DarceyJK Posted May 3, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2013 We are on NCL Jewel to Alaska with ports in Juneau, Skagway, Ketchican, and Victoria. Which of these is the best place to do helicopter/glacier tours and which would be best for whale watching? I'm SOOOOOO confused! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Russo Posted May 3, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I think Juneau is best for whale watching . Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted May 4, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Whale watching is best out of Juneau, 100% sightings of humpbacks. This can be combo booked with a glacier helicopter landing, unless you have a too short port time, which some of the NCL itineraries do. Glacier helicopter landings can be done out of Juneau or Skagway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarceyJK Posted May 4, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thank you so much for the advice. I booked a helicopter tour but I think I will try to add whale watching to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted May 4, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thank you so much for the advice. I booked a helicopter tour but I think I will try to add whale watching to it! How did you book this? It is superior to cobook whale watch and helicopter tours, so to SAVE at least an hour in transit time. I believe the round trip NCL Seattle sailings don't have a full day in Juneau? This would have to be booked independent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked it thru NCL, but I will cancel the helicopter tour and book a combination tour if I can find one. We are in the Haven so I have a concierge to help me with it all. I soooo much appreciate all of your help!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several independent vendors who would cobook these two tours for you. I highly recommend Orca Enterprises. Leave the Concierge out of this, they will have NO clue.
