5.00Captain Lindstrom was incredibly knowledgeable and gifted in showing us all of the sites along the way to include patiently, waiting for whale sightings, finding us little coves with spectacular views and giving us the history of the glacier. His team on board was exceptionally generous with their time and talents, the food was excellent and surprisingly abundant! I can't recommend this group in the store more.
Bubble feeding Humpbacks!

5.00The tour was great; higly recommend. The Captain was very knowledgeable and extremely entertaining. He found a pod of Orcas, bald eagles, sea otters and sea lions. We were lucky and even git to see one humpback whale. Sadly he had no control over the weather. Rough seas but they did their best. My wife and I even considered going again.
Best experience in my two weeks in Alaska!

5.00More than worth the money! Great crew, wonderful captain, unbelievable views. The captain knows so much about the geology and history of the glaciers and the animals and Alaska. Wonderful and informative. Make sure you bring a variety of layered clothing. At one point, I was in a T-shirt and at another point, I had a wool hat and jacket on.
