5.00Clear instructions and directions! Awesome meeting spot with bathrooms and gift shop. Crew was friendly and knowledge about wildlife and Alaskan facts and the boat including the bathroom was SPARKLING CLEAN. The captain had wonderful narration and guidance for when we spotted wildlife, and was super careful and respectful of the animals. We were able to see so many animals, it was absolutely spectacular. The whole experience was top notch, highly recommend! We did the 4 hr tour and it was a perfect length. Took Bonine beforehand and no one in our party got queasy. We brought our own snacks though there was some for purchase. They provided water, coffee and tea.
