Meet your knowledgeable guide for a drive to Chilkoot Lake State Park. This park has it all: a turquoise lake surrounded by snowy mountain peaks, a salmon-filled river flowing into the sea, and important Tlingit cultural sights. In May, June and July, the wildflowers are at their peak and eagles caring for their young in the nest. In late July, the river fills with migrating salmon, and harbor seals follow them up into the river where they go to spawn. As the number of salmon in the river increases, so does the chance of seeing bears along the river, with a good probability of bear sightings from early August through September. As you drive through the park, your guide knows the best places to stop for scenery and the possibility of wildlife spotting. Your guide is equipped with a powerful spotting scope to bring the wildlife in close, and your guide will help interpret the behavior of the various wildlife and explain how the animals fit into the Chilkoot’s complex ecosystem.

What are people saying about Alaska

Northern Lights - Aurora with FREE Photos - Arctic Night Tours

Michele_F, Nov 2026

You need to do this tour!

We loved the tour! We came from Brazil to see the Northern Lights and the team at Arctic Nights provided us with a wonderful night, where besides getting to see lots of auroras, we still took all the photos we wanted and were very well treated with snacks and a delicious dessert to take home at the end of the tour. To top it off, the guides are so energetic! They truly love what they do, it's impossible not to be catch the vibe, making the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend it!

Juneau Shore Excursion Helicopter Tour and Guided Icefield Walk

Patricia_R, Oct 2026

A once in a lifetime trip

Excellent trip, I thought it would not take place as it was raining and I had read that many were cancelled. A very helpful lady in the visitor centre rang and confirmed it was still taking place. The meeting point was easy to find, just near the cable car entrance. A mini bus takes you to the airfield and we saw many bald eagles on the way. I sat at the front with my husband and we got fantastic views. We landed on the ice and had a little walk around, the over boots, they provided, still made it a little slippy, but the pilot helped so we did not miss anything. I would definitely recommend this once in a lifetime trip. The airstrip is just a short drive away and they dropped you off in town, or back at the pickup point. You are sat according to weight, so you might not sit next to your partner.

Mendenhall Glacier Waterfall and Whale Watching Tour

Chris_B, Oct 2026

So many whales - Incredible

The most incredible experience - started with a short trip by coach from the cruise dock to the boat to go searching for whales. There is an observation deck at both the front and back of the boat and snacks are provided. We were so lucky to see humpback whales bubble feeding and around 15 swam straight past the boat, truly a once in a lifetime experience. Even a sea lion swam up close. Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and gave good advice on how best to spot the whales. Then onto the glacier where you can visit the visitors centre and walk to a nice waterfall with good views of the receding glacier. Our driver between stops was very funny and personable. Highly recommend this trip.

3.5 Hour Crowd-Skipping Whale Tour in Juneau, Alaska

Susan_B, Oct 2026

These are the guys to go Whale Watching with

What a great time. This tour was like having our own personal captain and crew. I believe there were only 17 of us on the "full" boat. It was so personalized and we saw whales "bubble net fishing". The crew of 2 put the throttle down to get us out to the site as fast as they could so we could enjoy as much time as possible watching the whales. Don't get on the boat with hundreds of tourist when you can travel with these guys. The few of us had plenty of room to spread out when we got outside of the boat to enjoy the show. I would say it was the highlight of our Alaskan cruise. Thank you!!

Highlight of the trip

Everything went so smoothly from the pickup to the drop off. Andrew was great. He gave us so many interesting tidbits about the Auroras and Alaska in general. The entire crew was very concerned about our comfort and kept us informed when there was activity. They offered many tips on how to get the best pictures with cameras and on our phones. It was nice that they had tripods for whoever needed them. The hot drinks came in handy but I wasn’t hungry enough to try the reindeer sausage. We went to 3 different areas and the sightings and pictures were amazing. It’s definitely cold so dress in layers and don’t forget your hand and toe warmers.

Juneau Wildlife Whale Watching

Luana_T, Oct 2026

Wonderful experience!

Beautiful experience, seeing orcas, whales, and seals up close was very exciting! The young staff, who work with great enthusiasm, were wonderful. Seeing their passion was wonderful! They want you to see them as closely as possible, always safely for the animal and the environment. The silence of waiting for the sighting in the middle of this nature was a truly emotional moment! The only small note I can make is that they should keep in mind that not all participants are English or American and know the language well, and that following them and understanding what they are telling us can be tiring given the speed at which they speak. I recommend this excursion to everyone!

Kenai Fjords National Park Glacier & Wildlife Cruise

Chelsea_F, Sep 2026

Highly recommended, what an amazing crew!

I had a phenomenal experience on this tour with Major Marine Tours. From the start they were incredibly welcoming to everyone on board. It was a rough water day in the gulf, but they were so kind & thoughtful to everyone on board ensuring they were taken care of if they were getting sick. The captain took the smoothest route possible to ensure maximum comfort. It was so appreciated & I know those who felt unwell were extremely well cared for. On the tour we saw so much wildlife! Right out of the harbor we saw a pair of mated eagles. My absolutely favorite thing was seeing a smack of moon jellies & floating over them (I may have shed a tear, they were stunning!). We also saw two black bears on the cliffs, porpoise, seals, sea lions, otters, and mountain goats. We spent 30 minutes at one of the largest glaciers in Alaska & was able to witness it calving several times. On the way to & from we saw several waterfalls & they even dipped us under one! The scenery was STUNNING. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

Bering Sea Crab Fisherman's Tour from Ketchikan

Darci_B, Sep 2026

Best Excursion In Alaska!!!

We were on a cruise that had three ports of call which included this one. If I could only choose one thing to do on my entire trip…. This would absolutely be the one!! From Captain Ron - to Big D - to Dave - and the rest of the crew….. this was a once in a lifetime opportunity!! From the second we stepped on the crab boat….. we felt like part of their family. They had so much knowledge. They shared personal stories and answered any questions. We saw bald eagles and were lucky enough to see a whale. We held crab and sea urchins. My daughter is in a wheelchair. Big D and Dave - as well as the rest of the crew - made sure she was included in the entire experience!!! We all highly recommend this excursion!!! IT IS A MUST!!
