Phenomenal tour with amazing guides! The whole experience was 10 stars from the transportation, boat, seating and actual whale watching tour! We saw tons of whales and at one point the boat was completely surrounded by a pod of whales that were breaching, spouting, and slapping their tails on the water surface! Thank you again for an amazing experience that our family will cherish forever!John_E

We saw quite a few whales, a few eagles and some seals. The boat was comfortable and the captain had a sharp eye for the whales. After our tour, Brad gave us 30 minutes at Mendenhall Glacier... which was a huge bonus since our ship cancelled our inner passage portion.

Seeing the whales tail was cool! Just wished for more. The rain put a damper on this activity but we were prepared.

Brandon and Britt were amazing. From pick up to drop off flawless and very comfortable. We loved the small guest of 20. The boat was much better than other boats we saw people cram on with many more guests. The boat had large windows with high seats, great for viewing and extremely comfortable....
Brandon and Britt were amazing. From pick up to drop off flawless and very comfortable. We loved the small guest of 20. The boat was much better than other boats we saw people cram on with many more guests. The boat had large windows with high seats, great for viewing and extremely comfortable. A viewing deck and walk around gave plenty of opportunities to see whales up close and personal. Their knowledge of the whales swim patterns was spot on. YES, we saw whales, seals eagles galore and were given some excellent pointers about the tour and the town of Juneau. Brandon was told RCI cancelled our glacier stop and surprised us by stopping by Mendenhall Glacier for a quick stop that thrilled all 20 of us and everyone applauded him for that. It can be stressful use I guess an outside tour operator, but in this case since our whale watching tour was cancelled by RCI, it was a great decision and would highly recommend using them. All of your needs will be met. A nice clean restroom is on the boat. The boat is new and height tech. Being a 2 toon craft the ride was extremely smooth. I had no problem with seasickness. Do not hesitate to book this tour. Better than a cruise ship tour!!! 5 real stars 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟
