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.

We did this excursion while in Juneau and really enjoyed it. The boat was spacious and the commentary was interesting. Once we got to the watching spot, we went upstairs to the open air deck and were rewarded with sightings of several humpback whales and quite a few Orcas as well. The operators were all very personable and informative.

Great staff from the bus ride to the boat to the crew and guide. They were friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable. Found whales fast and positioned us for the best views. Best of all we saved hundreds by booking directly thru Viator rather than paying the cruise premiums for the excursion.

We had a great time and saw lots of whales. One (Riddler) even swam by for a close up! Shay, Carrie, and Brenden were very knowledgeable and were great guides.
