Awesome. Just awesome. The excursion is located 8 miles outside of town, in a remote cove. You get to drive and share driving a Zodiac boat, up to four people per boat. We saw eagles (eagle island), starfish and sea lions. Learned A LOT from tour guide, Sara, who is super familiar with all the locales tk see wildlife, the names of the different location and history. Driving full speed on the water was exhilarating!!! The company provided any / all equipment needed to make sure you were safe (life jackets) and dry (rubber boots and optional skiff suit). We had glorious weather, so the skiff suit was not necessary. Way too much fun!
Was too distracting to drive and watch scenery. Guide Sara was great. Very patient.
Excursion very fun and guide was very interesting.
It took awhile to get from the cruise ship to the location and get equipped before we actually got on the boats. We had 4 in each boat. Our family had two boats. There were 12 all together in our group. We saw a whale up close and two eagles swoop down to catch fish. It was exciting driving a boat on the open ocean.
Had a great time the weather was great so it made for a nice ride. We saw eagles and seals. The guide was knowledgeable and gave great instructions
Rose was an amazing guide, and we had the best time. This excursion was the highlight of our trip! Thank you for the great picture, Rose!
The zodiac tour was fantastic! Had a great time with my wife and got to drive our own boat. Our tour guide Sara was knowledgeable (a local), accommodating and extremely personable. We would highly recommend this tour and Sara for anyone interested in this type of adventure.
Fast adventure fun in the open sea as always with trips like these its pot luck on what you see we saw porpose and seals
Rose was an excellent guide on our private Alaska Boatman Adventure. She’s super nice, friendly, and very knowledgeable. It was just my girlfriend and me with her, so it felt like a perfect personal tour. The tour is best for family or couples. We get to take turns to drive the boat. The whole trip is around 3 hours including 30 drive form the port. We saw whales and seals, enjoyed stunning scenery, and I loved driving the boat myself — it was easy to operate and so much fun! Rose made everything safe and enjoyable. This was one of the best experiences in Alaska. Book with Rose — you won’t regret it!
Nice experience with gids Sara.
