Premier Juneau Whale Watching Expedition

Overview

Your 3 hour whale watching adventure begins when you board a coach bus that departs downtown Juneau from the Mt. Roberts Tram parking lot. A 25 minute journey through the picturesque landscape of Southeast Alaska will take you to Auke Bay Harbor. “All aboard!” and you’re off for Alaska waters and the ultimate whale watching experience. The star of the tour is the humpback whale, but we are always looking out for sea lions, bald eagles, or the playful orca. The whales are here to feed in our abundant Alaskan waters. Our naturalist guides you on a 2 hour whale watching tour. With our experienced captains and Juneau being one of the best ports for whale watching in Alaska, this tour will be an unforgettable experience. A light snack and refreshments will be provided.

Caption Ben is the whale whisperer! Zoey and Tess were excellent deck hands and have an immense passion for these beautiful creatures. We hit the lotto - the weather was overcast, but warm and dry; we saw a mother and calf, small pod, and a whale breached. We absolutely recommend this tour!

The whale watching was absolutely amazing!! we saw lots of whales,sea birds, and eagles. We also saw a sea lion and many harbor seals. Our guides, Tess and Noah were awesome. They answered every question, no matter how stupid. Captain Scott was hilarious and kept us safe while giving us the best vantage point to view the beautiful whales. Mendenhall Glacier was just breathtaking. Recommend the trail of time walk. Would book this trip again with no qualms.
