Incredible experience. We lucked out with weather for sure. Within 20 minutes of departure, we were on several groups of Orca and got a lot of great videos and pictures. We saw mountain goat, sea lions, otters, porpoises and several bald eagles. Add to the the scenery and the up close look at the glaciers with an incredible staff and you can’t not have an incredible experience. Highly recommended.

Captain and Crew were all extremely friendly and helpful, providing information and details during our voyage. Lunch was more than adequate and better than expected. There was plenty of room on the boat both on deck and inside. Great experience and would do again!

Absolutely the best tour I have ever been on. The vessel was new and beautiful. It was made for viewing wildlife. The Capt narrated the entire 6 hours giving good information relative to the species we were viewing and the area we were in. Will do it again.

This cruise was absolutely amazing. The scenery and wildlife are out of this world, and the boat/crew were fantastic. I would highly recommend this excursion!!
