Thank you Jack, I couldn't believe how many whales I saw but this is the closest I got to any as it was a dedicated whale watching excursion. I never ever thought I would get to Alaska and it didn't disappoint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were the only two we saw on this excursion but travelling up from Vancouver I lost count of how many there were. So many from a distance and also lots of spouts. I also saw several that morning travelling up the fjord to Icy Point along with Dolphins, Seals, Sea Otters and many birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Adam. Well think that you did. On the first full day of the cruise we were at sea and most of the whales were in the distance. After a sighting almost every wave looked like a darned whale! Strange the tricks the eyes play isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
