5.00We had an absolutely excellent trip hosted by Kyra and Captain Tyler. Kyra’s local knowledge and story telling was superb. It was extremely professional. We were looked after every step of the way and managed to see several whales, an eagle and some sea lions.

5.00Whale watching and Mendenhall Glacier photo safari ——Nathalie is the best guide I have ever had!!!!! She was like a favourite professor in school - fun yet so educational. I am from Iceland and have visited over 90 countries. We saw orcas, a humpback, eagles, sea otters and cool birds!! I learned so much about the local area, wildlife, forest, and photography!!! My pictures are incredible!! Levi was our boat captain and he made sure we got as close as possible for the most awesome pics. The smoothest ride as well. Takk (thanks) I will be back!!!!! <3 Do not hesitate to book this company!!!!!

5.00Whale watching and glacier tour in Juneau was absolutely unforgettable! We saw multiple whales up close, and the views of the glacier were breathtaking. The guide Korban were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience even more special. The scenery felt unreal from start to finish. Definitely one of the highlights of Alaska. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Juneau!

Glacier and Whale Watch

5.00Our tour started with a visit to the Glacier with good information provided by Anya. A shame the tour was modified here due to reasons out of their control. Was glad it was during this part of the year as it was way crowded. We then went to the marina to partake in the whale tour with Capt Yuri, the boat was tidy and well set out. After a brief run out we found a pod of orca and witnessed our first Orca breach, amazing. Great tour.
Amazing tour and experience

5.00We joined the whales and Glacier tour in Juneau . Our guide Lucas Young was very knowledgeable on the geology of the region and how glaciers had shaped the land . He was also a mine of information regarding the whales and seals. Our captain Leslie Laforce very stealthily followed a family of ORCAS (at the mandated distance) allowing us to see mothers teaching their small calves catch fish. An excellent tour and great value for money.
