Overview

This three-hour whale watching boat tour in Juneau offers wildlife viewing with a naturalist guide. The tour starts in downtown Juneau, where participants board a bus driven by a local guide for a scenic ride to Auke Bay. From there, guests board a mammal-friendly jet boat captained by an experienced guide. The boat heads into waters such as Favorite Channel, Stephens Passage, Lynn Canal, or Saginaw Channel to search for whales and other wildlife. Binoculars are provided to help spot humpback whales, killer whales, Dall’s porpoises, harbor seals, Steller sea lions, bald eagles, and black bears. The area’s whale population and their comfort with small boats make sightings likely. The tour includes two hours on the water and transfers between downtown Juneau and Auke Bay. Onboard refreshments include bottled water, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and snacks. The small, family-operated company prioritizes local guides and uses only small jet boats designed to minimize disturbance to marine mammals.
