What Our Customers Say

Top Notch

Dolphin Jet Boat Tours was excellent! They provided great service, small group setting, and very knowledgeable staff who clearly enjoyed their job. We were referred by a former employee of the company and we would only book through Dolphin WHEN we make it to Juneau again.

Awesome Excursion

Awesome excursion to watch whales. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Short ride to find the whales. Once we arrived in the bay, we were able to observe whales surfacing!! Staff was able to tell us the different types for whales.

Very fun tour!

Dolphin jet boat tour was very enjoyable. The tour guide was friendly and full of fun facts. We enjoyed seeing several whales and one that kept breeching over and over again. Plan on rain, because it rains a lot, but it doesn’t spoil the adventure!
