Juneau or Icy Straight Point for whales

[Azfunseeker]

We are looking to do a whale watch in either Icy Straight or Juneau. Having been to Hawaii and seen humpbacks a few times, I'm also really hoping to see some orcas. Is that more likely in one of the two spots? I know there are no guarantees of wildlife sighting, but anyone have experience with both spots that could weigh in if there is a benefit to one place or the other? We will be there the first week of June if that matters

They are equally good for whale watching. I have done many tours out of each.

 

I suggest you take a look at your entire touring schedule and make choices on what fits your preferences best.

I did whale watching last year in both ports. At ISP it was all humpbacks but saw lots of orcas in Juneau as well as humpbacks.

I'm sure it can vary but that's how it was on my trips.

 

Enjoy your cruise.
