Whale Watching Cruise
This is a great opportunity to see humpback and/or orca whales, Dall's porpoises, sea lions, seals, bald eagles, and more on a boat that holds a maximum of 40 guests; compared with typical cruise line tours which hold 140 guests. Whale viewing is guaranteed.
Your Alaska Whale Watching Cruise adventure begins with a short drive to a scenic harbor. Here, you will board a mammal-friendly jet boat equipped with water jet drives to ensure a quiet underwater operation without dangerous propellers that may frighten or harm the animals. The boats have an enclosed and heated cabin, complete with indoor plumbing. In addition, the boat only holds a maximum of 40 guests. There are large viewing windows and an outdoor viewing deck that provide an up-close and personal experience while you observe and photograph the animals in their natural surroundings. You will be on the boat for approximately two hours on this Juneau cruise excursion, in an area that the whales frequent every summer. After the whale watching tour, your transportation will take you back to downtown Juneau.
