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 state of the art boats are equipped with restrooms and heated cabins to make this journey extra comfortable.

This is an Alaskan adventure you won't want to miss!

    Great excursion! It was the perfect length, and we spent the amount of time promised on the water. Other trips say 3 hours but in reality that’s including drive time. Alaska Tales actually gave us a little more time! Sophia, Genevieve and Captain Michelle were wonderfully entertaining and knowledgeable guides.

  • Great Whale Watch without the cruise ship pricing!

    This was the perfect whale watching trip! Captain Larry, Ash and Genevieve were so personable and knowledgeable. It was very easy to find when getting off the HAL ship. They had us back exactly when they said they would so we were not late for the all aboard time. According to them, they are the only outfit here that isn't affiliated with the cruise line and I like supporting the independently owned businesses. We saw plenty of whales, tails, and flippers! The day was beautiful and sunny and the boat (The George Ryan) was comfortable. They also gave us a great photo op of the Mendenhal Glacier on our way back into shore. We waw 2 bald eagles and a bunch of Sea Lions sunning on a buoy. It was a great trip!
