If you are in Juneau: Take This Trip! Our heli got canceled and we luckily stumbled across this GEM💎 Brilliant Josh teaching us, and Zen Capt TJ showing us their amazing water world. Somehow, during our visit a calf was still nursing🐋 The sun actually came out over the bay! I was shocked at how stunningly beautiful their world is every day. The trip felt like family and I would do it again tomorrow if I could! Skip the Heli and See the Whales!!💕🐋💎 Cheers JWT!!❤️ See you when I get closer🥰

The bus driver, Cedar, provided a lot of great information about Juneau, and Josh and TJ made the boat tour really enjoyable! We saw orcas and humpback whales, and we actually had a sunny day which is rare for that time of year. Also, the fact that the tour was limited to 20 people was a huge bonus.

TJ and were awesome and we felt very safe under their guidance. We saw many humpback whales after a 30min float to where the whales were feeding. The bus driver, Cedar, was a wealth of information about the area. If you like to support small businesses, these are the folks to support!

We sailed with TJ & Josh on Thursday, Sept 19th @ 4pm. There were 5 of us and we were the only customers. First of all, the boat is awesome! Best design whale watching boat we have been on and we have been on several whale tours! TJ & Josh were great, friendly and fun! They were very informative and knowledgeable! We saw a whale breach in the distance and observed a whale sleeping, (logging). It was a memorable trip and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Well done Juneau Whale Tours!!
