This wildlife viewing excursion takes you on a journey to see two of the major highlights in Southeast Alaska. You will be guided to the Mendenhall Glacier for a 45 minute self-exploration followed by our wildlife whale watching tour. Once you have had a chance to explore the glacier park on your own, we will take you to the whale watching harbor where you will come aboard one of our state-of-the-art vessels to search for majestic Humpback Whales and other water wildlife we may find along the way. Our expert captains and naturalists are so familiar with these amazing creatures that we can actually guarantee you will see whales in their natural habitat from a safe distance. Our boats are equipped with restrooms and heated cabins to make this journey extra comfortable. Our fleet of fast jet boats all have plenty of outdoor deck space so you can choose to watch the wildlife in the open air or from the comfort of the cabin. This is an Alaskan adventure you won't want to miss!

    The time at Mendenhall was a little short but overall enough time to get out to Nugget Falls and back, but we had to walk with purpose that is for sure. No time for the visitor center and a walk out there. The whale watching was fabulous. Krishell, Monica, and Genevieve were amazing guides. They found the whales and were very knowledgeable. The ship was comfortable. There was even a bathroom on board. I would do this excursion again.

    This is a two part tour. First part to Mendenhall Glacier can be completely omitted if you are staying in Juneau, have a car and not in a time crunch. All the first part was a bus ride to the glacier with 1 hour of unguided walking. Limited time, no guide. You can skip this and save $ and do the whale watching tour. The second half, whale watching, was fantastic! The boat staff was friendly, informative and we saw many whales. Definitely recommend the second part of the tour.
