5.00Great crew. Loved the trip. Beautiful wild area. Humpbacks and eagles at close viewing. Boat was comfy and warm but with good top viewing deck. Wheelchair accessible but small feel tour.
Great Tour

5.00This tour was one of the best. The operators were great, very experienced and knowledgeable and knew the area well. They were able to take us to where the whales were within 20 minutes and I was able to capture a few good shots. They also took us to an island with dozens of bald eagles. What a treat!
Whales, seals, FABULOUS!!

5.00Best tour of my life!! The family that run this tour are fabulous!! I had a mobility scooter, they followed us to the boat, drove my scooter to the shop and we're so accommodating!! They worked hard to find a whale!! Showed us how to.spot them before they even surfaced! To be that close was an unbelievable feeling!! They provides us hot coffee and hot chocolate as well. They took us just off a small island to see seals! It was the trip of a lifetime! Ketchikan is the cutest little town with such kind people!! We will be back with my grandsons next time!!
go for it
