Traveler reviews
Great whale watching day.
The young woman (Morgan?) that conducting our whale watching, was very knowledgable and friendly. We saw many whales and enjoyed watching the seals. We learned a lot about whales, sea life in general and living conditions of the animals in Juneau’s ocean (Pacific Ocean). The interior was mostly comfortable. We did experience seating issues, unrelated to the tour. One couple took our original seats and another woman saved 2 rows, of 8 seats, for her family that didn’t require all of the seats. We ended up seated apart and in uncomfortable situations. Viewing outside the cabin was great. We have many many photos and videos. But the memories are the best. The bus driver was very informative and entertaining. He made the ride more enjoyable.
Bears and Eagles and Whales …. Oh my!
Truly great experience. We did the tour with Whale Tale group and they were awesome. The transportation to the bay was nice. We saw bears and eagles from the bus on the way. Lots of whales , as well as a few sea lions from the boat. All in all great time was had by all.
Alaska Tales is the BEST!!
OMG!! Not only did we have one of the best ever whale watching experiences,,, but the crew and captain were incredible! Captain Larry put us on the marine mammals, Monica and Kacie were awesome in their knowledge and expertise about whales and the many we spotted! Book with them, the best!
Don’t Pass This Up!
Our trip started with a short ride in a bus with our driver, Aidan. He kept the ride entertaining! Our guides on the boat were Morgan and Sophie. The boat was clean and had a bathroom. We saw multiple pods of orcas and a humpback whale that the crew identified by his tail markings. We actually saw Kelp twice in different locations. We also saw sea lions lounging on a buoy. The crew was very knowledgable. Overall it was a wonderful experience!
It was such a blast and such an amazing experience. We got to see a lot of seal lions and a lot of whale swimming at the
It was such a blast and such an amazing experience. We got to see a lot of seal lions and a lot of whale swimming at the boat and jumping out of the water! The crew were amazing and very nice and they also provided snacks too. Highly recommend going to Alaska Tales!
