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.

Got to see lots of whales and the amazing bubble net feeding on our trip! The team was informative and helpful. Shout out to Tad, Brendan, Gillian! Boat was brand new (less than a week old) and was also provided a snack! Would highly recommend!

Best whale watching tour!!!! We saw bubble feeding and orca’s at the same time. Incredible. We even stopped to get a look at Mendenhall Glacier.

This was a wonderful trip and money well spent. We didn’t book any excursions through the cruise ship and found this one at a booth. What a great experience and we lucked out to see bubble feeding (10 humpback whales at once) as well as Orcas neither if which is a common occurrence. The staff was awesome and Brock, McCall, and John were excellent. Brock was very informative and knowledgeable about the whales. I highly recommend this boat with their crew.
