Description

This wildlife viewing excursion takes you on a journey to see two of the major highlights in Southeast Alaska. You will be guided to the Mendenhall Glacier for a 45 minute self-exploration followed by our wildlife whale watching tour. Once you have had a chance to explore the glacier park on your own, we will take you to the whale watching harbor where you will come aboard one of our state-of-the-art vessels to search for majestic Humpback Whales and other water wildlife we may find along the way. Our expert captains and naturalists are so familiar with these amazing creatures that we can actually guarantee you will see whales in their natural habitat from a safe distance. Our boats are equipped with restrooms and heated cabins to make this journey extra comfortable. Our fleet of fast jet boats all have plenty of outdoor deck space so you can choose to watch the wildlife in the open air or from the comfort of the cabin. This is an Alaskan adventure you won't want to miss!

WHALDERFUL!

Krichelle, Monica, and griffin did our whale watching experience and it was a blast!!! My friend and I absolutely loved chatting it up and learning about whales and their social behaviors!! Griffin was so knowledgeable could name each whales names! We say about 4 while we were out on the boat! HUGE THANKS TO THIS CREW WE LOVED YOU GUYS!! Mendenhall glacier was also beautiful! You only have about 50 minutes there so if you do the hike be super quick! But the views are so worth it!

The crew were great! Michele, Ash and Sophie did a great job! Knew exactly where to go and didnt chase (surround) the whales. We waited patiently for them to pop out

Capt. Jayden and Jimmy were the best guides ever! They made lots of fun jokes and made every laugh. They definitely know how to work a crowd. We spent maybe 3 hours out there and saw so many whales! Even a baby whale! For as many whales and how much fun we had I would 100% say the price is worth it especially looking at the prices of other places. The crew provided snacks, information, picture ops, and laughs. I would 100% go again and recommend it to anyone traveling to Juneau.
