Creator's Key Takeaways

my favorite part of the whale watching experience actually happened when everyone is on the opposite side of the boat watching for whales and my daughter and i were on our own on the other side just watching a sea lion swimming around having a grand old time

if you are an able-bodied adult please please move out of the way for children the elderly or those that may have special needs

everything about the excursion had been great up until this point we ended up waiting nearly one hour in the pouring rain with little to no communication from the tour company

we're just really grateful to be able to travel and have these experiences

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book independent tours through Juneau Tours for flexibility and potential savings.
โœ“Hold off on buying Mount Roberts Tramway tickets until arrival to assess weather.
โœ“Be considerate and move out of the way for children, elderly, or those with special needs during excursions.
