We have great memories whale watching!

Published on Jan, 2025

The crew was awesome! They were very friendly and they assured us that we were going to see whales, and we did! We actually saw a rare bubble feeding which was a treat. The boat stayed out in the water for a long time so we could really take everything in. Jordan, Gwen, and Kacie were knowledgeable and gave us pictures and fun facts while we traveled on the water. We were a group of 5 adults, two of whom are seniors, and 3 children. It was a smooth and enjoyable ride for all. There was a bathroom on the boat and it was enclosed but the design still allowed us to go out in the open air when it was time to whale watch. I highly recommend them!

One of the best days of my life!

Published on Dec, 2024

We saw so many whales, including Orcas! Got amazing photos and learned so much from the knowledgeable staff. Still think about the whales and crew members that we got to know that day.

Awesome humpback whale watching tour

Published on Dec, 2024

My wife and I took a last minute trip with Alaska Tales due to being let down by a helicopter/ dog sledge ride that was cancelled 30min before the pick up. We where greeted by Nate who took us to big Mike, (the name of the boat we when out on) there where approximately 12 sightseeing on board. Our boat driver (captain) was Larry. On the way out Nate gave us a talk on humpback whales, which was very informative. We learned the the whale tails have markings which are like finger prints, every one is unique. So it was easy when they spotted a humpback called Flame with her calf called Sizzle. Who put on an amazing show for us. We got some beautiful pictures of her fluking and breeching, which is apparently unusual for a mother. Sizzle enjoyed playing too and got lots of breeching pictures. we both thought the trip and the two lads where amazing and well worth the price, we have some fantastic memories and even better pictures which our friends thought we downloaded from the internet they were so good. Thank you Nate and Larry for an awesome experience -one of our best ever excursions.
