Omg we saw so many whales. We had three ladies on our boat. The captain really made the trip so much fun. I think her name was Hannah. We had a great time. A must see. Have your camera ready.

Captain Michelle and crew provided the best experience of all our excursions! They found the whales and within 10 minutes one jumped less than 100 yards in front us on the bow. Genevieve, Rylee, and Sophia were all very knowledgeable and provided way more than we expected. Very comfortable boat ride with no issues for any of the passengers. Plenty of space outside when stopped for viewing. Thank you!!
Great experience

We had a great time and the crew was friendly, knowledgeable and got us where we saw whales. The deck got a little crowded but folks were nice about sharing space.
5 stars for Taylor!

I was nervous to take this tour during our stop over in Juneau on a cruise. I was afraid maybe they wouldn't get us back on time. They did pick us up on time and get us back in plenty of time to make our boarding. We saw lots of whales and everyone was super friendly and taught us a lot of interesting information. We went in August. I'm not sure if that has an impact on how many whales we saw, but it was a very good experience.
Wonderful tour

What’s a whale watching adventure after the whales migrate out of the area? It’s a little boat ride out. It’s a little boat ride back. Fortunately for us, it was a beautiful day. And the crew was delightful.
Rainy and Fun

We had an amazing time. It’s hard not to not enjoy the scenery of Alaska. It was raining throughout our visit and we also arrived at the tale end of the season - mid September. Nevertheless, we had a great time. I didn’t see any whales but it wasn’t the most opportune time. There was plenty of room on the boat. And the crew was knowledgeable. Would do definitely recommend.
