You may or may not see a whale and that’s the chance you’ve got to take. BUT you will definitely see other sea life such as otters, seals, puffins, etc. We were lucky and saw a humpback whale. If I had one improvement to make, I’d suggest a rule at the beginning of the tour that where you are assigned seating is your “home base” for the duration of the tour. Some people moved around after we departed taking others’ spots while they were out watching wildlife. Seems silly to have to police adults about being respectful, but clearly there needs to be that rule. Otherwise a great crew focused on our safety and to finding wildlife.

The Captain was a fantastic guide and extremely knowledgeable. We were able to see beautiful sites and even though it was the second to last tour of the season we still saw some animals.

We went on a tour on Oct. 8 2024. The weather was crystal clear skys with no wind and small waves. We saw porpoises, orca, balled eagles, sea lions, seals, mountain goats, and glaciers. We even got to your Spire Cove. The ship was practically brand new and the crew was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and welcoming. It could not have been a better day. I highly recommend Major Marine Tours.
