Amazing experience. Great encounter with lots of whale sightings . The crew were great and the small size of the traveling party made for easy viewing.

Crew and captain very enthusiastic about the area and whales. They gave us a whole new appreciation of the wildlife and surrounding waters. We had whales approach the boat and breach! Sea lions were quietly resting on the bouys.
Wonderful up personal whale watching experience!

We had the best whale watching cruise we have ever had! We saw so many whales up close and we saw sea otters and seals. I love that the boat only had 6 passengers and you could move around easily and never miss anything. I would 100% recommend this excursion to everyone.
Great day with the whales 🐋!!

My mom and I had an excellent time on the whale watching trip. We had a wonderful bus driver, John, who taught us all about Juneau and Auke Bay (he was born and raised in Juneau). Really great narrator - it felt like he was a friend. Then we got on the boat and it was like magic. Dalton, our captain, got us right up next to the whales (maintaining a safe distance for everybody but close!) and Chloe and Tess talked us through what all we were seeing. We saw 6 whales and Chloe and Tess could identify who they were on sight (Magma, her calf, Barnacles, Helix, Eyelet, etc.). Chloe gave the big presentation on how to spot whales, whale anatomy, and conservation, and Tess pointed out specific whales and their histories. You can identify them by their flukes and dorsal fins. All in all 10/10 whale watching tour. It seriously couldn’t have been better.
