I took my parents on this tour and we had a great experience. We were on a new boat (the Beacon) that had upper and lower decks for viewing. The naturalist onboard was Nick and he was very informative. He answered questions and even gave me photography tips when he noticed my camera which was helpful. We saw several humpback whales, sea lions and were treated to an incredible sunset. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was that the 'glacier view point' was just a quick 5 minute stop off of the bus to view it from a distance. I had expected to be able to see it from a little closer but be aware that as the description states, it is just a viewpoint. Overall, still a great experience and I would recommend it to others.

Highly highly highly recommend this whale watching tour above all other ones in the area. These guys (especially Cory) were awesome and so passionate about the whales! The boat was very comfortable especially if you are seasick prone and had nice restrooms onboard. Thes best part of the whole service besides seeing the whales was the guys take professional pictures and you get a QR code at the end of the tour to download all the pictures at the end so you can just live in the moment with the whales and not have to worry about capturing it!

Great experience. Salar was our captain. He was kind, funny, respectful and knew what he was doing. We got to see several Orcas, a bunch of sea lions and several humpbacks. Also got to view two glaciers. It was an amazing day. Will be telling all my friends about this company.

This excursion was good! The guides were really nice and knowledgeable about what to look for. The weather was overcast but felt good; furthermore, we managed to see some good whale sightings, bald eagles and sea lions.
