Assateague Island Princes Posted April 12, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yes, most certainly Juneau - but don't forget Icy Strait Point (Hoonah) too! Excellent whale watching there is a well!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget Queen Posted April 12, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Your whale watch tours out of Juneau have 100% sightings of Humpbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddymum Posted April 12, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Is Juneau a good port to book a whale watching cruise? We were in Juneau last July on Celebrity Infinity. We did an independent tour which we booked when we got off the ship. Cost was a lot cheaper than the ship tours and you had plenty of choice. We saw loads of humpbacks and it was a spectacle we will never forgot. Hope you have as good a time as we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_mori7 Posted April 12, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Short excerpts of our trip in August 2010. Filmed in Juneau, GREAT excursion. Dress warm and stay up top on the excursion boat. Our operator was so confident, they said "if we don't see whales, everybody gets a shiny new $100 bill as they walk off the boat". Apologies for the dizzy camera work by my DW, I was busy with the Nikon & telephoto lens (you can hear me snapping away in the back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
