• 5These are the guys to go Whale Watching with

  What a great time. This tour was like having our own personal captain and crew. I believe there were only 17 of us on the "full" boat. It was so personalized and we saw whales "bubble net fishing". The crew of 2 put the throttle down to get us out to the site as fast as they could so we could enjoy as much time as possible watching the whales. Don't get on the boat with hundreds of tourist when you can travel with these guys. The few of us had plenty of room to spread out when we got outside of the boat to enjoy the show. I would say it was the highlight of our Alaskan cruise. Thank you!!

• 3Meeting place for initial transportation confusion, cancelled first trip.

  Cons: the difficulty in finding & getting on the correct passenger bus. The name ‘Viator’ was no where to be found & we were walking up to strangers trying to figure everything out & they didn’t know either, third party. There was a location of where to wait but was confusing as so many people & buses there. Pros: we enjoyed the guides.

About Juneau

Juneau is Alaska's capital, a small harbour city beneath steep forested mountains, reachable only by air or sea and close to glaciers.

Juneau sits on the Gastineau Channel in the Alaska Panhandle, squeezed between the water and the steep slopes of Mount Juneau and Mount Roberts, with the Juneau Icefield behind. No road connects it to the rest of North America. The city grew after gold was found in 1880, and the Alaska State Capitol, a columned building of the 1930s, the octagonal Russian Orthodox church of St Nicholas and the old downtown streets recall that past.

Top-ranked sights in Juneau: Mt. Roberts Tramway (Goldbelt Tram), Mendenhall Glacier, Nugget Falls.
