    Trip was great! We saw over 12 whales, and they took us to an island to see sea lions as well. The crew was so knowledgeable and friendly that it made for a great day.

    This is one of the best if not the best tour in Juneau. They are one of the few operators that guarantee that you will see a whale. The M Crew (Capt. Michelle and naturalists Monica and Morgan) truly delivered! We saw 3 Orcas and then a whole pod of humpback whales including two moms with their teenage kids. The M Crew is incredibly knowledgable and willing to share their knowledge. Also our driver Scott aka Papa Bear went out of his way to make the trip to the boat fun, educational and all around wonderful experience. Thank you Alaska Tales !

    Comfortable seating, transportation too and from port was awesome. Very knowledgeable information given. Greg, Ash and Kacie did an excellent job all around. Seen so many whales. And when your tour guide gets excited about the settings, you know it is a good day. Made it very enjoyable.

  • Fantastic Time!!
