This was by far a major highlight of our trip!
We were on the Thrill Seeker boat on August 13, 2019, with our captain Brandon and his first mate (Sorry!! name forgotten - which makes me feel awful because he was SO NICE!!
Suddenly, they spotted two Orcas, which they said was pretty rare. It was AMAZING to see!! We also saw several humpbacks including a mom and baby. Not sure who was more excited about those Orcas, us or the guys lol They were so friendly, fun, and knowledgable about EVERYTHING Juneau has to offer! They even offered to help out with restaurant suggestions or other tour ideas. I really cannot say enough about the two of them! Their boat was crazy fast (and totally safe!!), and we laughed so hard as we bounced up and down with the boat in the waves on the way to and from the whale sighting area. They were super cautious about keeping the whales AND us safe.
My thirteen year old did not want to go whale watching at all, but turned to me at one point and said, "This is the BEST excursion ever!!" I got a little choked up seeing the awe and wonder in his eyes.
I credit Juneau Tours and especially our guys for creating a family memory that will last a lifetime!!
