We had a wonderful time on this whale watching excursion. Exceeded our expectations. Getting to view a bubble feeding by the humpbacks was incredible.
via Viator
The bus ride was very...
The bus ride was very nice. The ship captain was horrible. There were several boats out who got spectacular shots, we were not one of them. He would chase 1 spout when there was 3 in the other direction. Just common sense was lacking.

Don’t miss this tour!
What a wonderful and knowledge group! We thoroughly enjoyed our whale watching experience. The captain and his crew was wonderful and so helpful!

We enjoyed the experience. We were able to see some whale water spouts and it's hump, but it refused to lift it's tail out of the water. There were no whales frolicking and jumping out of the water. The captain did try to find some others for us to see, but there weren't any at the time of our trip. We did see sea lions and Mendanhall Glacier from the boat. The transfer over to the crab shack was a bit iffy. There was no mention or directions as to what we were supposed to do or show once we got to Tracy's. The cashier wasn't sure what to do with the little ticket from the boat tour. She went to ask someone and then took our order. The line to order wasn't as long as it was earlier. The food was delicious! Don't wait to the last minute to use the restroom. They only have one, not one of each.

Ultimate Whale Watch and Tracy's Crab Shack Meal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Juneau.
How much does Ultimate Whale Watch and Tracy's Crab Shack Meal cost?
+
Prices start at $274 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Juneau usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ultimate Whale Watch and Tracy's Crab Shack Meal take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Juneau is not rushed.
Is Ultimate Whale Watch and Tracy's Crab Shack Meal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 644 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Juneau, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ultimate Whale Watch and Tracy's Crab Shack Meal?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ultimate Whale Watch and Tracy's Crab Shack Meal suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ultimate Whale Watch and Tracy's Crab Shack Meal?
+
Around 225 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Juneau can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Juneau and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ultimate Whale Watch and Tracy's Crab Shack Meal start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Juneau within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Juneau?
+
Juneau runs Mendenhall Glacier trips, whale watching in Auke Bay, helicopter glacier landings with dog sledding, and rainforest hikes. Most tours are timed to cruise ship windows, so we weight clear duration and pickup detail. On Outty we rank every Juneau experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Juneau Wildlife Whale Watching, Juneau Wildlife Whale Watching & Mendenhall Glacier, Whales and Wilderness Exploration. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Juneau?
+
May to September, peaking for humpbacks in June and July. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Juneau?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ultimate Whale Watch and Tracy's Crab Shack Meal?
+

Where is the meeting point for Ultimate Whale Watch and Tracy's Crab Shack Meal?
+
