Small boat with ability to sit up high to see everything around you. We did catch a couple of whale tales. Boat is also designed for walking around outside when whales are spotted and driver stops. Great guys giving lots of info

Fantastic experience! We saw lots of whales and Sea Lions and gave us lots of information on the area. The boat has an area you can walk all around it so you can either be inside and warm and sitting in high seats or standing all around the cabin with great views!

Excellent tour and ship accommodations. The on board naturalist, ship operator and bus driver were highly professional, educational/informative and ensured many unique wildlife sightings as well as scenic views of Juno. The small ship setting made a material difference in both engagement with staff as well as optimal seating/access to widows for wildlife viewing. We also enjoyed the exterior 360 deg wrap around walkway - great feature for wildlife viewing. The tour management team as well as all team members were exceptionally accommodating and kind in assisting with logistical arrangements (flexible pickup/drop off) as well as ensuring the safety of and helping individuals with mobility limitations. Highly recommend this tour. Many thanks to Astral, Andrew, Adam and Cedar for an outstanding family friendly once in a lifetime experience.

Everything was amazing. The boat is comfortable with big windows to see everything. We felt safe and TJ and Daisy provided us with laughter and expertise to get some excellent views of Humpback Whales, even one that was very very close. It was a perfect day and I highly recommend

After many Whale Watching Tours in Alaska this was the best one yet. Andrew and Allen were very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. A small group is definitely the way to go!!!
