Paddle with Whales! Private Boat Charter

Having been picked up and transported to a boat harbor north of Juneau, you’ll board our small boat and be whisked away to the Channel Islands State Marine Park while scanning the seas for marine wildlife. If a whale is spotted, have the option to jump into a kayak straight from the boat and join them in their journey. Once you have completed your kayak exploration, be treated to a high quality delicious gourmet picnic of local Juneau favorites.

From both water and land, you may see humpback whales, harbor seals, steller sea lions, dall’s porpoise, harbor porpoise, orca, numerous bird species including bald eagles and blue heron, and deer or river otters along the shore. Throughout this trip, our expert guides and boat captain will share their local knowledge of the area and interesting information about the wildlife and their behaviors. Be prepared to take in the beauty of glaciers off in the distance and the majestic mountains of the Chilkat and Coast Ranges. After the water taxi cruise back to the harbor, our van will be awaiting your return to drive you back to Juneau.

Suitable for all experience levels, this eco-adventure is sure to provide a new perspective on what’s possible in the world of remote Southeast Alaskan island exploration and is the preeminent paddling and island adventure in Southeast Alaska.
