First up: the best times to go whale watching!
Whale watching is a year-round activity in Juneau, but from May to September are the best months for spotting a variety of whales! During May and September, you have a higher chance of seeing humpback whales, killer whales, minke whales, and even porpoises. Recall last summer, when we encountered a pod of killer whales leaping right in front of us? Such a memorable moment!
