Experience the thrill of whale watching in Juneau and explore the Mendenhall Glacier. Enjoy a guided tour with a naturalist, and get a 100% guarantee of seeing whales or your money back.

Begin your adventure with a guided bus ride from downtown Juneau to Auke Bay. Board a specially designed boat with large windows, heated cabins, and outdoor decks. Set out on the open Alaskan waters, where your captain and naturalist guide will take you in search of humpback and killer whales, sea lions, porpoises, and more.


Cruise through Favorite Channel, Stephens Passage, Lynn Canal, or Saginaw Channel, all popular spots for spotting Southeast Alaska's finest wildlife. Enjoy up-close viewing of Alaska's most incredible creatures while listening to your guide's insights.


Once a whale is spotted, the captain will slow down, allowing you to head out on the decks for a truly unique and up-close experience. With plenty of time on the water, you're sure to see an array of spouts, tails, breaches, and more from these magnificent whales.


After your whale-watching adventure, head to the world-famous Mendenhall Glacier. Take in the massive and mighty glacier, an explosive river of ice with rugged crevasses and vibrant blue color. At the glacier visitor center, you will have approximately 45 minutes to explore the walking paths and the U.S. Forest Service Visitor Center.


Make sure you have your camera ready to snap photos of the famous Black Bears feeding on Wild Alaskan Salmon as you walk along raised trails over salmon spawning streams.


Your final excursion voucher with comprehensive Meeting Instructions will be issued 4 weeks before your excursion date.
