incredible whale adventure

started the tour with a great bus driver. Krystal kept us entertained from each point we went to. Arriving at Mendenhall glacier we’ve got to see the natural beauty of the area andthe visitor center was very informative. All the employees there were very helpful with any questions. Continued on to whale watching to see possibly humpback whales. We were blessed to see a massive amount of 31 whales that showed themselves bubble feeding multiple times. Our guides, Ash and Griffin were incredible and sharing information and enthusiasm who are the tour. Justin was a great captain who got us there and back safely. Highly recommend this combination tour.
