Whale Watching Adventure in Juneau

Overview

Although we are the original whale-watching company in Juneau (operating since 1994), we are still small and family-owned and operated! We want you to feel like part of the family, and we pride ourselves on prioritizing local hires in order to give back to our community and give you the best possible tour experience. We want our guides to love Juneau as much as you do!

Our fleet consists of only mammal-friendly jet boats, and the small size and intimate setting will make you feel right at home with the whales.

We pride ourselves on our quick transfers between vehicles! We don't want you to wait any longer than you absolutely have to!

What To Expect

Juneau

Go in search of whales with a naturalist guide on a day trip from Juneau. Hop onboard a boat and get binoculars to spot other wildlife such as sea lions, bald eagles, and black bears. Depart from downtown Juneau on a bus driven by a local tour guide through a scenic route to Auke Bay, where you board a comfortable jet boat. Be led by a captain and naturalist on an unforgettable search for whales in Favorite Channel, Stephens Passage, Lynn Canal, or Saginaw Channel. Binoculars are provided so you can see the humpbacks, killer whales, Dall’s porpoises, harbor seals, Steller sea lions, bald eagles, black bears, and towering mountains better. With the growing abundance of whales in the area and their comfort with small boats, you are bound to see many. This tour includes transfers between downtown and Auke Bay and two hours on the water. Included in the price of the tour are onboard refreshments, including bottled water, coffee, hot chocolate, and a small snack.

Saw orcas, humpbacks and sea otters. Highly recommend the trip. Boat was not too big so wasn’t as crowded as other excursions.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! The captain of our boat was a native Alaskan who knew the waters intimately and was able to drive us to a spot to see not one - but 3 whales. Our naturalist Bill Andrews did an outstanding job of detailing what we were seeing and why. The captain then brought us near the shore to see a large raft of seal lions. A quick view of the Mendenhall Glacier. Simply breathtaking. Our bus driver was also extremely knowledgeable and did not hesitate to answer any and all questions. Our 3.5 hour tour was well worth the cost and I would recommend to anyone.
