This was an awesome adventure for our family. No need to crowd on a bus or boat full of people…it was just us. Jack, the driver to the glacier and to the dock and back, was knowledgeable about the area and very friendly. He explained all about the the Mendenhall Glacier visitors center and how to best utilize our time. The glacier was awesome! Then, he drove us to the dock where we set off for our whale watch tour. Since there were only 5 of us, we each got our own seat on the Big Mike. Captain Mike navigated the choppy waters like a pro, and Taz gave us lots of interesting information about whales and sea lions and the local islands. Both Mike and Taz were friendly and focused on finding us some whales to enjoy. We saw a mama and her calf and 4 other whales on our trip, along with some sea lions resting on a buoy. They also offered us snacks at a much -needed time. Jack even shuttled us all the way back to our ship so that we didn’t have to use public transport. The whole family from ages 10-52 loved this experience!
