(This price does not include the $3.00 per person cost if you would like to go into the Visitor Center). Next we continue to the beautiful Auke Bay (about 15 minutes north of Juneau). Auke Bay is positioned just about 30 minutes from some of the best feeding grounds for the endangered humpback whale. Humpback whales are most prevalent in the bay, however Orca (killer whales) are often sighted. The jet powered boats get in as close as possible to these gentle giants and then turn off the engines to allow for pictures and more serene experience. You may also view variety of other wildlife such as the harbor seal, bald eagles, stellar sea lions, Dalls porpoises as well as a wide variety of sea birds. We have done this tour many times over the past years with much success; we have never done a tour without seeing several whales. However please remember that these are wild animals and there is no guarantee that you will see any wildlife.
