We began our journey at the Mendenhall Glacier. Had about an hour which was very generous. You can view the glacier and visit the gift shop. Next we headed to the boat for whale watching. Very comfortable seats and easy viewing. I thought we’d see maybe a whale or maybe 2. Was I ever surprised! We saw at least 10-12. And they were close up. Pictureworthy. After a couple hours whale watching, the boat took us to a lovely lodge where we had fresh cojo salmon, coleslaw and other sides. It was heavenly because the salmon was so fresh! After lunch, we reboarded our boat and returned to the dock where our bus was waiting for us to take us back to the ship. Excellent day! Very well organized day. I would definitely do it again.
