Totally worth it! - A fun 2 hour tour with up close visits all through the sound! Got to see seals and ships loading and unloading! Bonus sighting of porpoises and lots of jumping salmon. Captain Ethan was full of tribal knowledge of the area and was very entertaining!

Great tour for everyone - We learned a lot from our very knowledgeable guides who were also very entertaining. We got to see a seal rookery and a bald eagle. I highly recommend this tour whether you are a local or visiting, as our group was a mixture of both and all of us loved the tour.

Don’t miss this experience! - Wonderful experience! The captain is knowledgeable about the history and surroundings of the areas we discovered. The boat was clean, safe, and comfortable! This is my 4th cruise with Destiny and I will continue to bring visiting friends and family on these fabulous cruises.

Wonderful Voyage! - Fantastic Experience on Puget Sound!
We had a wonderful couple of hours out on the water. The captain was knowledgeable and professional, and the boat was in great shape—comfortable and safe. We learned so much about Tacoma’s waterfront, the sound, and its history. The weather was perfect, and the overall experience was relaxing and memorable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Lots to see - great guide - Captain Eaton was a great narrator - historical perspective, knowledgeable, but not overly chatty. Had a good eye on surroundings to point out wildlife, sea planes, tugs, etc. I loved going by the cargo ships getting loaded. A fun trip!

Fun tour for locals and tourists alike. - This is the third time I’ve been on a boat tour with Captain Ethan in Gig Harbor and Tacoma taking friends along each time. He shares so much information and history about the area. The boat is comfy and roomy, and you can see everything so well. Captain Ethan is friendly and knowledgeable. This is a great easy adventure for out-of-town guests.

40th birthday celebration was a success! - This was a great tour! I learned so much about the Tacoma Waterfront. The guide was knowledgeable and funny. We not only got the history behind alot of the sites, but also got to see some native animals of the waterfront! The views are phenomenal. That boat is spacious. Great tour, great guide.

"That's a big crane. I wonder what it's for..." - If you're ever in Tacoma looking over the Puget sound and see all the ships/cranes/massive boats in the harbor and think "huh, I wonder what that's used for..." this is the tour for you. You'll get some basic Tacoma history as well as a rundown of what pretty much everything you see in the water is. Our guide was great (sorry, I forget his name, red hair/beard, good guy) and the weather was perfect. You'll see some seals and maybe some jumping salmon at the right time of year. Recommended!

Spectacular look at Gig Harbor via Boat - This was our first visit to Gig Harbor. Taking the boat tour seemed like a perfect way to view the shoreline from the water. The tour boat guide was knowledgable about the history and interesting facts viewed along the way. Got to see several bald eagles nestling in the trees as well as groups of harbor seals. Be sure to wear a hat and sunscreen. The boat only provides cover for very few persons.
