cheermom6488 Posted January 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2013 My husband and I will be on the Volendam May 29-June 5. We will be in Juneau on May 31 and was wondering whether we should take the whale watch tour in Juneau or do the add on excursion to Tracy Arm from the ship and then do the evening whale watch. we are in Juneau from 1:300 until 10:30 pm after dropping off those interested in the add on TA excursion. We have never been to Alaska and want to see as much as possible. We do have an entire day of Glacier bay cruising as well as Skagwag, which we plan to do the Chilkoot train ride to Lake Bennett. Not sure about Ketchikan yet I do realize being so early we may not make it to TA, just wondering if we should chance it or not Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercruiser Posted January 12, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I don't have any personal experience with Tracy Arm. But I have been on whale watch trips a couple of times. For us, they are one of the highlights of Alaska. See my trip report on Juneau whale watching here: http://goldenalaska.wordpress.com/2012/07/30/juneau-monday-july-23/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have done it several times and had a very good time. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugaltravel Posted January 14, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2013 if you took the Tracy Arm excursion when does it return to Juneau? I would try to do both. and I would do the whale watch excursion independent from the cruise ship with a company like Harv & Marvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheermom6488 Posted January 15, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Tracey Arm tour gets back around 2:30 or 3 and Harv and Mar can do a 4:20 whale watch. We don't leave Juneau until 10:30 pm Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDallasDi Posted January 15, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Tracey Arm tour gets back around 2:30 or 3 and Harv and Mar can do a 4:20 whale watch. We don't leave Juneau until 10:30 pm Lynn Do them both! Tracy Arm is spectacular and is a "must experience" in my book. Book Harv and Marv for the 4:20 whale watch fast....before it gets full. What a wonderful day you'll have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 15, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 15, 2013 JMO -- but I wouldn't chance the Tracy Arm tour. Like others I would do the Whale Watch -- we have done quite a few of them and always love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
