Great Excursion Land & Sea - This excursion was on the boat first …Eagle One where we saw whales, seals, salmon jumping, eagles and beautiful landscape! Great Captain Jessie and First mate Jessie! Very knowledge and we had amazing sunny warm weather … We then boarded a van to tour the land and Sam was our tour guide. Saw whales from land, a waterfall, salmon swimming upstream and stopped at Saxman Totem Pole Park. Sam was very knowledgeable with lots of Ketchikan history! Highly recommend tour!

Great day in Ketchikan - Captain Jesse, his daughter Morgan, and first mate Jessie could not have provided a better experience! It helped that the seas were calm that day, June 19th, and the orcas cooperated. Jesse said that he had never seen so many orcas feeding together! We followed them for at least an hour and were able to get multiple videos. The boat was well stocked with drinks and snacks and all the staff were pleasant and knowledgeable and accommodating. We even thought we saw a bear on a nearby beach, but it turned out to be a big black dog, but it provided us with a good laugh. I couldn't recommend this excursion any more highly. Just do it!

Great company and tour! - We had an amazing time! The ship crew was so warm and friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to make sure that we had could see humpback whales which we did! I would highly recommend this tour company.

Eagle One will not disappoint - Capt Jesse and Evan were wonderful tour guides. They got us as close as possible to whales without disturbing them which I respect! We saw two beautiful eagles perched on eagle rock. The land portion was very interesting. Saw a bear in a stream catch a salmon. The salmon ladder very interesting as well. A great tour overall. They were easy to book, communicated well, and on time.

August tour - Very nice and professional team. We went out twice to hopefully catch the humpback, but the orcas were out instead. The seal rock was definitely the highlight. Will be booking again next visit.

Loved the boat trip.... - Loved the boat trip. People on it were great. Even though we saw no whales, the sea lions and eagles especially were incredible. Bust tour left a lot to be desired.

Go on the boat skip the van - The boat ride was enjoyable and we did see a humpback whale! However the van ride to see the bears at the salmon hatchery was not as enjoyable as there were no bears. Picture used to advertise this trip was very deceiving.

A Very disappointing experience. - The staff were friendly and helpful showing us where drinks were in the boat.
But this tour was a lot of money! ($962) for a family with nothing to it. We saw 2 eagles, but no bears, no whales, no other wildlife! If you are going to charge this much money for an adventure to just look for wildlife that may or may not be there then you really need to add some other substance to the tour to make it not such a let down. The land tour guide did give us some information, but there was no commentary on board the boat in regards to the area about wildlife or landmarks or other interesting information. There was no Dungeness crab pot pulling as per description, and we did not see the salmon ladder. Our other Alaskan tours in cities included a lot more content. Very disappointing to have wasted all this money.
