We started off our tour on a quick bus ride from the Tramway area to the boat. We were then guided to the boat by are awesome naturalist, Marina, and met our captain, Lance. Marina is very knowledgeable and obviously passionate about what she does. She made the whole boat trip fun and educational. Lance is an excellent captain who knew right where to take us to see the whales. A few of us got to sit up in the Captain's Quarters with him on the ride and he gave us lots of information. On our nearly 2 hour boat trip, we saw 4 different whales and Marina was very helpful on letting us know what to look for and to be ready to get the photo shot of the whale tail. We were able to see this several times but you should note that you will not see anything on the whale except their back and tail. They do not breach out of the water. After leaving the boat, another short bus ride took us to the Mendenhall glacier. We spent several hours there viewing the glacier, touring the visitor center, and walking the several Trails available. It's a beautiful place and the glacier and waterfall are spectacular. It was great to have the option to stay around the glacier longer and take any one of their buses back to town.
