Mendenhall Glacier Park and Ultimate Whale Watch Combo

Ariela_N, Aug 2026

We had such a great...

We had such a great experience whale watching in Juneau! 🐋 The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip fun from start to finish. They did a great job explaining what we were seeing and made sure everyone had a good view without ever making the experience feel rushed. The scenery alone was incredible, and getting to see the whales out in their natural habitat made it even more memorable. Everything felt organized, comfortable, and well worth it. Definitely one of the highlights of our Alaska trip and something I would recommend to anyone visiting Juneau! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Juneau Wildlife Whale Watching

Molly_S, Aug 2026

Amazing Experience!

We were on the tour with Larry, Griffin and Kacie on the Jay Ellis. Wonderful crew with tons of experience and passion for what they do. They made the tour fun, educational and I got excited more and more throughout the tour as they were able to tell so many stories about the specific whales we were seeing. They knew their ages, their movements, who their babies were, whether they stayed in the area or traveled to Hawaii to warmer water, and so much more! They really knew their stuff! And Griffin was so excited to get snot on by a whale, that we were all hoping we would be the tour to let him check off that bucket list item, but it wasn’t meant to be. Highly recommend you take this tour and see if you can be with Griffin to check off “getting snot on by a whale” 🤣

3hr Private Custom Excursion in Ketchikan for up to 14 people

Daniel_P, Aug 2026

Awesome wildlife excursion!

This was a great excursion. Our tour guide Daniel was incredibly friendly, easy going and knowledgeable. He allowed us to choose our own adventure, which for us was all the wildlife. We saw eagles, bears, otters, salmon and even a whale! It was awesome! He even picked us up from the port and dropped us off at a great restaurant. So easy, and a great bargain (especially compared to what was offered by the cruise line). If you are doing an excursion in Ketchikan, this is the one you want to do!

Amazing!

An amazing tour! TJ and Tamara were friendly, funny, personable, and so knowledgeable! We were lucky enough to see a group of whale bubble net feeding which was amazing! The boat has inside seating but also room to stand outside all the way around the boat so you always get a good view. Tamara even took amazing and shared them all with us to have! Highly recommend!

Ultimate Juneau Whale Watch

Donald_P, Aug 2026

Delivered as Promised

True to life in Juneau, We had it all, rain and fog. However in made for some great whale sightings that we could hope for. We saw, breaching, diving and whales spouts shooting off everywhere. What makes this excursion nice is that all the ships in the water work together to make sure everyone can spot the whales. Our crew was exceptional, both informative and knowledgable. In a nutshell the price was right and the excursion gave us exactly what was promised.

Kenai Fjords and Resurrection Bay Half-Day Wildlife Cruise

Anna_M, Aug 2026

Great tour for seasick peeps!

Incredible tour!! I get sea sick on pretty much any boat so I always look for reviews about how the waters were. There was an 7.5 hour tour and 4 hour tour so I opted for the shorter one and was happy I did but overall did great on this one. I felt it was more than enough time to spot out wildlife. We saw whales, so many puffins, otters, and bald eagles! Was incredible and captain and crew were great. The Fjords is not to miss either-so beautiful and on a cloudy or rainy day even more enchanting. Would recommend this cruise and seasick individuals will probably do well on it!

Full-Day Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise

PangYuan_C, Aug 2026

A day well spent! Highly advise.

Well-run program. There are 4 time options and we did the 7.5 hours which was perfect - not too long and just gave us enough time to see everything (I was happy not to be on the 8.5 hour one) and I think with the 4 hour one, one does not get to see as many fjords. Lunch provided and option to purchase other snacks at reasonable prices. Staff was wonderful. Super informative and the running commentary was great (sometimes a bit hard to understand). Hard to see people throwing up over board. Felt bad for them. Toilets were kind of smelly but a bit to be expected.

Mendenhall Glacier and Whale Watching Tour

Amit_M, Aug 2026

Whale watching and Mendenhall Glacier trip.

Excellent experience. We met the bus driver a short distance from the pier and were dropped off at the Mendenhall glacier. If you hurry you can hike up to the nugget falls which are spectacular. It would be good to add a little time to this stop because the falls are about a 45 min to an hour round trip. The whale watching was the highlight of the trip. Savannah our guide was awesome. Not only did she and Jay (our captain) go over safety details and take us really up close to the whales, they had hot chocolate and snacks on the boat as well. Savannah is very well informed about the whales, their behavior and life cycle. The boat was neat and tidy. There is a rest room on board as well. Overall highly recommended!
