As I said yesterday, Juneau was probably one of the most amazing days of our entire vacation. The second part of our excursion with Gastineau Guiding, was whale watching. We saw that most of the excursions guaranteed you would see a whale on your tour, or they would give you $100, which I thought was nice.

What I didn’t realize was that this meant we would see a LOT of whales.

It was, quite honestly, astonishing.

Before we even got on the boat we were seeing bald eagles.

I have to admit that bald eagles aren’t my favorite bird, but seeing them up close was impressive.

We saw Harbor Seals sunning themselves on rocks:

And we saw whales.

This baby whale kept launching himself into the air, again and again. It was so CUTE! (Yes, that’s right. Cute.)

We also saw bubble net feeding, which was extraordinary.

And of course, we saw them diving.
