About this activity

While docked in Juneau, head to Auke Bay, where more than 65 humpback whales migrate every year. These beautiful creatures will be the highlight of your 3.5-hour shore excursion as you float around the bay. Additionally, you may also be joined by Auke Bay’s other residents: bald eagles, harbor seals, porpoises and more!

The 48-passenger jet boat is built for sightseeing, featuring extra-large windows and an exterior observation deck – perfect for whale watching! As you cruise around the bay, your captain will announce when whales have been spotted! For an even closer look, you’re welcome to use the complimentary binoculars on board.

My family and I really enjoyed this tour the captain and naturalist did an amazing job!!. We saw at least 15 whalestales only and sea lions. Alaska is just so beautiful and touring around was just wonderful. The crew on the boat were just so accomadating. Our family would highly recommend this tour. We were on a cruise ship and with limited time off the ship, this tour really worked.

Even with all the rain it was a great experience. My one suggestion would be to pull closer to the dock for those that are handicapped or need more time to get to the boat. It was a long walk for my mom uses a cane, and I felt like we were holding up the rest of the group.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Our family had an amazing experience watching humpbacks at close range mostly fluking and Stellar Sea Lions on a rocky bar also at close range! Thanks to Captain Terry and especially Libby who was our guide and naturalist for making it meaningful and special! Highly recommended!!!

Great guide and boat captain! We had fantastic weather and saw a double breaching of whales.....that was literally a once in a lifetime experience. Boat is smooth and very tolerable for those who get seasick.
