Our captain, Brad, did a great job getting us around the waters to see all the wildlife and memorable views. Departure time and arrival time were prompt and we had plenty of time to get back to our ship. Great experience as I would highly recommend this excursion.

This was an outstanding excursion. The captain was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife and was very friendly. We saw whales, a bear, bald eagles, seal and sea otters. Please remember wildlife can’t be probity he was able to deliver!

We booked this small vessel tour (max 6 people) with hopes of seeing a a wide variety of wildlife, and we were not disappointed! Up close, we saw brown bears, whales (they stink horribly, btw), sea lions, see otters, and seals. Along with good stories about the wildlife and local legends / human history, all in great fun. And then Brad dropped us off right at the gangway to catch our cruise on out. I am currently writing this will poor internet connection, but I promise, the photos are great and this tour is worth it. Thanks!
