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.

An awesome experience with Captain Mac and crew Lukas and Addie. We actually saw dozens of whales. A few even came close to our boat on their own. The boat cannot approach them by law. We highly recommend this company.

Captain T, Jimmy and Mia are all awesome! My wife, 12 year old son and I had a great time. We saw some beautiful whale GROUPS. Pretty damn cool. Bring a windbreaker. Thanks guys for the amazing experience, good laughs and the gummies.

Not only did we luck out with a sunny day, but we also saw sooooo many whales. It sounded like that wasn’t normal. We saw whales bubble feeding, spouting, babies - so much more than I was expecting. We were on a small boat and the crew (Jaden, Calvin, and Captain Dani) was exceptional. They answered all our questions and even had a hydrophone they dropped into the water when we stopped and told us when the whales were going to come to the top of the water. Highly recommend!
