Absolutely fantastic from the beginning at easy check in, the modern bus ride operated by Dylan and the whale watch tour. Seen multiple whales up close. Just a great experience overall. Highly recommend.
Fantastic opportunity grabbed tickets at the kiosk on the dock, 20min later we are off on the green bus with the best driver ever, lots of stories, jokes, arriving at the marina we were onto the boat without delay. 2 hours on the water we got super lucky and saw whales feeding, breaching, great photo opportunities. The boat captained by Brenden, and supported by Nate and Alea. Bucket list adventure complete. Oh and for the Bus driver, it’s me the Thong guy!
The crew was amazing. Each of them where knowledgeable on their own way. It made it unique with who you talked to. Got close to the whales. Life changing experience.
We had an amazing experience! We saw so many whales, and it was truly unforgettable. The crew was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They shared lots of interesting information and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Definitely one of the highlights of our Alaska trip!
Amazing Trip Friendly and Lovely crew Highly recommended
Absolutely fantastic whale-watching experience! 🐋 We were incredibly lucky to see humpback whales breaching the water — it was truly amazing and something we’ll never forget. The whole trip was brilliantly organised, and the staff were absolutely fabulous, funny and so welcoming. A special mention to Brendan, Nate and Alea who made the experience even more enjoyable. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend! ⭐️🐋
We had a great day with Ash, Monica, they did a great job teaching us about the whales, their behaviors and Capt James somehow always managed to keep us pointed in the right direction. This is a local company, and it was easy to book with them, right off the cruise ship. The transfer to the tour was very easy and ran like clockwork. Great value and well worth your time.
I was a little skeptical of actually seeing any whales but was pleasantly surprised that was wrong. We saw a lot of them and Ash had explained what to look for which was very helpful. The bus driver was entertaining and the boat crew was friendly & knowledgeable. I’m glad I took the tour!
We had an incredible whale-watching experience! We were lucky enough to see bubble-net feeding, which was truly unforgettable. Nate, Brenden, and Alea were wonderful—friendly, informative, and great with our family. They shared so much interesting information about the whales and kept the kids entertained throughout the excursion. The kids absolutely loved it, and we would highly recommend this tour to families visiting Juneau
Brenden, Nate and Alda were knowledgeable and we were able to see a group of whales bubble feeding as well as individuals feeding. Safe and informative trip!
