Smaller boats are better - We had a great time! They have smaller boats so you don’t have 50 people crowding you out. . Very knowledgeable crew about the whales and about Juneau. I loved this excursion!!

Great time - My grandson and I had a great time on this whale watch. The captain and the naturist were wonderful, funny and informative. We saw an orca and multiple humpbacks. Some were spy hopping and playing around. It was awsome

Great experience, don’t miss it! - We have travelled the world seeking the elusive whales. Finally, thanks to our skipper Ray and terrific onboard naturalist Nic, we saw several! The trip was part of a 45th wedding anniversary tour and worth waiting 45 years for! We loved it.

Best Whale Watching Tour in Alaska - Captain Dan and Naturalist Michiko were wonderful and this is one of the best tours in Alaska. They provided great descriptions of the animals and explained so much about Alaska wildlife patterns and habitats. They answered many questions and sought out opportunities for our group to see so many animals. We saw over six humpback whales, numerous sea lions and many other animals. We highly recommend this tour. Ask for Captain Dan and Michiko.

Awesome with lots of whales - Everything was better than expected. Newer boats with plenty of good viewing from enclosed spaces (indoor and outdoor). We were worried about rain but this set up was perfect. Friendly staff with drinks and snacks kept everyone focused on the whales - which we saw lots of! Definitely would book again.
