Meet Cindee

Cindee is passionate about sharing Alaska’s natural beauty and Indigenous food traditions through immersive experiences rooted in place. During her rainforest and culinary experiences, guests explore Southeast Alaska’s coastal landscapes, learn about local history and seasonal ingredients, and enjoy moments of connection through nature and mindfulness. Cindee forages ingredients such as spruce tips, mushrooms, and wild berries and incorporates her deep local knowledge to help guests discover a more authentic side of Alaska beyond the usual tourist path.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

In-home meal: (2-10 guests) Experience Alaska beyond sightseeing on this private Juneau rainforest and culinary experience that combines nature, Indigenous stories, mindfulness, and local food. Enjoy convenient roundtrip transportation from your hotel, vacation rental, or another Juneau location before setting off to explore Southeast Alaska. At the beginning of your experience, receive a refreshing bottle of infused Alaskan water as a gift to enjoy throughout your journey. Take in breathtaking views of the Mendenhall Glacier and surrounding mountains before heading into Alaska’s temperate rainforest. During this immersive experience, you’ll spend approximately 1.5 hours outdoors and walk a little over 1 mile beneath towering Sitka spruce and hemlock trees while learning about Indigenous traditions, native plants, seasonal harvesting practices, and the deep connection local communities have with these lands and waters. Depending on the season, you may even discover wild treasures such as blueberries growing along the trail. Continue to the shoreline for a peaceful guided mindfulness meditation by the ocean designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and experience Alaska through all your senses. Camping chairs are provided for comfort while relaxing on the beach. After your time in nature, return to downtown Juneau to enjoy a locally inspired meal created by a local chef at the Crystal Saloon. Your meal features smoked salmon chowder made with locally caught fresh salmon, a cranberry spinach salad with house-made vinaigrette, and a canned blueberry mojito from Denali Brewing Company. This 3.5-hour private Alaska experience offers a meaningful way to connect with Southeast Alaska’s landscapes, culture, and food while creating memories that go far beyond a typical tour. Roundtrip transfers and gratuities are included, so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience. Guests must be able to walk independently for a little over 1 mile on uneven forest terrain. Southeast Alaska weather can change quickly, so a rain jacket and waterproof shoes are strongly recommended. Camping chairs are provided for your comfort while sitting on the beach.

Notes: Looking for a later start? Cindee also offers a 1:00pm experience. If you would prefer this timing, please mention it in your booking request.
