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.

Thanks to Junea Tours and Whale watching, I learned more about Junea and whales in three hours than I could imagine. Driver Stephane pointed out Mt. Juneau and Gold Creek, named after Joe Juneau a gold striker. From the luxury coach we also saw Lemon and Mendenhall glaciers. Then we drove through Eagle Row, and saw the Gastineau channel, which completely dries out at low tide. On our tour, Naturalists Marina and Kris taught us all about the ocean dwelling stars of our tour, the humpback whales. A group of whales is called a Gam, not a pod and they are in their feeding grounds. The whale tail is called a Fluke. We got to see Sacha, Flame and Baby Bunson. We also got to watch some juvenile male sea lions hanging out on a buoy. Capitan Josh did a great job driving the boat. Among other fun facts we learned on the trip were that Grizzly bears live inland and Brown bears are coastal. A fijord is a glacier carved, salt water filled channel. Only male humpback whales sing. And their song changes all the time. All whales sing the same song and changes travel through the population within 24 hours. A whale life span may be up to 180 years. Its age is counted after death by counting the rings in its via earwax (ewww). Hands down, I had a whale of a good time, don't Juneau. Check out Juneau Tours and Whale Watching for your next visit.

My husband and I had an amazing time on our whale watch with Juneau Tours. Captain Tori worked hard to show us some amazing wildlife. She found a pod of orcas WITH a glacier and mountains as the backdrop behind us!! Crewmates Ed and Russell were great too, sharing knowledge of all the incredible things we were seeing along the way. We hope to come to Alaska again and go on another trip with Juneau Tours and Capt. Tori, Ed, and Russell!

Our Juneau Whale Watch Team was Ed, Marina and Danielle. We had a great time and learned and saw a lot. Ed knew where to go to find the whales and Danielle was very knowledgeable. She gave a lot of information and was able to answer all questions. We were too far away to get good pictures but we could see the whales & see their flukes when it came up out of the water. Some boats in the area looked so crowded that everyone couldn't get to a railing to see well but we did not have that problem. There was space for everyone. It was a great 2 hour tour and I would use them again.
