This was an awesome excursion from our bus driver who talked about Juneau, glaciers, and wildlife, to seeing Mendenhall glacier, lots of bald eagles, and over 21 hump back whales. Truly an excursion that I will not forget.

ABSOLUTELY breathtaking and did not disappoint: not gonna lie I had low expectations going into this as it’s nature after all and out of anyone’s control. Figured we’d have a few don sightings and call it a day. We could NOT have been happier with the friendly and super knowledgeable staff we were given for this experience. Started with a momma orca and her 2 babies fins popping up to say hi. Without this crew, I honestly don’t believe it would have been as magical. With our guides super trained eye, she very barely caught something out the corner of her eye. Lo and behold we were truly gifted which her expertise and because she caught that minute glimpse of something, we were able to be one of the only boats on the water for a while to see 20….I repeat 20 humpback whales bubble feeding and one even breached for us🤯😲. To be close enough to hear the noises they make was just soooo cool to add to the experience. My kids said it was the best experience they have had on a vacation and probably won’t be beat for 40 years per them (11&13 yrs old). Thank you sooo very much for this opportunity. Please understand these results are super rare and the stars just aligned perfectly for us. The staff was beyond knowledgeable on the topic of whales and were super fun to converse with.

We had an once in a lifetime experience in majestic Alaska watching the whales. We had perfect weather & calm waters. The whales were being very playful & put on quiet the show for us. We saw a whale breaching and fins waving. And multiple tale flips. Alea and Ash were very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Captain Justin took us to a great spot with multiple whales for us to observe. The boat was new & very comfortable. Would recommend them to anyone & plan on using them on our next adventure took Alaska.
