You won’t regret taking this tour. Gavin was an exceptional tour guide, with tons of Alaskan history and wildlife knowledge, mixed with fun humor. We say seals, eagles and a whale! The boat captain was professional and an excellent driver. Highly recommend!
Fantastic boat excursion and delicious lunch.

We really enjoyed our experience! AJ was our guide and he was a great storyteller and really knew his stuff. We saw sea lions and eagles. The boat was comfortable. I wish we would’ve seen a bear, but no such luck.

What a wonderful tour with Kirk, AJ and Wolf. I am a tour guide myself and always appreciate it when I get to go on a completely different tour than mine and learn new things and get to see new things. The boat was comfortable and you are inside out of the elements. Extremely professional company and AJ is a fantastic story teller.
Beautiful place - do it!

Cynthia & Captain K were outstanding! Great overall experience and would recommend it! Hit all the boxes - eagle, whale & seal sightings along with a super fresh season feast! The rain forest trail was short but beautiful. There are 2 really steep dock ramps and notice some having issues with that but they made it!

The tour guide was awesome. The 'Tales and Lore' part of the company name is very true. The guide had some pretty incredible stories from his 45+ years living in Alaska. Also, this tour was the only one I was able to get awesp,e photos during our 7 day cruise.
Great Tales!
