Overview

This three-hour wildlife tour in Juneau starts with a coach bus ride from downtown at the Mt. Roberts Tram parking lot. The bus travels about 25 minutes through Southeast Alaska’s landscape to reach Auke Bay Harbor. From there, the group boards a custom jet boat or catamaran for a two-hour whale watching trip in Alaska waters. The main focus is spotting humpback whales feeding, but sea lions, bald eagles, and orcas may also appear. A naturalist guide is on board to provide information throughout the boat portion. A light snack and refreshments are included during the tour. On the return trip to Juneau, there is a photo stop to view the Mendenhall Glacier, weather permitting. The boat has a heated cabin with large windows, spacious decks for viewing, and bathrooms. Round-trip transport between the port and boat harbor is included, and multiple departure times are offered for convenience.

THIS TOUR IS PROVIDED BY JUNEAU TOURS & WHALE WATCH Our 3 hour whale watching adventure begins when we board a coach bus that departs downtown Juneau from the Mt. Roberts Tram parking lot. A 25 minute journey through the picturesque landscape of Southeast Alaska will take you to Auke Bay Harbor. “All aboard!” and you’re off to Alaska waters and the ultimate whale watching experience. On our quest for whales, we will be on the lookout for bald eagles, seals, sea lions, black bear and more of Alaska’s wildlife. The star of the tour is the humpback whale, but we are always looking out for the playful orcas. Once we spot a whale, the captain will slow down and allow you to go on the spacious viewing decks for a great photo opportunity. Towards the end of the cruise we stop on the water for a 5 minute photo stop of the Mendenhall Glacier (weather dependent). Our custom designed vessels provides unrestricted viewing from inside the cabin as well as outside. Although the cabin is enclosed and heated we recommend you dress in layers, after all it is Alaska! Snacks are also provided.
