Absolutely amazing!! Lisa, Abby and Captain Buffy were wonderful. Saw several whale spouts, whale breaches and an adorable cluster of sea lions. The crew’s explanations and stories were very interesting, and they even took the time to answer our grandchildren’s questions in a way that the kids could easily understand. Thank you for a wonderful family experience!!

The best whale/wildlife tour possible!!! Sarah and Alicia are super knowledgeable about the whales so they’ll answer any questions. The family had the best experience, seeing Humpbacks and Ocras both up close. Highly recommend!!!!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would see so many whales. No orcas but Beautiful humpbacks. The crew was outstanding and down to earth in explaining the way of the whales! You get what you pay for and this was the highlight of our entire Alaskan vacation.

So incredible! Our crew was super informative and an overall great time. We felt comfortable as soon as we got on the yacht thanks to Mallory and Captain Pete's awesome efforts! Saw bubble feeding and breaching! 10/10

My family booked Luxury Whale Watching Tours for the day we were scheduled to port in Juneau during our Alaskan Cruise- we could not have chosen a more amazing company and crew! It was far more luxurious and enjoyable than we imagined. They gave suggestions for a dinner in town prior to the excursion and arranged to pick us up from the restaurant giving us more time to enjoy downtown Juneau. Everyone that was a part of our experience was so kind and knowledgeable answering all our questions and simply filling our time with great conversation. On the yacht we saw at least five humpback whales breaching and were even fortunate enough to see them bubble net feed. My family didn’t want the excursion to end and spent the rest of our cruise recalling what an amazing experience it was. If you’re considering booking this company I highly recommend them. Our trip would not have been the same if we’d booked through a commercial whale watching tour group. My family has all agreed that no whale watching experience will ever top what we were fortunate enough to experience.

A great experience my family will never forget. Our guide Megan, Boat operator Sergio, and our shuttle driver Shannon were all very friendly and knowledgeable. We loved being the only ones on the boat for a personal experiences. Most important we saw some beautiful whales and made some great memories. Would do it again.
