Ballenas y almuerzo! Tour de observación de mamíferos marinos de Ketchikan

Easily 6 stars. We had a great time. Sailing out of Ketchikan around 10am and it was only a few minutes before we were watching whales. We had one 40-fooy fella put on a show for us and Johah knew just where to find him. We didn't get to meet Chevy but met Jonah's mom who was serving as 1st Mate and Chief Galley Cook - fun, fun people. Saw more eagles and seals than you can count. It didn't hurt that Ketchikan had some of the best summer weather imaginable (according to locals.) The Island Cat is solid as a rock and looks brand new - Jonah is a good captain. Moving about the ship was very easy, the ship spacious, and the views from the bow, stern, and upper deck were perfect. The drone Jonah flew from the ship was just the cherry on top. I highly recommend this excursion, its people, the ship, and the total experience. Well done, Captain Jonah and crew (i.e., Mom). And lunch was excellent - thanks Chief Galley Cook.

We were very fortunate to have a bubble feed encounter with a humpback whale. Captain got us in the right place at the right time😏. The boat itself is stellar. Comfortable leather seats. Although a warm sunny day for us, other reviews point out a warm dry space for more typical days. We saw seals and various fowl, and of course the beautiful scenery itself needs to extras.

Absolutely the best whale watching experience! We spent hours with a humpback whale! The boat is top notch and includes a delicious wrap, chips and cookie for lunch! We definitely recommend this tour. We plan on coming back and booking with Judah again!

very knowledgable staff and plenty of whales, one even came up under the boat the Glacier and falls were magnificent

This was awesome. Only 21 people can fit so it is easy to get around the boat and find good viewing spots. Would highly recommend! Judah was an awesome captain and very informative. Chelsea was very helpful and informative, too. This is a must!!!! Whales were guaranteed and we saw whales! We also saw seals. Fabulous indoor and outdoor space!

Great, small group whale watching trip. Over 3 quality hours on the water! Judah was a great captain. Found cool whales with 5 minutes. He has great knowledge about the Ketchikan area , wildlife and sea life. Small, local, family run business. Definitely recommend this tour!

we just had the most amazing day with this husband and wife team! if you're in Ketchikan and want to whale watch in comfort on a top boat with a great team, this is the only tour to book. Saw a mother and calf and loads of humpback whales, sea lions and bald eagles.

We’ve been on several whale watching tours during our trip around Alaska, and without a doubt, this was the best experience of them all. From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear this wasn’t your average excursion. The boat is luxurious, spacious, and comfortable, with the freedom to move around whenever you like. They even provide binoculars, so everyone gets a fantastic view. One of the biggest advantages is that this boat can travel much farther out than the larger excursion boats operating from Ketchikan. That made all the difference—we saw more whales on this three-hour tour than on every other whale watching trip we’ve done in Alaska combined. Lunch was excellent, but what really made the experience unforgettable were our hosts, Judah and Chevy. They were knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about giving everyone the best possible experience. Judah took things to another level with his incredible tech skills. After spotting a Mother & Calf, he launched a drone and was able to follow them from above, capturing breathtaking footage that he later shared with us. Seeing these magnificent animals from both the boat and the air was something we’ll never forget. This tour is quite simply the holy grail of whale watching experiences. Every detail has been thought through, and the level of service, comfort, and wildlife encounters is second to none. If you’re visiting Ketchikan and you’re thinking about booking a whale watching tour, don’t waste your time looking elsewhere. Book this one. Trust me, you’ll only regret not booking it. We will be shouting about this to anyone that wants to listen. Thank you Graham & Philip Cornwall, UK

Great tour that gets you closer, faster to whale and other marine life activity for viewing. The 21 passenger maximum is a great limited size (Our tour had 12 people plus the captain and first mate). The boat has a front deck, back deck and second level deck for great options to see the wildlife. Also, the heated cabin has captains chairs for everyone with ample supplied binoculars. The Captain found the whales (and other marine life) and kept us at a respectful distance while giving us great viewing opportunities. All in all a tour can't get much better!

We loved this tour! Judah and his crew were great, lunch was delicious, we learned a lot and it was beautiful. Thanks for a fantastic experience!
