4.00When Viator emails the tickets for an tour in Hookah,AK, they are emailed to a phone which has NO INTERNET IN HOOKAH. This was a very bad situation. The tour operators in Hookah, AK all know this. Apparently, Viator does not, since it happens so frequently that the tour operators on site told us this was a common occurrence as we frantically tried to find the unnamed operator for our tour.
They know where the whales are

5.00The captain did a nice job locating the Wales for us. He communicated with other vessels in the area to find the best spot. We got to see several humpback whales. The tour was on time and well done. A bit pricey, but worth it.
They don’t lie - you WILL see whales!

5.00What a fabulous excursion! Our captain Jonah (nope not kidding) and his naturalist exuded enthusiasm, which was contagious. Their pursuit of the perfect whale experience gave them as much joy as it gave us! They even let the tour run late in order to maximize the experience, and then brought some folks directly to their ship when it looked like they were cutting it close on the embarkation time. What a great time!
FABULOUS watch the whales
