Juneau Whale Watching

If whale watching is part of your Juneau plans, My 1st Travel helps you explore Harv & Marv’s whale-watching experiences, understand the differences, and choose the option that fits the experience you want.

What to Expect

Transportation Included

Roundtrip transportation between the cruise ship area and the harbor is included with your whale-watching experience.

Whale Watching in Juneau

Humpback whales are the main attraction, but every trip on the water is different. Your captain and crew search for whales while you experience the waters and scenery surrounding Juneau.

Mendenhall Glacier View

On the way to the harbor, every tour passes a viewpoint where you may be able to see Mendenhall Glacier. The glacier may not always be visible because of weather and visibility conditions.

Choose Your Whale Watching Experience

My 1st Travel offers four whale-watching experiences in Juneau. Marv’s Signature, Premier Catamaran, and Whale Watching & Lighthouse can be booked directly online. Private Whale Watch is arranged with assistance from My 1st Travel.

Marv’s Signature Whale Watch

Up to 18 Guests

A mid-sized whale-watching experience with up to 18 guests. A good choice if you want fewer passengers and a smaller vessel than the Premier Catamaran.

Premier Catamaran Whale Watch

Up to 49 Guests

Whale watch aboard a custom-built 49-passenger catamaran with heated cabins, two viewing decks, comfortable seating and onboard restrooms. A good choice if you prefer more space and larger-vessel amenities.

Whale Watching & Lighthouse

Whale Watching + Sentinel Island Lighthouse

Combine whale watching with a guided visit to historic Sentinel Island Lighthouse. This approximately 4-hour-and-15-minute experience also includes the glacier stop, making it a good choice if you want more than whale watching alone.

Private Whale Watch

Private Boat · Groups of 1–49

Reserve a whale-watching boat exclusively for your group. Private options are available for groups of different sizes. Speak with My 1st Travel to determine which private option fits your party before booking.
