It was unbelievable! We saw humpback whales, seals, sea lions, puffins, eagles, porpoises, and the natural beauty of the fjords! Absolutely breath taking! The crew was so nice and very knowledgeable!
Very well run. Organized. Staff very hardworking. Able to see quite a lot of wildlife plus the glaciers. Recommend this.
What an incredible tour!! Saw Humpback whales bubble nesting, a Minkey whale, seal lions, otters, bald eagles, puffins and so much more!! Captain Chris Danzl and his crew were incredibly informative! A day very well spent!!
Beautiful views, even some covered by clouds. Rained all day, but still great experience. We were lucky to see Orcas, humpback whales and killer whales. Lots different birds. Glacier was beautiful. Water was rough, got sick, but still enjoyed. Captain and crew members are awesome
It was not as rough as expected and apparently the day before. Got to see whales glaciers and other animals. Good tour and good guides. Food wasn’t bad.either. 6 hour tour was enough. Highly recommend
Amazing tour. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Staff was amazing, friendly and very helpful. Captain was very knowledgeable and we saw more than we thought we would see.
The boat was very nice (and new), the crew were super friendly. The captain had extensive knowledge of the area and wildlife and knew exactly where to take us to see all the wildlife and beautiful views. I couldn't imagine it having been better.
Fantastic day with Justin and Carl. Saw everywhere were hoping to see and more!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the boat. We were able to see a variety of marine life, including doll porpoises, humpback whales, sea otters, seals, and sea lions. The crew was incredibly hospitable, helpful, and kind. They even prepared a delicious vegetarian meal, including an amazing veggie burger and hummus. Overall, it was a truly wonderful experience.
The booking information needs to be more clear. My party and I were never told that we needed to arrive to the boat at 10:30 because our departure was at 11:30. We arrived at 11:15 and we were told by the front desk staff to "Run," because we were late. Meanwhile one member of our party is disabled and cannot run. I told one of the front desk staff this information and they said that was not on our booking information, and then they told my disabled friend to "Run." The front desk staff were so inconsiderate and rude to my party and my disabled friend. The person who scanned our tickets was also incredibly rude to us. I wish from the booking site it told us more information about the choppiness of the water because there was a 45 minute segment of water that would cause the a lot of people to become violently ill due to sea sickness. We were on the second deck and nearly every single passenger was throwing up. Gavin was an absolute angel sent from heaven above and was incredibly helpful. He was the kindest employee on the tour. If you are sea sick, get a Scoplamine patch and Dramamine.
