If you are ever to visit Juneau Alaska, whale watching with "Weather Permitting Alaska" is a must. I have been on many whale watching excursions before, but I can honestly say that this one is the best hands down. Captain Greg, takes you out into an unbelievable environment with only your friends or family and an established marine biologist. His... More

August 2011- Our family of four, 8, 14, 45 and 47 booked with Weather Permitting before our Alaskan cruise. We took a taxi from the Mendenhall Glacier to meet Capt. Greg. Within minutes of leaving the dock we had Humpback whales in sight. The whales were within feet of the boat at times, we even got to see several "bubble-netting"... More

If you want to experience marine wildlife in Alaska, and see whale watching- from the safest boat in Juneau- this is the tour, this is the company. We took my 13 month old son- he slept safely and gently in his life vest in the cabin, while we saw the most incredible display of whales and later sea lions. The... More

Me and my fiancé booked this excursion through capt Greg and what an amazing experience. He was very prompt in response to my email when inquiring and the trip was unforgettable! He takes only a group of 6 and is just so knowledgeable that from the moment we met we had a blast! He also provided us with the most... More

My wife and I really enjoyed our afternoon on Capt. Greg's boat watching whales and other wildlife. We had no idea it would be so entertaining and educational. We saw a pod of 16 feeding for several hours, bald eagles, sea lions and more. Greg knows his whales.................... More

I traveled to AK mid-August with my husband and 10 year-old daughter. Instead of booking through what I felt were overly commercialized excursions promoted by cruise lines, I researched other whale watching options and found Capt. Greg through Trip Advisor. He was very prompt in responding to my emails and had a great sense of humor. We arrived in Juneau... More

Not only is Captain Greg an expert captain with vast knowledge about humpback whales, orcas, eagles and other wildlife, he’s got the best whale-watching boat in Alaskan waters (a dual-hulled, ultra-stable catamaran with the most advanced safety equipment available). The cabin, which is more than ample for the maximum 6 passengers per tour, has large viewing windows and a bathroom.... More

Weather Permitting (Captain Greg Brown) delivers with the best nature-watching boat for photographers, deep scientific knowledge of nature and great interest in the subject matter. I took this trip from Juneau solely for the purpose of having great access to photograph summertime whale feeding. As a former staff photographer at USA Today and an avid nature photographer I've been on... More

Thanks to Captain Greg and his wife Tina this is an excellent adventure with an at home feeling. When we saw the snacks Tina provided, we couldn’t believe our eyes. Everything we enjoy at home on a regular basis: Wheat Thins, Cheese, Nut mix, sodas even brownies(but hers tasted extra special somehow). Leave it to a cruiser to get side... More
