Although the weather could be iffy--we had a beautiful day. Carry clothing to be insured you are covered (so to speak) for rain or cool. It is chilly on the boat when you choose to ride outside. We saw whales coming and going and watched bears at every location we stopped. A mama and cubs--an old guy catching fish, a young buck headed up river. It was all glorious.

Wildlife of all kinds. Sea Lions and humpback and bears— oh my! Bear viewing at Toba inlet could not have been much better. 5 bears in 5 stands both young and old.
