4.00Nice experience, ride that starts at and returns at 14 precisely. Unfortunately we had no luck with animal sightings, but the landscapes and especially the approach to the glacier was fantastic.

5.00Excellent cruise. Great crew. Saw some astonishing sights. We went the last week of August - should have done it earlier in the month as we learned that most of the whale species had begun migrating south about a week before.

3.00It lasted less than 6 hours, we saw only one glacier while from the route on the map it seemed two. We haven’t seen the fauna, just a few puffins and sea lions in the distance! He didn't travel near the coast but quite far away. At least they could give water in addition to food!
