• 5Whales n a Salmon lunch

  Enjoyed the excursion the whale watching was fun and our guide was knowledgeable. The salmon bake was delicious and the ambience was cute.

• 3Fun time but sort of a let down

  overall the whale watching experience was a good one, but the big let down was there simply was not enough room for the 40 people on board to get a good view every time the crew spotted whales. The big drawback was an upper deck which this boat lacked. Alot of other boats of the same size were equipped with an upper observation deck which gave everyone an opportunity to get a clear view of the whales without being crowded out. the small walkout deck on the stern was hardly enough to handle a third of the passengers. The naturalist and the skipper were awesome and just as friendly as could be. they listened to passengers when one of us spotted whales and kept in touch via radio with other boats in order to go where the "action" was... we did get to see humpbacks and Orcas in pretty large numbers, but again...crowded out by other people racing to grab premium spots like a "land grab"....lol

• 5Autumn and Capt Lee were so great

  We had such a fun time whale watching with Captain Lee and Naturalist Autumn. She was so enthusiastic and clearly loves the work she does. She was super knowledgeable and we were able to spot a ton of whales! Captain Lee is so professional and takes his job very seriously as our captain. He made us all feel very safe.

• 5Bubble Net Feeding

  We went on August 18th 2026, and our naturalist Autumn was learned, passionate and a consummate professional. She even tried to laugh at my George Costanza (Seinfeld) joke regarding marine biology.

• 5Whale watching with knowledgeable and passionate guides

  Captain Claire and Naturalist Autumn were great for our whale watching adventure. Lots of good information and a few sketchy dad jokes mixed in. They knew where whales were, what they were doing, and relevant information that educated us all. They are passionate about marine life and it shows. 100% recommend!

• 1Disappointed in not getting to eat at the clam bake

  The whale watching portion with Amanda and Matt was incredible. The whales didn’t breach but we did see a few. After that, the experience went downhill. Our van driver never showed up and we didn’t get to attend the salmon bake. We need a partial refund for five people!

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.
