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!

We loved this excursion and had plenty of time to visit the glacier. We stayed on schedule which was really nice. We got to see several whales. My only complaint would be that we had no idea where to meet for the excursion until the morning of. I could not locate it on the Viator website and attempted to contact the operator. I got no response but then the next morning everything was updated on the website. The tour stated 4 1/2 hours, but we actually got back within four hours. We were thankful because it gave us a little time in town, and we were able to get back to the ship on time with no stress.
