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.

Such a cool unique experience! I loved all the info on whales we received during and being able to listen to them through tools on the boat.

Rare sunny morning in Juneau and an incredibly, fun, down-to-earth, highly engaged tour guide in Carrie (thank you Carrie). Boats were clean and top-notch, bus driver was great also at pointing out key points in the city and bus-rid out to the bay. We may have had the record whale-spotting trip for the tour company, with over 12 whales, up close, and personal for over 30 minutes. Multiple flutes out of the water and a baby showing off by waving his pectoral fin in the air and splashing above the surface. Outstanding experience!

Rico was a very good tour guide. He shared a lot of knowledge about the area and the marine life. His delivery made the trip both interesting and entertaining! Max was an excellent driver for the tour and handled the boat like a real professional.
