Beautiful bus ride with informative tours, which led to our boat with excellent staff. Ashley’s passion for whales was vividly observed. We saw whales so close, they actually went under our boat

Super exciting tour! Captain Larry , Monica and Taylor were perfect hosts. Taylor was very knowledgeable and seemed to really enjoy their position! We were so happy to get to see Barnicle, Nibblet and Riddler! Thanks for the fun time!

Easy to book and a great experience! From the Alaska Tales Whale watching check in at the pier in Juneau to end of the tour, each person was great to work with. Our bus driver Jay provided interesting information about Juneau and great stories to and from the marina in Auke Bay. Michelle, Monica, and Morgan did an excellent job on the boat and made the experience both fun and educational. Each member of the team provided great recommendations for other things to do around the area that were more local and fun! Would recommend for sure!

Booked a last minute whale watching excursion because our cruise line cancelled another excursion on short notice. This was our first experience booking with the tour operator and not the cruise line.
