Juneau: Whale Watching and Wildlife Cruise with Local Guide – Alaska, United States

EXPERIENCE

Head out on a wildlife adventure in Juneau on a whale watching cruise. Glide over the ocean in search of these marvellous creatures, taking in the impressive surrounding coastal landscape as you sip on drinks and tuck into snacks onboard.

Begin your adventure in downtown Juneau at the central cruise ship terminal. Enjoy a narrated and scenic drive to the small boat harbor, where you meet your captain and crew.

Board your state-of-the-art whale watching boat, built specifically for this purpose. After a short safety briefing, embark on a search for whales and other wildlife off the coast of Alaska.

As your boat navigates protected ocean waterways and channels, ride in comfort with multiple viewing decks and restrooms onboard. As you search for whales, learn about the area’s flora and fauna from your local guide.

Once whales are spotted, view the animals from a safe distance with plenty of photo opportunities. Marvel at their majestic beauty as they glide smoothly through the water, hopefully seeing a whale breach out of the ocean or slap its tale on the surface.

Keep a lookout for other water wildlife along the way, including seals, sea lions, eagles, and more. Once you’ve soaked up this natural landscape, return back to the boat harbor where your driver will bring you back to downtown Juneau.
