The Great Outdoors is at its best in Alaska, where whales, seals and other marine life roam free. While you’re in port in Juneau, hop-on a whale-watching adventure for the ultimate Alaskan shore excursion. The boat captain will take you on a search for whales in Auke Bay, Favorite Channel, Stephens Passage, Lynn Canal or Saginaw Channel, while onboard naturalists tell you about the marine life. Binoculars are provided for your added viewing pleasure.
Sightings of all marine life are a joy, but you’ll gasp the loudest when you see humpback whales, which feed in the nutrient- rich Alaskan waters. When a whale is spotted, your captain will slow down to allow you to go outside on the viewing decks for excellent photo opportunities and an up- close experience. In addition, hydrophones may be lowered into the water to allow you to hear the whales communicate with each other.
Following the scenic 2-hour cruise, visit the impressive Mendenhall Glacier, an amazing sight to behold. The glacier is located in the center of the Mendenhall Valley, which is located between Downtown Juneau and Auke Bay. You will have approximately 45 to 60 minutes near Mendenhall Glacier, where you may enjoy the scenery or take a stroll on one of the numerous trails. While you visit the glacier, you may take photos or search for different types of wildlife. Choosing the Mendenhall Glacier and the whale-watching adventure as a combo will allow you to make the most of your short time in Juneau.

Which animals may be sighted on the Juneau Whale Watching Adventure?
Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)
During the season humpback whales are spotted on more than 99% of
tours. There are many humpback whales that feed, socialize and play in
the waters near Juneau from mid-April through October. Humpbacks are
among the most playful whales, and often breach (leap from the water),
bubble net feed and slap their tails. Humpback whales are seen more
often than any other mammal. Most of the humpback whales here in Juneau
spend their winter in Hawaii. There are a few humpback whales that can
be found here year round. Length up to 56 feet (17 meters).
Orca (Orcinus orca)
Orca whales, also known as "killer" whales, can be seen any day of the
year in the Juneau area. These hunters search for salmon and small
marine mammals over a large area. A pod of orcas is spotted every five
to 15 days during the summer, as they hunt nearby. Orcas are active and
fast-moving, and stay in tight family groups for their entire lives. The
family pod will travel together, with the dominate males traveling in a
separate group nearby. The orcas can be seen with their fins rising out
of the water the alpha male with the tallest of the group. Length up
to 30 feet (9.1 meters).
Dall's Porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli)
The strikingly marked, fast-swimming porpoises love to ride the bow
wave of a boat. They are very playful and will often jump out of the
water, delighting passengers. These animals are seen on most trips until
July, and then occasionally through September. These fun playful
creatures are a wonderful addition to any trip. Length up to 6.5 feet (2
meters).
Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)
These quiet, shy animals are hard to spot and rarely surface more than
once near boats. They are occasionally seen in passing. Length up to 6
feet (1.8 meters).
Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus)
Steller sea lions are curious and often approach the boat singly or in
groups. Occasionally, these animals are known to steal fish from your
fishing line. They can be seen hauled out on channel markers or rocks
from April through September and can be heard grunting continually while
they sun themselves. Hundreds live near Juneau. Endangered with a
declining population in western Alaska, they doing better in southeast
Alaska. Length up to 10.5 feet (3.2 meters).
Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina)
Harbor seals are common, but shy and reclusive. These animals often
haul out on rocks or blocks of ice. They can be seen as their small
round heads bob in and out of the water. Seals exhale as they dive and
can reach great depths. Hundreds live near Juneau and are seen on many
tours. These cute creatures are a favorite photo opportunity for many
passengers. Length up to 5 feet (1.5 meters).

Saw a few whales in the distance. Know you can't control nature. Too quick to get a photo.

We saw whales. We saw a young male breech several times. The toilet on the boat was fine, but the trash can inside was overflowing when we got on and the hand sanitizer bottle was empty. The captain was nice and knew where to look for whales, but I don't understand the decision to return to the harbor over rough water instead of going back the way we came. It spoiled the trip because it made me feel sick. We ended up skipping the glacier portion.

my only complaint is that the meeting place was said to be at the pier where the ship docked but actually it was at the tramway so i missed my 11:30 trip but caught the 1:00 but i was lucky that there was a vacancy at 1:00

Very good experience. The captain female - forgot name and deck mate female - forgot name - one of them was Amy were wonderful. Saw at least 8 whales. Saw 4 of them breach. The boat was comfortable. The bagel with salmon creme cheese spread was great. Also had hot chocolate. The deck mate was pleasant and seemed very knowledgeable about whales. We spent about 45 minutes at the Glacier, which was sufficient to view the glacier and the info center. A 15 minute movie was playing but I missed it twice my fault. A similar excursion was 65 more thru the cruise ship.

Whale watching awesome with a great Skipper and Mate. Trip ran like clockwork but totally relaxed.

We saw plenty of whales. One even jumped out of the water. It was too quick for a pic.

Lots of whales and friendly guides on a small but comfortable boat that made for easy viewing.

The staff was great but we never saw a full view of a whale. I know you had a disclaimer but it was an expensive for not seeing even a tail of a whale.

The Whale Watching part of the tiour was really very good and we saw quite a few whales in their natural habitat. I wush I could say the same for Mendenhall Glacier tour. The time alloted by the bus operator was very short: only 50 minutes to walk 3 miles, watch the glacier and the falls.While coming back one of our companions developed leg cramps. As a result we were delayed by 10 minutes. Since the cell phone was not working, I ran to inform the operator. In spite of that we had to hear an earful of unwelcome comments from the operator and fellow passengers.
Although I had previously taken couple of tours by Viator, now I have to think twice befor booking the next one.

While whale watching tour was great, the Mendenhall Glacier tour was a disaster. We were not told how much we have to walk and how long it will take. My friend had a cramp in the leg while walking back and we were late for 10 minutes! The co-passengers and the driver were very unfriendly! The tour can be improved if you are given more details and guidance on the tour length and timing.
