Local Alaska Whale Watching with Bonus Drone Footage of Whales

Overview

Whale watching in the wild and pristine waters of Icy Strait, where Humpback whales are abundant and sighted on every trip, with small business owner Captain Josh! Otter and Steller Sea Lions are also very common, with Orcas, Brown Bears, and other wildlife frequently sighted!

Owned and operated by our own Captain Josh, he will be your personal guide as he navigates the wilderness waters of Icy strait. What makes his tours special is the energy he has and the creative ways he finds to show you his beloved wildlife, so that you can really see and appreciate these creatures with him, and to make every tour amazing.

His 14 passenger vessel was designed specifically for whale watching on Alaska's waters, and will provide a safe and stable viewing platform for you. He also provides the one truly Drone-integrated whale watching tour in the world, providing you with views and videos of wildlife that are truly unique, and at the end of it, you get to take the footage from your tour home!

Loved Captain Josh and his first mate his younger brother . We saw breaching Orcas which were unexpected ! Saw lots of sea life humpbacks , sea lions and otters , bald eagles . The drone footage was so amazing and you can take a usb of it for home viewing . The small boat excursion is so worth it .

Captain Josh found an active orca pod immediately, with a baby calf and a few full breaches while the orcas played. He also found some humpbacks and we saw them breach too! Throw in stellar sea lions, and sea otters, and the day was perfect.

I didn't know how good having some drone footage of whales is until I did this tour!! Captain Josh is a pleasure to be with and he explained a lot about wildlife around Hoonah. The tour was very fun. Saw whales making bubble circles to trap fish, saw seals just laying on the pole, and also saw sea otters and other sea animals. I highly recommend this tour.
