Whales, Waterfalls & Taku Glacier Inlet Expedition
A short stroll through downtown Juneau brings you to the departure point for this small-group wildlife safari, taking you into some of southeast Alaska's most spectacular waters. Accompanied by a knowledgeable naturalist guide, set off to explore the scenic waterways surrounding Juneau, including the breathtaking Taku Glacier Inlet, in search of humpback whales. Sightings are guaranteed, or you'll receive $100 back. These nutrient-rich waters also attract Steller sea lions, harbor seals, porpoises, bald eagles, and a variety of other Alaska wildlife. Your custom-built safari vessel is fully U.S. Coast Guard certified and inspected, featuring a covered cabin, open bow, large panoramic windows, and a low-to-the-water viewing platform ideal for wildlife observation and photography. Get up close to towering granite cliffs, dramatic coastal landscapes, and a cascading immersive waterfall experience. Return to nearby Auke Bay for the drive back to the ship with incredible photographs and lasting memories of Alaska's coastal wilderness.
What you will see along the way:
Take in views of the awesome Taku Glacier, a tidewater glacier recognized as the deepest and thickest alpine temperate glacier in the world. Explore the scenic waters surrounding Juneau and the spectacular Taku Glacier Inlet on a personalized experience with plenty of opportunities to ask questions, take photographs, and fully appreciate the tranquil wilderness. Along the way, take in breathtaking views of waterfalls, glacial landscapes, and the rugged Coast Mountains before returning to enjoy Juneau's lively downtown waterfront.
Snack:
Refresh during your wildlife safari with some tasty trail mix and water.

Special Notes
The operator of this tour guarantees that a whale will be sighted on this excursion May 15 through September 15 or participants will receive $100 from the tour operator. To follow best practices in responsible and sustainable tourism, no guarantee is offered prior to May 15 of after September 15; however, the whale-sighting success rate is highly likely. Guests must be able to walk approximately 400 yards (about 1/4 mile) from the cruise ship to the vessel. All walking is on paved surfaces or stable, wide floating docks. Boarding requires navigating two steps onto the vessel and crossing a harbor ramp that varies in steepness depending on the tide; at low tide, the ramp can be quite steep. All tour participants are eligible to enter to win cash prizes in the tour operator's Capture Juneau Photo Contest.
