Traveler reviews
Unfortunately the weather...
Unfortunately the weather was really bad. We went out on the boat and didn’t see any whales. They did give us a voucher for next time, though!
Amazing whale watching trip
Both adventures were terrific! Our crew on the whale watching trip, Michelle, Monica and Gwen were amazing. We were able to see multiple whales with two amazing breaches!!!!!
Fabulous Whale Watch and Glacier Views
Knowledgeable and engaging crew. An orca came up right beside our boat on the whale watch, and the glacier driver and guide did a great job as well.
Incredible Whale Watching Experience - Highly Recommend
I cannot recommend this company enough. I was hesitant to book an excursion outside of my cruise ship, worrying about making back to the ship in time, finding the location, etc. but am so glad that I took the chance. Alaska Tales made it so easy - the instructions were easy to follow to find them downtown. Our bus driver was awesome - gave us fun facts about the area, dropped us off at Mendenhall Glacier and then picked us up to go see whale watching. The whale watching was truly incredible - we saw so many whales including a baby whale breach twice. Our naturalist Gwen had so many fun facts including the ages of the whales, the names, etc. Her and the rest of the team were incredible.

Ash, Sophie and Dectzn were fabulous! Ash was so enthusiastic and energetic that you couldn't help to feel the same. She also shared pictures her friend to from a boat closer to the whales. The bus driver, which unfortunately I don't remember his name. They all contributed to an amazing experience I will never forget!
