  Perfect overcast day and calm seas. God took care of that! Our captain Andy took care of the rest. We saw several orcas and a humpback 🐋 that put on a show for us for quite a while. Seals and eagles were a bonus.

• Completely awesome whale watching!!!

  Completely awesome adventure. We saw bear, lots of whales, sea lions, eagles and more. Captain Billy and Tracy and David are great. I would recommend to anybody. Make sure you find out in advance on how to get there. Viator doesn’t provide directions.

• Great small-boat experience

  Had a great time whale watching. We saw a bear on the shoreline and then saw a pod of 6 whales diving and surfacing. They got super close to the boat so lots of great pics and a fun experience. I also liked that the boat only had 6 guests on it so you could maneuver and see everything. There were other boats in the water with 50+ people that seemed much more crowded.

• Highly recommend Captain Billy

  I just cannot say enough wonderful things about this excursion with Captain Billy. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the entire area of water that surrounds Icy Strait. He takes extra time and care to make sure you get the most out of your trip. He painstakingly searched the shorelines, and we were so lucky to get close to shore and float and watch a mama brown bear and her cub he took us to sandbar where we were able to watch the huge population of sea otters frolicking in the water with their young floating on their bellies. And he took us to where we were able to be so close to a large group of sea lions you could almost touch them. But the whales oh my!! he took us into their feeding ground and we saw at least 12 to 15 massive humpback whale that came so close to the ship you could just lean over and see them coming up diving down flipping their tails up and at one point, we think one of them went under the boat. Captain Billy’s excursion was very personalized and his beautiful young daughter Taylor (who works with him in the summer) share so much information about the area and nature and the indigenous people that live there made this trip extra special. If you get a chance, I highly recommend you take this trip..

  Smaller boat, captian said he could take up to 6 people. Captain Billy was very good at getting to where the whales were. We saw eagles, otters, sea lions, orcas, and humpback whales. It was a beautiful area to visit and the tour was top notch. I would highly recommend it.
