Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The tour was amazing and informative. Captain Mark, Guides Kristen and Kacie were in total control. They knew where to go to give us the ultimate whale watching experience, in addition to sharing their extensive education on Alaska's marine life. This tour was worth every penny, the memories and pictures we came away with are priceless!

It was a cloudy, rainy day, but that didn't put a damper on our day. Our Tour was fabulous. Captain Mike is very knowledgeable as to where to go to be sure to see Whale's. The crew, Rayne and Olive were very friendly and knowledgeable out the whales, their habitat and were great all around. I would totally recommend this tour to future travelers.

BEST of all the Whale Watching Excursions in Juneau! We would rate them 10 stars if we could! This is our third time to whale watch with Alaska Tales! And this was the BEST yet! Taylor, Larry, and Steph were our crew, and you can tell they truly enjoy their jobs! They were fun as well as informative! This time the whales were breaching! First time for us to witness that! WOW! We met Greg Pilcher, the owner about 10 years ago when we were going from kiosk to kiosk trying to choose an excursion. We just keep coming back as the years fly by! And it is always one of the highlights of cruising into Juneau. Just look for his kiosk, Alaska Tales! Ps- it is so much better to book directly rather than through the cruise line!

The crew was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and polite to everyone. Answering all questions and even recording some of the whale sightings to airdrop to everyone. We got to see a whole lot of whales!

Wonderful experience. Boats are modern, well maintained, and fun to be on. The guides and company are top notch. Everything ran on time, the whales were out and about, and all in all we had a great time. When picking a whale watching in Juneau, there are lots of options - but this is by far the best one.

Bucket list excursion! I’ve always anted to see whales in their habitat and we saw about 6 whales! The crew was very knowledgeable and so helpful. My dad has mobility issues and he was able to navigate this tour with no issues! Bus driver was great too!

Wonderful experience. We saw more whales than we could keep up with. The boat had an unusual design so the people inside could have an unobstructed view, even if other people were outside. Some people took pictures they were helped to match with a book of pictures that identified individual whales. Very dedicated staff. It was dark and raining when we returned and instead of dropping us at a central location, our bus driver took us each to our ship's gangways.

The crew was great including the bus driver on the way to the boat. Saw many whales and eagles. I would book with them again.

We were able to see plenty of whales & the tour guides (Larry, Greg, and Monica) gave us lots of context, lots of time and lots of great answers. :)
