Unbelievable! My wife and I took a 7 day Inside Passage cruise and this was by far the best experience of our trip. Climbing down into a cave under the Mendenhall glacier was something unexpected and was the best part of the trek. The hike to and from the glacier is no joke so be prepared for a very challenging day. I have climbed many mountains in Colorado and this was as difficult as any of the climbs I have done.

The staff on the boat were extremely rude and harsh. I would never have imagined I could have been treated so poorly.

We loved the Juneau whale watching and Mendenall Glacier tour. Everyone was so personal and we were treated so well. Glad we took this Whale watching as it was small and we were able to go front and back of the boat. Much better tha a larger boat. Thank you, have recomented you to others.

The weather was bad. We were transported on an old bus from the dock to the whale watching boat. There was so much condensation and humidity on the bus that it was hard to breathe. The whale watching part was a little disappointing since we saw them at a far distance. Couldn't get a good picture even with my 300 mm lens. The tour guide was knowledgeable. The Mendenhall Glacier tour was kept short to 15 minutes for some reason.

The Whale Watching Expedition was highly enjoyable. The naturalist and captain were both extremely knowledgeable about the whales and their habits. I would highly recommend the tour to future visitors in the Juneau area.
