Wow! - A fantastic trip. My second one in the last 9 years.
We were blessed to see many large pods of Oricas!
When the captain said she was going to go a little of path we had no idea what a treat it would be.
Well ( or should I say" whale")
worth the time and money!

5 Star Experience! - Far exceeded expectations! The crew worked so hard to give us the best experience and helped us to see a super pod of Orcas. Lunch was great too. Puffins, coastal mountain goats, sea lions, otters, etc. we were so pleased with our experience and would recommend it to anyone!

The scenery was breathtaking - It was an amazing experience. The scenery was breathtaking! The boat was clean. The staff was friendly and very attentive. We were lucky enough to see orca whales. We also saw sea lions and sea otters. Lunch was provided and they even baked fresh cookies at the end of the tour! I would definitely recommend this tour.

Alaska’s Beauty - We went towards the end of whale viewing season, and were one of the first boat to see whales that day because our Captain went a little out of his way to find them. Many other sites were admired along the way: beautiful coves, puffins, seals, otters, jellyfish and too many other species of birds to mention.

Would go with this tour company again. - Staff was wonderful. They knew the good spots-we saw bald eagles, harbor seals, a whale, stellar sea lions, puffins and beautiful scenery. The hot lunch and chocolate cookies was delicious.

Great trip! Lots of animals & great environment! - Awesome trip! We booked last minute and it was still stress free and very fun! Kid friendly i loved the staff I believe their names were will, bella, and a guy with a Boston accent! They were very kind and friendly I would definitely go again!
Also the whole thing was kid friendly! There were some passengers that weren’t the friendliest to the kids but there’s not much we could do about that!

It was good, not great. - The tour was fairly well organized, the line to board was very long and not enough signage to know where to go. Definitely take seasickness medicine before boarding. I had bit still became ill when the tour operator cut the engines and let the boat roll to watch for some marine creature. We saw a few whales, jellyfish and seals. Glad to have booked through this site as it saved money. Prices there to cook were significantly higher.

Average - Lunch was a dry burrito, stale chips. Drinks were $5 for a glass of soda. Commentary was ongoing. Staff a bit rude when serving drinks. Overall, just OK.
