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.

Well organised, informative and thoroughly enjoyable shore tour out of Juneau. We were lucky to see a pod of orcas as well as a humpback whale and calf. The scenery is magnificent. Efficient shuttle service to and from Mendenhall Glacier, giving you time to explore at leisure. We booked this through Alaska Shore Tours as well as a shore tour from Skagway. Very happy with our experience with the company.

We have been on so many cruises & so many excursions. This was hands down the best yet! Our crew had to be the best available. Captain Ed put us on the whales. At one point we had 3 whales swim to within 15 feet of our boat. The boat was large, comfortable and smooth on the water. Jayden’s enthusiasm was infectious! Miranda was great as well. We will not return to Juneau without booking this tour! Thanks guys.

This was a lot of fun. The scenery was gorgeous. The crew was informative and delightful. The enthusiasm of the crew for the location and the whales was infectious. You could tell they loved their jobs. The guide was always so excited when whales were spotted, and gave a ton of information. We saw Flame, Bunson, and an older female.
