Mendenhall Glacier and Whale Watching Tour

Overview
Although we are the original whale-watching company in Juneau (operating since 1994), we are still small and family-owned and operated! We want you to feel like part of the family, and we pride ourselves on prioritizing local hires in order to give back to our community and give you the best possible tour experience. We want our guides to love Juneau as much as you do!

Our fleet consists of only mammal-friendly jet boats, and the small size and intimate setting will make you feel right at home with the whales.

We pride ourselves on our quick transfers between vehicles! We don't want you to wait any longer than you absolutely have to!

Awesome! Very knowledgeable. Had a good time and good snacks. The driver and naturalist knew a lot about the area and even some of the whales names.

The whale watching was incredible! The Dolphin crew and boat was terrific. We really appreciated that it was set up for smaller groups.

Captain Nick and Rico were amazing! Knowledgeable and passionate about the whales and excited to share with the less informed.
