Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the Wonderful Whales and Wildlife Tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but it's best suited for kids ages 5 and up since they need to stay safe and comfortable. The crew is really accommodating, and younger kids can definitely join if they can handle being out on the water. Just make sure to check the weather beforehand — it can get a bit choppy sometimes!

Q: How likely is it that the tour will be canceled due to weather?

A: Weather can be unpredictable in Alaska, but the crew is really experienced and they monitor conditions closely. They’ll usually notify you a day or two ahead if there’s a need to reschedule due to unsafe conditions. Just check their cancellation policy when booking — it’s pretty flexible.

Q: What should I wear for the whale watching tour?

A: Dress in layers! It can get chilly out on the water, so a good jacket and a hat are key. Waterproof shoes are recommended because the deck can be wet. Bring a light sweater or fleece too, just in case it gets breezy. You'll want to be comfortable to really enjoy the experience!

Just booked the Wonderful Whales and Wildlife Tour for my parents! Any tips?

I just bought this as a gift for my parents' anniversary, and I'm super excited! They're both in their 60s and love nature. I heard the captain is really knowledgeable, which is great. I'm curious about what else I might need to plan for (like parking or anything else I should include). Also, any must-sees on the tour?

What a fantastic experience on the Wonderful Whales tour!

I went on the Wonderful Whales and Wildlife Tour last month and it was incredible! The boat was super comfortable, and there were only 10 of us, so we had plenty of space to move around. The captain shared amazing stories about the area and we saw a pod of humpback whales! The snacks were a nice touch too, especially the hot chocolate. Highly recommend this!
