Juneau by Land & Sea

We had an awesome experience. First we went out on private whale watching cruise with Tori and Patrick. Beautiful boat and great snacks while we rode out to the area they had designated as a prime whale watching site. We saw a full breaching and at least 6 other whales while we were there. We also saw some sea lions. Great with our young kids as well. After we got off the boat we went to Medenhall Glacier where our guide tailored this portion to our desires. Great value and great trip. Would do it again.

Everything was wonderful!! Thank you so much for your help and sharing a beautiful day in Juneau. We had a fantastic experience whale watching in your luxury yacht. Everyone made us snd our kids feel special.

While our 6 grandsons were off on a Halibut fishing boat, the other 8 of us enjoyed to the max our day of Luxury "Touring". Our driver, Kevin, picked us up at the dock and delivered us to the yacht with commentary along the way, based on his extensive time in Juneau. On the yacht, we were greeted by the captain, Shannon, and the naturalist, Anna. Both turned out to be experts in their roles, actually knowing the several whales we saw "personally", i.e., by name once we spotted their tail patterns. They not only took us right to the best places to view the whales, they used other resources such as ship captains and tail-tracking books and online sites to add an extra dimension to spotting the several whales we saw. The yacht sat our 8 comfortably, even in the rain while we stayed under cover. Once the skies cleared and the back deck was an option, we had more than enough space. The quality of the meat and cheese tray was great, but for 8 of us on the boat for close to 4 hours, we tapped into our own snacks, too. The drinks were varied and plentiful. The land component was much simpler, focused on the salmon hatchery and a short drive around town. All in all, the tour lived up to the Luxury label and we'd heartily recommend it.

This was definitely the Premier Excursion of our Alaskan cruise and we were not disappointed!!! We reserved two yacht whale watching and glacier excursions for a total of 13 people. This was top-notch with amazing whale watching, with our fabulous Captain and Lisa as our naturalist (captain and naturalist on each boat). In the comfort of each yacht, we munched on an overflowing charcuterie tray and drinks while searching for whales. Most amazing experience and not to forget are trip to the glacier and falls guided by Ann Marie. Office Staff of Jamie and Jill were amazing in making sure our party ranging from 15 year olds, 20’s, 50’s and 70 year olds were all accompanied and taken care of months in advance. There was even room for my father’s collapsible electric scooter in the sprinter van and yacht if we would have brought it. We have already recommended this excursion to other friends going to Alaska. Service was excellent all around and can’t wait to do it again! Amazing and thank you Alaska Luxury Tours!!!

What an incredible experience. Anne Marie picked us up from the cruise port. The van was clean and spacious. She was very knowledgeable and great with our kids (ages 4, 6, 9). We first went on our whale watching tour with Shannon and Jen. I cannot say enough about this part of the trip. Obviously, the whale watching was a highlight, but Shannon and Jen made the entire trip one we will never forget. Shannon was extremely knowledgeable (she recognized the name of the whale we saw within a few seconds of seeing the fins) and was incredible with our kids (including having activity books and kid-friendly snacks/drinks - as well as adult-friendly snacks/drinks). Jen was the boat captain and whale spotter, but she still made time to let my 4 year old daughter sit by her and talk with her for a good chunk of time. After whale watching, Anne Marie picked us back up and took us to the Mendenhall Glacier and then to a salmon hatchery. All in all, this tour was worth it and would 100% recommend to others.

Everything about our experience with Alaska Luxury Tours was first-class. Andy and Megan were waiting for the seven of us as we disembarked from the cruise ship. They were friendly and professional, providing interesting information about Juneau as we rode in their spacious and comfortable van. They took us to the luxurious yacht for our whale watching excursion. Our captain Jen and out naturalist Savannah were enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. We saw many whales and Savannah was able to identify them by name, giving us some history about the whale and its personality. Breathtaking and fascinating, it was a morning that we will never forget! Savannah and Jen were also gracious hosts, supplying a delicious breakfast board of pastries and fruit and offering a variety of beverages. Then Andy and Megan picked us up and guided us to Mendenhall Glacier, instructing us about the glacier and the surrounding forest as we hiked. I would highly recommend this company for a seamless 5-hour tour of Juneau’s highlights.

The best excursion tour I’ve experienced in my travels. We had the best of Alaska by sea and land. Lots of whale sightings and then a walk by the glacier.

From beginning to end this is an experience to remember. We were a party of six, crew was very professional, knowledge and educative about whale and environment. the yacht was impecable, the the combination between sea and land was amazing. Thank you!!

Alaska Luxury Tours has done it right. From being picked up in a Mercedes van with a tv to play video games or watch tv while driving to your destination, to going out on the open water to see beautiful sights from every angle. Being able to see the whales up close was incredible, being able to hear the blows as they swam to seeing their head slaps and breaching a couple times. We also saw sea lions playing on the shore line and on a buoy. Not only was the team was extremely knowledgeable about whales and other sea animals, they have great insight of what to do around the Juneau area! I suggest Alaska Luxury Tour for a family or group of friends.
