Whale & Marine Mammal Viewing Tour
WHY OUR TOUR FEELS DIFFERENT
More Time to Experience Wild Alaska
You didn’t travel all the way to Alaska for a rushed photo opportunity. You want time to watch wildlife, take in the scenery, and experience what being on the waters of Southeast Alaska actually feels like.
That’s why your Whales & Lunch adventure includes a longer tour and a small-group experience. Our fast catamaran gives your captain more range to search for wildlife and travel farther when sightings aren’t nearby. Its shallow draft also allows access to areas larger vessels may not be able to explore.
When wildlife is located, the goal isn’t to snap one photograph and immediately rush back. Whenever conditions, wildlife behavior, and responsible viewing practices allow, you’ll have time to slow down and enjoy the encounter.
You’ll also have two important guarantees for greater peace of mind:
Back-to-Ship Guarantee
Your tour is planned around your ship’s all-aboard time. Afterward, you’ll be returned to your designated drop-off location—typically the Berth 3 area or, when arranged, Ward Cove—with enough time to reboard your ship.
Marine-Mammal Sighting Guarantee
Wild animals never follow a schedule, and no responsible tour operator can promise that a whale will perform—or even appear. However, if no marine mammals are seen during your tour—including whales, seals, sea lions, sea otters or porpoises—each full fare paying guest will receive $100 cash at the end of the trip.
Our fast boat, longer tour and experienced captain give you more time and range to search for the wildlife you came to Alaska hoping to see.
Bring binoculars or use ours, dress in warm layers, and prepare to experience wild Alaska from the water.
