Worth the price. Had a great time
We had a memorable amazing experience whale watching. Beginning with the bus ride with the lovely and knowledgeable bus driver and her witty personality and informative comments to the boat staff and captain. We had a wonderful experience. The captain and the crew of naturalists made us feel excited about all the whales we were going to see. We saw so many whales!! It truly was a great tour experience. There are a lot of groups to choose from, but I’m so happy we chose Alaska Tales. I would highly recommend them.
The girls made the whole trip a wonderful experience. Captain Michelle made sure all passengers were able to have excellent views of the whales while Claire and Monica were very informative and hospitable. Lexi was very entertaining during the drives to and from the entire tour. 10/10
Krichelle, Nate and Rachel helped us have the most amazing whale watching experience! They were knowledgeable and answered any questions one could have and Captain Krichelle guided us to the best whale watching spot. Best way to spend the day in Juneau!
Pick location was super simple. Krystal was an awesome bus driver. Really helped hype everyone up. Larry, Morgan, and Taylor were terrific. We got to see a group of 4 whales and ataylor knew each of them which made it feel very special.
Christy the driver was amazing! Larry was a great captain as Taylor really made the whale tour complete with all his knowledge. While it was a short trip it was fun. The glacier was the best part.
The tour was so awesome! The crew was great in giving us all the facts about the area and the whales. From our bus driver Crystal to Taylor, Larry & Morgan on the boat everything was wonderful!!
Such a cool experience! We saw several whales and Taylor had lots of good info For us z
Went on the Whale watching tour with Michelle, Claire & Monica. Very interesting and informative talk on the way. We got good views of some whales and information about them. Would recommend!
I appreciated the clear instructions on where to meet and info about the excursion (plus the online discount!). Lexi the driver was funny and informative. Captain Michele was a great driver and kept use safe. Monica and Clair were great in providing info and pointing out the whales. The weather turned out to be great and happy to see several whales although not as close as I’d like. I liked the smaller boat with easier chance to look out the window. Than
