Although we are the original whale-watching company in Juneau (operating since 1994), we are still small and family-owned and operated! We want you to feel like part of the family, and we pride ourselves on prioritizing local hires in order to give back to our community and give you the best possible tour experience. We want our guides to love Juneau as much as you do!

Our fleet consists of only mammal-friendly jet boats, and the small size and intimate setting will make you feel right at home with the whales.

We pride ourselves on our quick transfers between vehicles! We don't want you to wait any longer than you absolutely have to!

So i got left out on my tour bus i didn’t realized that it was a quiet long distance walk to Nugget Falls,even i ran as fast as i can,but didn’t make it to finish line. Thankfully they took me to the next group.
The best excursion ever!

We had the best trip! We saw a group of approximately 5-6 whales and our guides were so knowledgeable! It was absolutely amazing! The glacier was amazing as well. We hiked down to Nugget Trail to see the waterfall which was breathtaking and a great location for pictures. I highly recommend this excursion!

Seeing the glacier and the giant waterfall and hiking down to the waterfall. It was not like anything that I have never seen before.
I don’t know how the whale watching would have gone if we weren’t with a different company.

How do we write a review of the tour we were actually on? We were picked up by a very unenthusiastic young man from Dolphin Jet boat tours, apparently their boats have had issues and the sent us off with another tour company Juneau Tours and Whale Watch once we got to the marina. They were the best tour company hands down we had a blast! Beyond our expectations and left them a 5 star review on google. We were then picked up by our guy again and scooted off to Mendenhall glacier. He maybe said 3 sentences about the glacier said he would be back in an hour to get us. So if you like city or landmark tours without any reference or history. This tour is for you but we highly recommend booking with Juneau Tours and Whale Watch!
It was a great experience.

The crew did a good job of explaining about humpback whales. Their habitat and their behavior. The boat was very fast and very comfortable.
