Ultimate Juneau relógio de baleia

I had been incredibly excited about this whale-watching trip and had high expectations, particularly for the opportunity to see these magnificent animals in their natural environment. We were lucky with the weather, our guide was excellent, and we did get to see whales, which was undoubtedly a fantastic experience. However, I came away feeling quite conflicted about what I had witnessed. The biggest disappointment for me was the sheer number of boats gathered around the whales. At times, there seemed to be boats coming from several directions, following the same animals and repositioning as they moved. Watching it unfold, I couldn’t help feeling that the whales were being stalked rather than simply observed. I completely understand that whale watching is a popular excursion and that operators have regulations and guidelines they are expected to follow. But standing there watching multiple boats tracking the whales left me questioning whether the experience was really as respectful of the wildlife as I had imagined. Perhaps I had built it up too much in my mind, but I had envisaged something much more peaceful — quietly encountering whales in the wild and giving them space. Instead, at times it felt more like a queue of boats chasing a sighting. So, while I’m grateful that we were fortunate enough to see whales and I have no criticism of our guide, the overall experience left me with mixed emotions. Seeing the whales was special; seeing so many boats pursuing them was not. It certainly made me think differently about whale-watching tourism and whether the experience we provide for ourselves is worth the potential disturbance to the animals we have gone there to admire.

This really was the ultimate whale-watching excursion! We saw lots of whales and had such informative guides! It was an incredible day of seeing orcas and humpbacks! I absolutely recommend this excursion!!!!!

Let me just begin with the fact that we had the perfect weather, our tour guide was wonderful. We saw orcas and humpback whales. Not one or two, but a few of them. However, the most amazing part was the whale breaching. Loved it every minute of it. Marine life at its best!

This tour was amazing, seen many whales, and sea life, Our tour guides were amazing. Jade is so knowledgeable and our captain of our tour had the best personality. Highly recommend this tour. You won’t regret it!!!

Easy to find, friendly crew, knowledgeable. Know that there is no guarantee that you will see whales. We did because the ship captains were speaking to one another and we were in the right position on the boat, but some did not based on their boat location.

All the women were great and went out of their way to make sure we all were able to see whales!! XOXO

Incredible excursion, FULL of information & detail! THE BEST captain and assistant-very friendly, professional and SO knowledgeable! Great day for seeing many whales, otters, seals, birds. The additional drone feature is superb-SO many videos of all the whales for a lasting souvenir/reminder of this amazing day on the waters of Icy Strait, Alaska! DON’T miss this wonderful excursion! THANK YOU!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
