Wildlife extravaganza and a boat ride too
FABULOUS! Absolutely fabulous - highly recommend for any wildlie enthusiast. We saw Puffins, Sea Lions, Sea Otters, Dall Sheep and amazing scenery. The Captain and crew were very alert to widlife and were very accomodating so both sides of the boat got a viewing opportunity. I was also pleased that our Captain was not a "Road Hog" and made sure that other ships got to see our sightings as well. A great experience.

Great trip for your first day in Anchorage
A great experience - highly recommend. Our Guide, Maria was knowledgeable and pleasant. We toured the Turnagain Arm, The Wildlife Sanctuary and saw salmon spawning in a creek. A very pleasant trip. My only suggestion for future travelers is to pack your own lunches if possible. The place that the tour stops for lunch is quite nice and the food is quite good but it was a little too expensive for our budget.

A Beautiful Ketchikan Adventure
From the start of our adventure to the end, myself and my boyfriend enjoyed every minute! Our guides Cole and Nellie, were eager to show and teach us about the beautiful mountains, lake, plants, trees, and wildlife. They took so many pictures for all of us as well. I dont get to experience much ATV riding where I live, so to be able to ride along and see this truly stunning place made it unforgettable. If your looking for views, and a off-roading experience, I highly recommend this tour! I wish we could have road around all day!

Rainy day at Mendenhall
Our tour guide was great. He provided lots of interesting information. The tour provided the perfect amount of time for a group of nine with 2 small children to enjoy the glacier and waterfall. Due to the rain, I wish there had been more than a small covered area to wait for the trolley at the end of the excursion. We had to stand in the rain because there was no covered space available. We had a longer wait than expected because the trolley was running late to the pick up spot, for reasons out of the guide’s control.

No dolphins but lots of whales! Lots of fun.
New York City
Mendenhall Glacier and Whale Watching Tour
Clayton_B, Sep 2026
No dolphins but lots of whales! Lots of fun.
This excursion, while not part of a cruiseline experience was phenomenal and well worth it. It starts with a short walk to the Gold line Tram building. You want to be underneath of the wires on the parking lot side of the building and find thepeople holding a blue sign with yellow letters that say dolphin jet boat tours. You then take a short bus ride to a harbor. They load you up on a jet boat which for the ride out there is fully enclosed. Super comfortable. Couple of bumpsdeom waves. there's a naturalist on board telling you lots of different things about the area. The island that your circumnavigating whales and other Marine animals. I was really surprised about how well the other captains on board worked together to find the best whales to make the experience as good as it can be for the people on board the boats. When we do find whales they open up the hatches and allow folks to go outside and review the wildlife. At the end of the tour everybody comes back inside. We zip right back to the harbor. Then we board back on the bus. Then they take us over to the MendenHall glacier visitor center and we go and visit that location. The Mendenhall glacier as quickly melting and receding, so we were lucky to see it in our lifetime. Did I mention hot chocolate and coffee and snacks on the boat?
