They picked us up on time in front of the Cruise ship. We received a guided tour of the area on the way to the docks. The boat was small, there were a total of 6 people on our cruise. I think they said it holds 12. The Captain and his assistant talked about Juneau and kept us entertained while... More

We had a great time! It's well worh the money. We got to see killer whales which rarely ever happens. It was a really relaxing time. Our guides were great and made us really feel comfortable. We were on the 10 person tour and there were 6 of us so it was like a private tour. The captain was good... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our whale watching tour in Juneau! We had a smaller boat, which made us feel like we were on a private tour. The captain kept us entertained while we moved from area to area to watch the whales. We saw over twenty humpback whales during our trip, along with otters and porpoises. It was a very foggy... More

It was truly amazing! We saw several pods of Orcas- one actually breeched about 20 feet from the boat! Our captain said they have not seen an Orca do that in 3 years!! We saw sea lions and lots and probably 30 or 40 humpback whales! We have awesome photos of the whales in a dive. GREAT excursion!!

We LOVED our whale watching trip! It was so personalized - only our family of 4 , another couple and the captain! We followed a group of whales for about 40 minutes. The captain also took us by a buoy with sea lions and then around an island where he attracted some eagles - very exciting to watch them swoop... More

We used Alaska Galore on the recommendation of another tour company that was already booked full for our time in August. We wanted a smaller boat with less people to really enjoy the opportunity. We ended up with Captain Terry and only 2 other people on the boat. Terry was great! He was very personable and made every effort to... More

We were searching for a private option on the Whale watching tours (only 2 adults and 2 kids), so we contact Mendy and he was from the beginning very friendly and helpful. He explained us during the trip about the fauna and all the important things to notice during the journey. When we were in the spot where the whales... More

The drive to Juneau was longer than expected due to a major traffic accident, but while we were traveling our driver/tour guide told us everything there is to know about Juneau and the surrounding area. The Captain greeted us at the dock and boat trip out to the feeding grounds was very pleasant and informative. We saw more Orca's than... More

Thanks to this great staff! Mindy helped us find a fishing captain (Grant Moore) that helped my wheelchair bound husband get on his boat and we had the best time! He was so friendly and so was his crew hand! We caught salmon and laughed and joked the too short 4 hour day! Will book any further excursions w/ Alaska... More

I booked a whale watching excursion on line with Mendy for August 19, 2012. We were aboard the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Sea and stopped in Juneau. She was very helpful in giving us info about the dock and the distance from the downtown area. I normally do not book off the ship because I have seen others that... More
