Whale watching in Alaska

Keep your eyes open and your cameras ready as you cruise among the San Juans, which provide the best opportunities in the world for viewing killer whales. We’ve chosen the best place and time for these fabulous creatures.

You’ll stand at the bow, astonished and speechless, studying these individualistic animals feasting on salmon. You’ll get to know individual whales and their family relationships, and learn their vocalizations – an enriching experience far more rewarding than merely “seeing” the whales. Your intimate encounters will be a highly personal and emotional experience, a unique access to the world of the whales!
