An incredible day exploring Kenai Fjords. The scenery was spectacular, with stunning glaciers up close, rugged coastline, and plenty of wildlife along the way. The cruise was well organised, comfortable, and the crew were friendly and informative. A fantastic experience and definitely a highlight of our Alaska trip!

We were fortunate to have scheduled this in September, despite coming from a 4,000 passenger ship. Our kayak journey consisted of the four of us and a guide. We traversed a seaway, circled an island, saw eagles, seals, and tidal creatures. We had learned and continuous information from our very amenable guide, Lucy. It was a morning well-spent.

Amazing Alaskan Whale Watching Experience

Juneau Wildlife Whale Watching & Mendenhall Glacier

Amazing Alaskan Whale Watching Experience
Far and away the best experience we had on our recent Alaskan cruise. Our whale watching team was incredible (Captain James, Griffin and Sophie). So knowledgeable and engaging…we were able to see not only Himback bubble feeding, but the extra added bonus of a pod of Orcas. Absolutely thrilling, made more so by the informative guides. Special shout out also to our driver Fred, who is quite the character. Highly highly recommended.

Whale watching and glacier view
We really enjoyed Dolphin Boat tours whale watching experience. Naturist-Savannah and Captain Jake were great. We were able to view several humpback whales in the area and they knew them by name. Tour bus driver Joseph was informative. The Mendenhall Glacier experience was okay but it was self guided and we did not know where to go but the welcome center had great information about the glacier.

Humpbacks in Juneau
We only had clear visibility of the glacier for a few minutes because of rainy weather but we did get a clear view briefly. The whale watching was amazing! Monica, Krishelle and Claire were a fantastic crew. We saw several humpback whales and a couple even surfaced right next to the boat.

Alaska Whale Watching Cruise: 3 Hours on the Water
Pioneer24835883835, Sep 2026
Great Whale experience
This was the best excursion out of all we did on the cruise. Tess and Stephen were great. Tess’s enthusiasm about whales made it even better. We learned so much about whales it was like the best class trip. Stephen was truly the whale whisperer because he found lots for us to see. The boat was new it held 49 people but it was great because there were only 14 of us. Snacks and Drinks were offered too. This particular whale cruise was better than what our Holland ship offered.
