Autumn clearly has a passion for whales and gave us enough education to fuel our fire for the animals. We saw calves and Sasha and we were treated with the experience of a whale breaching right in front of the boat! Overall a wonderful experience and looking forward to another tour with ATA! Also to mention the wonderful salmon bake! Fresh fish and live music with covered seating and a creekside view. The short hike to the waterfall was fun too! Special shout out to our wonderful bus driver too! She drives the "sunshine" bus and while her name escapes me, her impression does not! She pointed out an eagle's nest, told stories of the legendary wolf Romeo, and gave us a quick but detailed history of the town. Bonus that she's from our neck of the woods!

Getting us immediately suited. Getting us separated in groups for the rafts. Issue: i understand the weight balance but my four year old was placed on the outside and it made for a nerve racking trip for me holding on to him for dear life! My issue- our tour guide. Nice and strong but I couldn't understand anything he was telling us because I was in the front and he has a very very thick accent. I feel like my oldest did not get the experience I hoped for because of the language barrier. Aka she didnt learn anything. Overall, it's beautiful and fun. But cold. We did get wet. It's still Alaska and still amazing. Still suggest.

The boat is clean and beautiful and my 7 and 8 year old had a blast. Don't book through the cruise ships. Book straight through this company. They are an Alaskan gem. You won't regret it.

Put us on the fish and absolutely wrecked the halibut and cod. Deb ran the back of the boat like it was her life's mission to ensure we all caught fish. The skipper put us on the fish and was a wealth of knowledge about the area, the regulations and was a damn good skipper. His communication skills with his guests was excellent and the communication between he and Deb should be TED Talk. We saw whales like we were on a whale watching boat, (they breached), sea lions and eagles. Really an excellent trip and we look forward to eating our catch when we get home. Honestly, even if we were unsuccessful with catching any fish, (it's called fishing, not catching), they still would have gotten an excellent review. This team was amazing.

Hey Yelpers!!! Wanted to post about my experience with Juneau Sportfishing. Booked the excursion…read morethrough my cruise ship (NCL). I had a great experience with this company. Captain Matt and deckhand Billy did an awesome job all around. Captain Billy was knowledgeable of the spots to look for fish and Billy was very fast at getting the lines in the water and helping us when we did hook up. When we were wrapping up, Billy prepped the fish we caught. If you are staying locally, you can just take them with you. I've f you are on a ship, like me, they have a company that will process and ship your fish home for you. It's not cheap, especially if you catch a lot of fish. You also have the option of releasing the fish you catch. That's up to you. The bus ride to and from the port was very nice. They still provide you with a snack bag of crackers, some different spreads (one was smoked salmon, another a soft cheese), and some sliced sausage. It was very nice. It was overall a great experience and I would definitely go out with Captain Matt again. I will end with this... My review is not based on how we did. It's fishing, and you gotta know going in that you might not catch anything. A guide should help your chances, but nothing is for certain. Go for the experience. Enjoy the beauty of Alaska and the wildlife that is around you. This is a good way to do it. Check them out! By the way, my group of 5 people did well...

Even though I got stuck in the middle of a zip line, between our zip line adventure and our visit…read moreto the sled dog musher's camp in the same day, it was hard to imagine a more perfect day in Alaska. The trip here started with a motor boat trip past pretty pretty scenery (see the picture I uploaded of a stream trickling down the mountain) to an abandoned gold mine. So far it's sounding like a Scooby Doo episode, but sadly there's no Ghost of Yukon Joe scaring off young whippersnappers from stealin' his claim. From there you're driven in an ATV up the steepest incline ever (30 degrees?) to the zip lines. This was our first time ever zip lining and I was afraid I'd be afraid, but I felt very calm the entire time and very safe, and was more interested in looking around while in the air. We considered zip lining on our honeymoon in Thailand - I'm sure the place in Thailand was insured, right? - but we decided to do it in the States instead so we wouldn't die. Our two guides carefully showed us everything we needed to know and then we were off, flying through the rainforests. We were told some segments took 30 seconds to zip across. I'm not sure if that's an exaggeration or if time felt like it passed faster while we were doing it. The highest segment was 180 feet off the ground. So yeah, I did get stuck in the middle of one of the lines. My glove got caught in the mechanism at the top of the zip line. Thankfully I wasn't scared - I just thought it was funny - and one of the guides rescued me. Our group of 8 - 6 strangers and ourselves - was pretty awesome. It even felt like the instructors wanted to hang with us, like we were the coolest group ever. The instructors warned us about banging into each other since we're all attached to the same lines, and after that there were a lot of banging jokes. It was noted that if you don't move your hand away in time after zipping down one of the lines you could get "finger banged." Our guides were really fun and one (Tyler?) would punctuate sentences by suddenly flying off down a zip line. If you thought smashing a phone down was a good way to punctuate a sentence, you've never seen someone suddenly fly away. You can bring your camera (hence all my photos attached to this Yelp review). You can also have one of the guides shoot a video for you of what it's like to zip down one of the lines. At the end of the zip lines there's a really high suspension bridge that makes for great photo ops, and then you get to repel down from the platform. When it was all over we were given medals and a snack. We felt like contestants on The Amazing Race for the afternoon.

Maggie and Riley were great guides through the course and encouraged anyone that was feeling a little scared. I mean, you're hundreds of feet up trees with a cable holding you! The excursion started with a a boat ride to the beach and then you take a short walk to the base camp to get all geared up and ready to go! After that, you take a ride in a Mercedes 4x4 truck, up the mountain not before you take a group photo, though : and from there you take a slightly steep short hike up the mountain to arrive at your 1st practice zipline. After you get the practice line out of the way, it's all awesomeness that follows! The views are amazing and the thrill of zipping on a 180ft line at 35mph is indescribable! Oh, and the suspension bridges are pretty awesome too...although they were the scariest part for me lol. My husband and 14 y/o daughter also did the excursion and loved it as well. We'd do it again and you won't regret taking a few hours out of your day to have this once in a lifetime experience! P.S. You even get a nice medal at the end of the tour to prove you "survived"! :) Great touch!

One of the best experiences of my life!…read more We had to helicopter to the top of a glacier (Hilbert) to get to the dog camp, and as we circled the camp, I could see the dogs. I got so excited I could barely wait for the chopper to land! When they opened the doors to let me out, I forgot to detach my headset, and when I jumped out, the cord pulled me back in. Pretty hilarious! My feet hit the ground, and I was off, and I was so excited that I fell on my face. I got up and ran again, and boom! Down I went I again! When I finally met the guides (all dressed in fur hats, tshirts, and boxer shorts--it was a warm day atop the snowy/icy glacier--60 degrees F!), they were all hugs and smiles and said they'd never seen anyone so excited to be there. It's a pricey trip, and we were nervous that it might be a rip off, but our fears were instantly alloyed. Our guide, a very cute young man from Georgia, introduced to our sled team--twelve dogs in all. We got to spend lots of time with each dog, and most were really playful, and chomping at the bit to get sledding. Our guide took the time to show us all the maneuvers on the sled and how to adjust the ropes, and off we went over the beautiful glacier fields. We also got to talk to Sebastian, the proprietor of the kennels, and it is clear how much he loves the dogs, and how much they love him. The price is worth the scenery alone. Save up for this one and skip the ones where do they "sled rides" in wagons.
