Juneau Boat Tour

Intimate Juneau Whale Watching and Wildlife Adventures

Escape the crowds and step aboard a different kind of Juneau, Alaska whale watching experience, led by someone who’s not only behind the wheel but deeply connected to the sea, the wildlife, and you.

At Tongass Tides, owner and lifelong Alaskan William personally captains each tour. His passion for nature, photography, and meaningful guest experiences sets this trip apart from the big-box tours that prioritize volume over connection. With a max of six passengers per boat, every public boat tour feels like a personalized adventure.
