Whale watching in the Juneau, Alaska area is some of the best in the world. Starting with the return of the humpbacks from their migration to Hawaii in May and June, the whales numbers and activities build through the summer with mid-July to mid-September being the height of the whale watching season. This photo illustrates the month of August in my 2006 Juneau Alaska calendar and page 37 in my book, Alaskas Watchable Whales.
