Description

Fresh walrus ivory carving by Anders Apassingok Junior (Saint Lawrence Island Yupik). Hand carved from locally, subsistance harvested walrus. Anders learned to carve from the elders who in turn learned from generations of elders passing the art down. Each piece is carved from a tusk that is cured for several weeks and is unique in color and pattern. Fresh ivory is legal for use by all Alaska Native artisans.

Juneau Public Whale Watch

Juneau, Alaska is home to some of the world's most fantastic viewing of humpback whales! Welcome aboard our new customized luxurious whale watching catamaran. As our industry grows, it is no longer sustainable to build additional smaller passenger vessels for whale watching. We have taken the extended 3 hour whale watching tour that everyone has grown to love and paired it with the most comfortable and spacious 49 passenger vessel in Alaska. It features ultra comfortable seating with USB charging, two full bathrooms, upper and lower viewing decks, quiet proposition, heated cabins, and an incredibly smooth ride! FAQs: **Q. What if I have another tour scheduled before or after your tour? **A. If you have another tour scheduled that ends within an hour before your pick up time or beginning within an hour after of your scheduled drop off time of our tour, you will need to let us know as soon as possible. **Q. What type of whales are near Juneau, Alaska? **A. Humpback and Orca Whales. We have seen Humpback Whales on 100% of our trips since 2004. We see Orca Whales about 20% of the time. **Q. What is the best time of the year to see whales around Juneau? **A. The best months are May through September for Humpback Whales. **Q. Do you have a whale sighting guarantee? **A. No/Yes.

If you do not see a whale on your tour, you will receive a 50% refund. **Q. Can you see whales anytime of the day? **A. Yes. Humpback Whales surface + or - every 15 minutes to breathe. **Q.
