Valskådningsäventyr i Juneau

Want an unforgettable adventure with the whales without the crowds? Look no further! 🐋 This is an incredible experience, rain or shine! There’s something magical about being out on the water, surrounded by the beauty of the open ocean, watching for whales as they surface, spout, and glide through the water. The smaller-group atmosphere makes the experience feel more personal and immersive, allowing you to truly take in the moment without feeling lost in a sea of tourists. The crew is fantastic, knowledgeable, and communicates clearly throughout the trip, making you feel informed and well taken care of. If you’re looking for a memorable, up-close experience with nature and a little adventure along the way, this is absolutely worth it!

Fantastic Crew! They're as excited as the guests. Very knowledgeable and even better having one who studies them, is a photographer, and has a great deal of local experience.

DOLPHIN JET BOAT TOURS was absolutely amazing. We were there at the end of Sept. It was on and off rainy, but the boat is enclosed & heated, but you still could view wildlife by opening the large window if you wanted to without getting wet or going outdoors. Our naturalist was Savannah and the Captain was Jay. Captain Jay sought out orcas first because they were the furthest point south in Auke Bay. In order to make it back in time, we found the small pod of orcas first and then went back to where they knew humpback whales were still in the waters. A lot of the humpback whales were already gone due to starting their migration. The few that were left- one was identified by naturalist Savannah named "Magma"- was noted as a local celebrity, but also probably one of the last to leave. This whale-friendly jet boat has way less mechanicals in the water as it cruises along compared to traditional propeller driven boats. The possibility of sea life strikes are less impactful or dangerous. If keeping wildlife in the sea is important to you, consider a jet boat-style whale watch like Dolphin. Unfortunately, there are only a few companies that have these boat types. For this reason and the knowledgeable, approachable staff, Dolphin Jet Boat Tours was worth every penny. The boat had a restroom, exterior viewing areas and plenty of seating inside. It was very clean and guests were provided water and a nice snack-bag while on board. It was in the low 40's and intermittently rainy, so the hot coffee and hot chocolate were a classy touch, as was Mother Nature's providing us with a rainbow over the bay. The whale watch tour should definitely be one to take when you are in Juneau. The shuttle ride to and from the tram location in downtown Juneau was expeditious and our driver, "Chuck" & his bus named "Norris" was not only funny but knowledgeable. Thanks again to the staff and boat crew for a memorable time!! We learned a ton and this trip exceeded our expectations. Sarah & Ken, WI.

A lovely experience Captain J and Naturalist J were courteous and very informative. The weather was pleasant and we did see a few whales even though we were out of peek season. The boat was comfortable and we could venture outside. Snacks were enjoyable. Our grandson, age 2 1/2 may not remember this day but we will! Highly recommend and the price of this 3 hour excursion was phenomenal!

The pick up experience was easy off the cruise ship. They give you detailed instructions. You are driven to another harbour- very nice facilities. We were on one of the smaller boats, smaller being about 40 ft! We were lucky to have been a small group. We saw lots of humpbacks and orca with views of the glacier in the distance. No breaches, but whales of both kinds all around us. The naturalist Savannah was very nice and the captain Jay very experienced.

Small group “whale watching tour” but big on service with a “guarantee” to see whales! Definitely recommend this company! We saw 8 whales, otters, seals and eagles

The family had a great time. The staff was friendly and very knowledgable about the wildlife. I would recommend and use Dolphin Jet Boat Tours again.

Fantastic! Our Captain and Naturalist were Amazing. Both very knowledgeable, and worked together with other vessels to get us all the best experience possible. Had a great time out on the water.

Well worth the money. Captain Simon was well skilled with the boat and very pleasant. Jade as our knowledge base was well informed, funny/fun and personable. The hours we spent on the boat flew by quickly with the interactions and the whale sightings. We were in great hands. Extra shout out to the others on the boat. We were all there for a good time and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Juneau has been one of the best places for whale watching - we have been super lucky in our travels. On this trip we got a pod of killer whales which was fantastic. The tour was educational and fun!
