This was the best tour of anything we did on our cruise. We had the most MAGNIFICENT day of weather & fun. Standing on the deck at the back of the boat and seeing the whale come alongside of you is AMAZING. If you like water and adventure you will LOVE this. Our guides were funny. One of them was... More

We did a tour with Orca enterprises back in 2009. We were on a cruise that stopped in Juneau for just a day. We had set up a helicopter tour with a glacier trek previously and were unable to do any whale watching tours with this according to our cruise. When we got into Juneau Orca Enterprises worked out a... More

Purchasing an event that is not part of the cruise offered excursions can be stressful. Orca's establishment is right on the dock where ships dock, so the walk is about five to ten minutes. Our ship's arrival coincided with the time to meet at the Orca office, yet they waited for several of us. These whale excursion companies all go... More

Our family of 18, ranging in age from 7 to 77, hired a private boat with Orca Enterprises to go whale watching. It was cheaper than booking an excursion with the cruise line. We were promised humpbacks, and did see some. Then the Captain got a call on the phone and immediately headed out to an area where we were... More

We arrived in Juneau and made our way to the Orca Ent. offices, right near the ship dock. They were very efficient and in no time we were on our way to the dock. Immediately...wildlife!! It was low tide and all sorts of critters were on the beach, especially bald eagles!! As we made our way out of the harbor... More

We took the humpback whales excursion during our cruise through Juneau. Juneau, by the way, is a gorgeous town, and we really enjoyed the scenery and the friendly people. A bus picked us up from the Orca Enterprises headquarters and took us to the excursion boat. Some 45 minutes and miles off the coast, the memorable captain Larry took us... More

After many disappointing trips to Hawaii in an effort to see humpbacks in their summer home, I was determined to see some whales in Alaska. A review of tours offered through the cruise lines and independent operators drew me to Orca Enterprises. I was not disappointed. September 6, 2011 was not your ideal day for water activities. It was cold,... More

While on a Princess cruise in Alaska, we decided to forgo a cruise sponsored excursion in Juneau and book on our own with ORCA tours to go Whale Watching, and boy are we glad we did! Not only did we pay half what the cruise was charging, but we really got a once in a lifetime experience that we didn’t... More

After reading so many positive reviews we chose Orca for our whale watching tour in July 2011 but I'd rather cancel that experience from my memory. First we got wrong instructions as to where we should check in. We waited at their office but nobody ever showed up at the time specified. This was probably because no cruise ships were... More
