Best whale watching company! - We had a wonderful time and this company was awesome! Michelle, Morgan, and Genevieve were a great crew, and very knowledgeable. Boat was not to large so it felt more intimate. We saw lots of whales and they knew most of the whales by name. Would definitely recommend. :)

Whale Watching bucket list checked. - This was a bucket list trip for my wife and I and it checked that box. We chose this tour over a ship excursion do to its smaller size, great reviews and return to ship on time guarantee and could not recommend it more. Captain Greg had us on the whales the entire time, called out a breach and a roll before they happened so we could be prepared to capture the action. Ash & Kacie were full of awesome information about the whales were going to see, knowing many by name (fluke markings) and did a great job of directing us to where the best viewing was.

The best Alaska excursion of our trip! - Captain Michelle and crew provided the best experience of all our excursions! They found the whales and within 10 minutes one jumped less than 100 yards in front us on the bow. Genevieve, Rylee, and Sophia were all very knowledgeable and provided way more than we expected. Very comfortable boat ride with no issues for any of the passengers. Plenty of space outside when stopped for viewing. Thank you!!

Glad I booked! - I was nervous to take this tour during our stop over in Juneau on a cruise. I was afraid maybe they wouldn't get us back on time. They did pick us up on time and get us back in plenty of time to make our boarding. We saw lots of whales and everyone was super friendly and taught us a lot of interesting information. We went in August. I'm not sure if that has an impact on how many whales we saw, but it was a very good experience.
