The first excursion we book the minute we confirm our Alaska cruise dates each year is whale watching. After going out with numerous captains during our dozen Alaska cruises, we can say that Captain Steve of Alaska Humpback Adventures is unparalleled in the waters around Juneau. Cannot recommend them enough for an intimate whale watching experience (6-passenger boat).  A longtime Juneau resident, Captain Steve was the #1 captain for Harv & Marv's whale watching operation for years (which is where we "discovered" him) before he started his own company. The waters around Juneau are teeming with life so even if you don't luck out with a sighting of bubble-net feeding humpbacks, Captain Steve will make sure you've had a wildlife adventure by the time you return to the dock!  We usually see humpbacks, orcas, Stellar sea lions, bald eagles, various water fowl, and often Dall's porpoises. This year, there are at least two humpback calves in the area so there should be plenty of breaching and frolicking to be observed!  With the wildlife and the gorgeous scenery (including glaciers), this excursion is always memorable.

 

Check out the fantastic reviews on TripAdvisor (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g31020-d14070218-Reviews-Alaska_Humpback_Adventures-Juneau_Alaska.html\).  The four-hour excursion still leaves time to check out Mendenhall Glacier, Mt. Roberts Tram or any number of other Juneau attractions. They can be reached at 907.209.7005 and www.alaskahumpbackadventures.com.

Here is an interview with a retired Alaska tour guide and guest lecturer for the cruise lines and his suggestions for Juneau.

We have used Harv & Marv but was leaning toward Jayleen's Alaska as she was our captain on Harv & Marv. I will check out Alaska Humpback tho before August 202 when we go. Both of these 2 have the 6 passenger boats also.
