    Why Choose Whales and Lunch

    Intimate, Authentic Local Experience — Enjoy small-group tours led by genuine Ketchikan locals for personalized, heartfelt Alaskan hospitality and insider knowledge you won't find on larger, corporate-operated excursions.

  • Our vessel Island Cat I guess in the beautiful Ketchikan Alaska on its search for whales

    Guaranteed On-Time Return for Cruise Ships

    We prioritize your schedule with reliable, stress-free timing—always back to the dock well before your ship's departure, so you never miss your sailing.

  • A whale (orca) breaching the water surface, creating a splash and spray with a large tail visible above the water.

    Marine Mammal Sighting Guarantee

    If we don't spot any marine mammals (humpback whales, orcas, seals, sea lions, etc.), every paying guest receives $100 cash at the end of the tour.

  • Our large aluminum catamaran on its search for whales and marine mammals on the inside passage of South East Alaska.

    Fastest Boat + Longer 3-3.5-Hour Tour

    Our high-speed vessel combined with the extended 3-3.5-hour duration lets you cover more ground, reach prime remote hotspots, and enjoy significantly more wildlife sightings than shorter, slower tours. We will always aim to have the full 3.5 hour tour but will ensure everyone has enough time to get to cruise ship before the all aboard time.

  • Interior of our vessel the Island cat with sythentic leather seats arranged in pairs with armrests, large windows on both sides, and an open door at the front.

    Comfortable Indoor Seating & Amenities

    Stay warm and dry with heated indoor seating offering panoramic views through large windows, plus a convenient onboard restroom for all-day ease and relaxation.

  • Two men sitting on a boat, enjoying the view of the water and mountains in the distance, with one holding a bottle of water and the other eating, under a partly cloudy sky.

    Stable Catamaran Design

    Our smooth-riding catamaran minimizes motion for a more comfortable ride, so you can relax and focus on the wildlife without worrying as much about seasickness—even in variable Southeast Alaska conditions.
