Spend about 3 hours on the water, including boarding at the harbor, with Juneau's humpback whales aboard a custom two-level catamaran built for whale watching. Every guest gets a seat in a heated cabin, with large windows inside and viewing decks at the bow, the stern and up top. A captain and 1 to 2 naturalists narrate as you search the calm channels of the Inside Passage.

Hundreds of humpbacks feed near Juneau every summer, and they have been seen on 100% of our trips since 2004. Orcas appear on about 10% of trips, and you may also see Steller sea lions, Dall's porpoise, bald eagles and sea otters. Every tour includes a dedicated stop to view the Mendenhall Glacier from the water, weather permitting.

Our courtesy shuttle meets you at your cruise ship dock (or downtown Juneau on request) for the 25-minute ride to Auke Bay, and we guarantee you'll be back before your ship departs. Tours run rain or shine, with two restrooms, USB charging, coffee, tea and snacks on board.

Run by Harv & Marv's Outback Alaska, a locally owned Juneau company since 2005 and winner of a 2026 Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Award.
