Great excursion - Seeing some whales and learning more about them. Was a little choppy weather wise but crew did a great job.

We saw it all! - The shuttle ride over was on time and convenient from the cruise ship. It was cramped, and the a/c was dripping on our heads, the steep steps weren't handicap friendly. However! The driver was very nice and accommodated us as much as she could under the circumstances. When we got there, the boat was in great shape, brand new, spacious and comfortable. The staff was just fantastic, knowledgeable and funny. Dalton, Jamie and Dale were just so much fun and knew how to make it an intimate experience, and not just spotting those gorgeous whales and getting us super close, but could pick out and name each one we saw and explain some of their characteristics and individual personalities. It was truly a classroom on the water. We saw both orcas and humpback 🐋 whales. Probably a dozen of each. It was a rare sunny and warm day in Juneau in general, let alone for a late September day, and the views were gorgeous and water sparkling. It was the makings of a perfect afternoon in Alaska for photography to boot.

Weather was miserable the photo opportunities were excellent. - We took a whale watching tour with Alan, ship's captain, and Dale the ship's Naturalist. The weather was rainy and the seas were rough. Alan did an excellent job narrating the key land marks and working with locals to find pods of whales. Alan is knowledgeable of the local whale pods, the migration patterns and behavior of the pods. Alan identified several individuals within the pods. What was a miserable day for weather Alan made up for in locating the pods and photo opportunities. Thank you for the experience.
