クジラとランチ! ケチカンのプレミア海洋哺乳類観察ツアー

Great staff/guides, plenty of space to move and get pics, and a yummy lunch! Amazing views and a fun ride... not too many whales but it's always luck of the draw!

Courtesy owner and staff, decent sandwiches and we found whales for a good portion of the time we were out.

30 minutes into the tour BOOM! Whale flukes! Captain Judah is so informative and incredibly friendly. If you want a relaxed, peaceful, and personal experience for whale watching, this tour is for you. You get yummy lunch, there are high quality binoculars to borrow, and the cabin is heated! This boat is a good size and doesn't rock that badly, which is great for folks who usually get sea sick. Plus they have a very clean bathroom! There are so many amazing marine mammals they will educate about and you'll see on the tour. Sea lion rookeries to harbor seals haul outs, eagles and kingfishers to swimming black bears and black tailed deer. Such an incredible tour experience!

Knowledgeable local ship captain/tour leader. Very considerate and works hard to give customers a great experience.

Excellent communication re meet up time and place. Captain Judah was very knowledgeable and knew where to locate whales and seals. He also gave us an entertaining running commentary on his life and the habits of whales. Would highly recommend

I cannot recommend Judah and his whale watching excursion enough. We had an incredible time. We saw whales within the first 20 mins and continued to see them the entire time. Judah was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the animals that inhabited it. The top deck of the boat had unobstructed views and plenty of space to stand or sit. The main floor of the boat had comfy inside seating to keep you away from the wind and weather as well as places to stand outside on the front or back of the boat. Our family of 8 had a fantastic time.

I really loved this tour! They put an emphasis on raising up and supporting other local businesses! The lunch was by a cafe in town and it was so good! The captain went out of his way to make sure our group saw whales!! The boat itself was really comfortable and there wasn’t a seat with a bad view!

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!
