1.00There is a very good chance you won't see bears and whales such as our trip. There's no way to know.
Not worth it!

1.002 of our petty were 3 minutes late as we could not locate the meeting point. Our friends asked Lauren to wait but she refused and left without us! Luckily one of our friends saw us looking for them and got her to stop! The trip was very disappointing as we saw 1 eagle in the distance! Waste of time and money!
Lauren is Great!

5.00Intetesting, saw bears, birds, eagles and the park. Like it. But was thinking we could see more. The name of the excursion indicated more.
Disappointing bear viewing!

2.00We went bear watching whilst on a cruise I. Ketchikan. We were on the shore of a lake. In front of us was a viewing platform some distance away. We went back a couple of times as no bears were in the vicinity . On the last trip back someone who wasn’t with our group said “there’s a bear!” All I could see was a black shape. Had we have been on the viewing platform, we would have had a much better view, as it was much closer to the bear. This was a very disappointing experience as we couldn’t see anything distinguishable!!! Very very disappointing as this was on my bucket list! I wouldn’t recommend this trip.
