Whale watching in Alaska

[abby1257]

Hello everyone.  We have booked our 2nd Alaska Cruise for Sept 1/25. We definately want to do a whale watching excursion.  Our ports include Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan…looking for recommendations of which port and excursion anyone has done, thanks so much

Juneau is the port for whale watching. We've cruise Alaska a number of times and tried several vendors in Juneau. We prefer a small boat. Our current favorite is Jayleen's company.

We did the Carnival Luxury Yacht excursion in Juneau.  We saw whales, but none breached.  It was enjoyable but we did not feel like the value was there considering the cost of the excursion.  YMMV. During our cruise it seemed like the best sightings were in Hoonah (bubble feeding and breaching) and Ketchikan (the whales were very close to the docks and breached multiple times).
