Wonderful Whale Watching

Great tour. Knowledgeable guides and good captain. The boat was a nice double decker with large viewing windows and access to the open air decks. We saw a family of Orcas and several humpbacks. Stopped briefly for pictures with the Mendenhall glacier.

Excellent Experience

We were picked up from ship and shuttled to a harbor where we got on a boat. Excellent wildlife spotting. We saw orcas, humpbacks, bald eagles, seals, and even mama bear and three cubs. The best part about this tour was how everyone, from the bus drivers to the boat captain to the naturalists were so knowledgeable and kind and always willing to help spot more wildlife. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic Whale Watching Tour

Fantastic whale watching trip 🐳. Great communication from James — our ship was slightly late docking, but it was no issue at all. The experience itself was absolutely incredible and the highlight of our Alaska trip. We wanted a smaller boat experience, and it was exactly what we got. Although we visited early in the humpback season, we still had some amazing wildlife encounters. TJ and Andrew were both enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We also loved that wildlife photos were AirDropped to us afterwards — such a lovely touch. Overall, an amazing experience, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Juneau.

What a wonderful day we...

What a wonderful day we had on this tour! Hats off to Kathy, Tess, Coral, and our boat's pilot (sorry I forgot his name). The boat was comfortable, the sights were spectacular, and the enthusiasm of the crew was delightful and contagious. We visited a charming lighthouse before searching for whales. We were rewarded with sights of sea otters, eagles, and plenty of whales. Mother Nature spoiled us today! The crew was so friendly and knowledgeable and eager to share their information with us. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour.
