2 Hour Guided Boat Tour in Gig Harbor and Narrows Bridges
Description
This is our most popular tour that brings in all the best sights and sensations of life on Puget Sound. This is an interactive tour! Our guides and crew have the top experience and perspective in the area and we love to share it! We take-in the beauty of our quaint "Maritime City" then go boldly out onto the open waters of the Tacoma Narrows to gather views from under our two major suspension bridges. We see wildlife like Bald Eagles, Great Blue Heron, seals and cute little seabirds. Our ex-US Navy boat has a smooth comfortable ride. Safety is our first priority. Our boats and captains are certified and licensed by the US Coast Guard. This is a fun, quality trip to remember! (Senior Age is 62.)

Itinerary
Marvel like millions have a the quaint design, character and heritage of our historic homeport village.
We challenge the racing tidal currents to view the iconic structures where the first bridge of three collapsed in a wind storm only 4 months after it opened!
Observe the stunning, pristine beauty of beaches where the trees in the park's old-growth forest have never been cut down all the way back to native times. Our park is the 4th. largest municipal park in the United States.
Cruise along the historic Salmon Beach community on stilts we call pilings. We see how residents have to climb stairs up a cliff to go about their daily activities. See a mermaid sculpture, a totem pole and 80 some eclectic home-built homes.

The captain was knowledgeable about the area and shared a lot of history which was nice. When we got close to eagles we slowed down so people could see and enjoy watching them. It was really nice, I’ll take out of town guests on this again.
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Gig Harbor and the surrounding areas. Our guide was the best!
Fantastic boat tour with amazing captain and first mate! It was informative and fun! We learned so much about the harbor and the bridge is, and we even saw lots of wildlife!
Excellent harbor tour with captain Ethan. His knowledge of the local history mixed with local folklore was so interesting. We saw many harbor seals and bald eagles. I highly recommend this 2 hour excursion
Thank you for your review!
Great captain. Very informative and beautiful views and wildlife to see.
Thank you for the review Chuck!
Captain Ethan was thoughtful, professional, and Eagle-eyed. In addition to his informative group narrations, he went to each of us individually to ensure that we were doing well and answer all our questions. He was aware of group dynamics and proactively made sure people gave each other enough space and children were able to see.
Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review!
This was our secont harbor tour and the first for our kids. We all had a great time, the weather was perfect and our tour guide provided interesting information during our trip.
Terry, We all love that interesting information! Thank you!
This is a wonderful informative boat ride. Pit guide was very knowledgeable about the area, the people and the structures around the water. I would highly suggest it.
Thank your review Meloni!
We wanted a nice, easy going experience for an elderly visiting friend. We got more than we bargained for due to really interesting wildlife viewing. Orcas transiting the Narrows and nervous seals hiding out near shore to keep out of harms way were unexpected treasured moments. Our guide, Ethan and his second mate were fun and professional. We'll do this tour again when we have visiting friends.
Wow, that sounds great! Glad you had a special time with your friend! We will see you again!
Wonderful trip! Thank you! Perfect Weather!
Yipee! All the right stuff!
