Juneau Whale Watching and Wildlife Viewing

Offered by 49th Fathom Charters  In Juneau, Alaska

About us

49th Fathom Charters is located in the beautiful capital city of Juneau, Alaska.

No trip to Southeast Alaska would be complete without looking deeper into the natural beauty that surrounds this city, above and below sea level. From the gorgeous glaciers and mountains above, to the majestic whales and feisty fish that swim below, our personal charters are sure to fulfill everyone's wish list.

Departing out of Auke Bay Harbor, about 15 miles Northwest of downtown Juneau, allows us to get you out on the water quicker. From here we will be journeying through the protected waters of Alaska's well known Inside Passage, which provides some of the worlds greatest sportfishing and whale watching without the uncomfortable swells of the open ocean.

This is it, our playground and place where I call home. I would love the opportunity to take you 49 Fathoms deeper, showing you why there is no other place in the world I would rather play.

What we'll do

Did you know that Juneau is among the world's top destination for whale watching? Primarily a summer habitat for humpback whales, who feed in the nutrient rich waters of Southeast Alaska, orca whales also can be seen traveling the coastal waters.

This is a small group whale watching experience for up to 6 guests.

After pickup at your cruise ship or hotel, we will drive 15 minutes north of downtown Juneau to our small harbor in Auke Bay.

Spend the next several hours exploring the waterways of the Gastineau Channel in search of humpback and orca whales.
