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.

We had beautiful weather, and saw so much wildlife: porpoises, eagles, guillemots, a stellar sea lion and harbor seals. Our guide was informative and did a great job of sharing history about the bridge, Vashon and Point Defiance.
Our tour Captain was amazing!. Great narration, not too chatty, informative and very hospitable. He went above and beyond. Would definitely do this tour again the next time we’re in Washington.
Thank you for your review Simone.
Wonderful boat and crew. Captain Ethan was great! Very enjoyable and educational ride!
All good stuff! Thank you!
Great experience! Very knowledgeable guide and of great historical value.
Thank you!
My family and I had a great time on this tour of Gig Harbor and the Narrows bridge. The boat was on the smaller side, so it was a more personal experience. The captain/guide was very knowledgeable about the area and also spotted wildlife. He walked around to each group and asked how we were doing and if we had questions. Would do this tour again, especially with out of town guests.
Excellent. Thank you!
It was very interesting. Captain Ethan was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable. He was very friendly and took the time to make sure we were all comfortable during the tour. Would definitely recommend the tour because of Captain Ethan.
Yes, indeed.
Well worth it. Ethan was a great story-teller, narrator and boat captain. It was relaxing and informative. We learned about Galloping Gertie as well as the helpful octopus, saw 100 harbor seals and soaked in the sounds and sights of the sound.
Outstanding Kay! Thank you for your review!

Warren, Thank you for your review! We the love the harbor seals and bald eagles!
This was the second time that we have taken this tour and it was just wonderful! We live in gig harbor but love to take our out of town visitors on this trip. Our guide was awesome telling great stories about the puget sound, the bridge and beaches. You always see some wildlife and it’s just the perfect amount of time to be on the water. They are professional and safety conscious also. I highly recommend!
Thank you for coming again and giving your detailed review!
We spent a wonderful 2 hours learning a great deal about Gig Harbor, Galloping Gertie, and all of the wildlife…eagles, harbor seals, etc. Great stories! We will be back and will recommend the tour to others!
