I had so much fun on the boat with the lovely couple that runs this family-owned business. The boat is huge with restroom, drinks, snacks, open area in the back and covered seating area. Binoculars are also provided to help spot the whales. The captain went to many places and we spotted 5 whales in our expedition. Highly recommend to everyone.

Saw lots of whales! Both guides were lovely and helpful with spotting and identifying specific whales. Plus the group was very small so you can really enjoy the experience, rather than being crowded out of a view. Highly recommended! Thanks for a great afternoon ladies.

      This is a start up company just getting situated with tours in Juneau. Husband and wife also run tours in Hawaii which is super cool! They are in the process of getting social media sites up and running for Juneau tours. With that said, as you research you will come to realize they are indeed legit and beat the prices of others by a long-shot! I hands down recommend them for a whale watch tour. We had an amazing time. The owner picked us up from the port. Easy peasy! Very nice guy. Made sure we were back on time. On our way to the marina, he provided information about Juneau, wild life, the glacier etc. Once we got to the marina he introduced us to our naturalist Aliya. Super knowledgeable! Then we met Libby, our captain. Also extremely knowledgeable. You go girls!! We had a small Group of 12! We had an absolutely amazing time and they answered any questions we had. Tour guides can make or break you excursion. We were very lucky to have them both! We did get to see Sasha and her calf. She’s something else! Iykyk!!! Hide and seek for a few hours but she didn’t not Disappoint! Absolutely mesmerizing to see. If you get the opportunity to do this tour, highly recommended for a wonderful experience. Thank you all be being so accommodating! All the best on your new adventure!!

      Awesome

      Aliyah and Libby went out of their way to make sure our trip was enjoyable. We were their last trip of the 2025 season and saw a LOT of whales, seals, sea lions, false orcas. We would HIGHLY recommend this organization for whale watching!

      Great trip.lots of whales

      Captains Josh and Libby are very knowledgeable. They explained what to look for. We even got to see the whales breach.

      Best whale watching in Alaska!

      Adam_T, Aug 2025
      Outstanding whale watching! Best boat and crew you can get! Since we were a small party we got a brand new boat and had only 6 people total on board. So great to keep it more personal! The captain and tour guide made sure to push the time as far as they could until we finally hit the most memorable moment ever! Whales everywhere and right up to the boat!! They said they’ve not had that in years! Boat ride was about two hours. Inside cabin to sit in. Had a bathroom. Lots of windows. Back deck to see up close as well as front!

      Charter Juneau Whale Watching

      Everything was great from the booking thru Viator.com, pickup at the pier and return to boat on time. The tour boat was for up to 20 passengers so not crowded at all. The drivers of the shuttle and boat were very personable and shared their extensive knowledge of orcas and whales. We had read comments before the cruise that you could see a lot of whales and orcas from the ship. This was not the case for us so it was a last minute decision to book a tour in hopes of seeing some of these magnificent creatures. AND the price was reasonable, something to consider when you have a family of 7 or 8.
