Raining and very cold. Our crew Delten ,Nate and Taylor were great. Only got to see a spout a bit of the back and a tail from 2 whales. A lot of money to not see much of a whales.

Great experience all around, very friendly and knowledgeable staff made whale watching much more enriching and enjoyable. It added something special learning more about whales from the naturalists on the staff who also helped identify the exact whales we had spotted. Certainly worth venturing out from your cruise-recommended tours for this family-owned tour company. Seamless pick up and drop off as well.

Amazing experience. Booked last minute and could not have been a better whale watching trip. Saw tons of whales, sea lions and watched a whale fully breach right next to our boat. The crew was excellent. Truly a 10 out of 10 experience!!!

Absolutely amazing tour! The team of Captain Nate, Ash, & Nate were friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. We learned, laughed, and truly had a great time. The boat was big with multiple viewing areas, and the seats were very comfortable for the ride! Book Alaska Tales for all your whale needs!
