Experience the best of Juneau with a thrilling whale watching cruise followed by an all-you-can-eat Alaskan salmon bake in a scenic rainforest setting.

Your adventure begins in Auke Bay, a pristine marine habitat with breathtaking views of mountains and glaciers. Board a state-of-the-art, 48-passenger jet boat, designed for optimal whale watching, and set off in search of humpback and orca whales actively feeding in the nutrient-rich waters. On clear days, you’ll even catch a stunning view of Mendenhall Glacier as you depart the dock.

Juneau is home to a thriving humpback whale population, with around 65 whales returning each season. Your expert captain will let you know when a whale is spotted, but you’ll likely hear the excited gasps from fellow passengers first! Whale sightings are guaranteed, and if no whales are seen, you’ll receive a $100 refund ($50 for children).

Enjoy panoramic views from the outdoor deck, or stay cozy inside the heated cabin with oversized windows. Binoculars are available for a closer look at whales, Steller sea lions, bald eagles, and other wildlife.

Following your cruise, you’ll head to the Gold Creek Salmon Bake, featured on Bravo’s Top Chef, where wild Alaska salmon grills over an open alder wood fire. This all-you-can-eat feast also includes Cheechako chicken, Chilkoot baked beans, Tongass wild-rice pilaf, hot chowder, fresh salads, and homemade blueberry cake. Beer and wine are available for purchase.

After your meal, explore the scenic rainforest. Stroll along Salmon Creek, visit the Wagner Mine, and pan for gold just like the early prospectors. Roast marshmallows over a campfire, listen to live folk music, or snap a photo at the interactive gold rush mural.

With frequent shuttle service, you can stay as long as you like before returning to the pier. Don’t miss this chance to experience Juneau’s incredible wildlife and flavors all in one unforgettable tour!
