The bus ride to the site was informing along the way. The surrounding area at the salmon bake was breathtaking. We were allowed to return to town or the ship at our own pace which was perfect.

Beyond expectations in beauty of area, exceptional food, creek and waterfall on a beautiful trail for after dinner walk and service was friendly and attentive. A plus… three cubs climbing in the trees across from creek. This excursion was one of the highlights of my trip.

Travel accommodation was pleasant and informative. Not hard to access from ship. Set up at the creek was clean and efficient! Benches a bit awkward for the average person - a little tight to get seated! Pleasant day

The setting was unique and even though it was close to town, we felt like we were secluded. The Salmon (with sauce) was so good as well as the rest of the food. We enjoyed ourselves very much

Salmon Bake, perfect!

Best salmon I’ve ever eaten. The camp atmosphere, and all the food was delicious.
My wife loved the gold panning. Could not get her to leave, now I know what gold fever is.
Highly recommend tour!

Yummy food and a lovely setting
August 30, 2022
Excellent, excellent cuisine and the blueberry cake was amazing! The setting was lovely, right next to a creek with a waterfall sever hundred yards up. There were overhead lights, wine and beer (for purchase), and we enjoyed the musician. Perfect way to end the whale watching tour!

The best wild caught Alaskan salmon I have eaten. I had five servings and wish I could have them everyday. The hot apple cider was delicious and so were the other dishes. Thumbs up for the Chef!

We were absolutely impressed with this excursion. From the bus driver with her humour and knowledge to the whole experience. The food was fantastic and the location was perfect ! Lots of choices on the buffet , no need to go hungry! Then we were dropped off right at our ship no long walk required! We would definitely recommend this to anyone going to Juneau!! Well done

The food was delicious, the best salmon I’ve ever tasted. It was cooked over a wood fire with a glaze. The rest of the food was good too. It was in a beautiful wooded setting. A short walk took you to some beautiful waterfalls. The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is there was supposed to be native Alaskan live entertainment but there was none. Also the dessert was a bit disappointing.

Great Salmon
September 12, 2019
Large serving area, plenty of tables. Great salmon with a basting sauce that was divine. setting was wooded and very pleasant, short stroll to a waterfall. Clean restrooms and a gift shop. The only disappointment was no live music at the time, dictated by town city ordinance.

The salmon bake was a lot of fun. The food was good, and the event space was really beautiful. There was a waterfall nearby where we could see live salmon swimming upstream. We also enjoyed the area for roasting marshmallows over a fire. Thanks for a great time!

Great salmon and a great venue
June 04, 2019
The food was great and the outdoor venue was beautiful.
It would have been nice if our shuttle van had taken the back streets to the venue so we could see the Governor’s home up close instead of pointing it out from a distance between two government office buildings

We were skeptical when we were driven into a residential area of apartments, but the gold creek salmon bake is a beautiful hidden gem in Juneau! It was wonderful, the food was excellent and most of it is gluten free, of the whole buffet there were only 3 items that weren’t (cornbread, couscous & the cake). The salmon was perfect and unlimited, the walk along the creek is a nice time after eating and very well maintained, the staff were very welcoming, the eating area very clean, well kept & stocked. We loved it and would highly recommend!

This was one of the better excursions that we did in Alaska. It was a surprise for my 92 year old mom who loves salmon. It was a short trip from the pick up spot and from the boat and the location of the Salmon Bake was beautiful. The food was delicious and the entertainment extraordinary. We loved him and he was very cordial and social, chatting with my mom when I returned from marshmallow roasting. It was just a short walk to a beautiful waterfall and all eating areas were covered making the rain no issue. I would recommend this excursion to everyone.

Need a better way of identifying where the tours will assemble at the start. Frustrating on both the Salmon Bake and the Crab Feast (the latter was eventually cancelled due to weather) however I never found the starting point. Description in the tickets are extremely poor!
