5.00Our trip was amazing. Lexy was our bus driver out to the boat and kept us all thoroughly entertained the entire drive. She was the perfect tour guide through town. Delton, Qwen, and Monica were our ship crew. You could tell they LOVE what they do. Qwen taught us all about whales and between the three, they made sure we saw a ton of whales. We even got lucky enough to see some orcas which are rare. I would completely recommend the tour
One of the best tours ever!

5.00One of the most memorable experiences of our lives. It was a last minute plan to book this. We booked it just at the port. Was a good decision i would say as we got to watch many whales. The weather was brilliant too being June. And our all Female crew were so knowledgable about whales and just brilliant at their job. Thank you Krichelle, Gwen and Kacie. Highly recommend this tour.

5.00Brenden, Griffin, and Kacie made this a very memorable experience for us. It was a 3 hour excursion and they were all very knowledgeable about humpback whales. Griffin especially was very enthusiastic as we all found whales and he would even run through the cabin screaming we had a whale sighting. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Juneau!
