We met our rep outside of our cruise ship at the time specified. We waited for the bus to arrive and once everyone was onboard we went to the bridge where we were able to take photos of the Mendeville glacier on route to the harbour to proceed onto our Lighthouse boat for the duration of the whale watching experience. Our guide was Dale, Alan was the skipper and Morgan was helping with providing drinks, snacks and advice. Dale was very informative and gave great advice about wildlife in the area, also answered any questions. The weather was kind and we saw Sasha with her cub aged 4 months. We then saw a huge whale ahead of us which threw himself out of the water. After a short while we moved to another spot where we managed to see another hatchback and finally another spot where the rain was falling on the mountain so we saw a double part rainbow and a few mins later a complete rainbow over the lake. It was an amazing day. We were on the lake approx 2 hours before we headed back onto the bus for our 20 mins journey back to Juneau or to the ship. Thanks for a memorable day.
Amazing day

Amazing day Dale and Tess were excellent and we managed to see humpbacks ,orcas and even porpoises playing around the boat , the boat being enclosed made it so much better on a really wet day but the ability to open the windows and to go out on the bow and back of the boat once the whales were spotted was fantastic
Exceptional experience!

What an amazing day! We were so fortunate to be able to see 6-7 whales all at the same time. Dale our guide said that this was the most whales EVER seen on a trip. Maybe he was just saying that so we would feel good about our experience, but nevertheless, the day was absolutely amazing!! Dale & Morgan were a great team & very informative. I want to mention that on our way to the boat, we stopped to look at the Mendenhall glacier. This part was very Lame, basically a waste of time, & not worth the stop. The glacier was so far away, you can’t even photograph it. It was kind of ridiculous….. however Dale and his crew saved the day because they were able to take us to the glacier by boat. This time we saw the glacier much closer! Seeing the glacier by water is a much more notable experience than seeing it from the bus stop. This boat trip has been the highlight of my entire Alaskan trip & it was 1/2 the price the cruise ships were offering the same experience.
