Travelled with family. Capitan Nicole was knowledgeable and fun, she found us many wildlife to see: bold eagle, otters, seals, puffins, beautiful glaciers..... and most luckily we saw a few Fin Whales and Humpback Whales. The weather was nice enough on the way out. Crew members are nice. Highly recommended!
Captain was exceptionally good and so was the cabin crew— we loved the experience!
Saw lots of wildlife - sea lions, birds, whales and otters! Great service from all staff. Overall very nice tour.
Totally recommend! We saw humpback and Fin whales, porpoises, seals, sea lions, otters and puffins plus a calving glacier! It was incredible! Captain Justin an Karl are so knowledgeable and personable. We can’t say enough good things about our experience today!!
Great trip, crew/staff were professional and friendly, we saw lots of marine life. Would do it again for sure.
The boat was spotless. The lunch was very good. The crew was courteous and very professional. The wildlife narrative was informative and the trip extended a bit to see some whales. An excellent experience.
The captain and crew were fantastic. Mission focused on making the excursion memorable. Order a dietary special, maybe a turkey wrap, the chicken bean concoction served was just nasty. We weren't there for the food, however lunch was the only downside. Great adventure to see Alaska scenery, Glaciers, whales, birds, waterfowl, and sea lions. Informative narration. Dress warm, glaciers are Always cold.
This boat tour lived up to the hype. We saw so much sea life including puffins, jellyfish, humpback whales and seals. The up close view of Aialik Glacier was so worth it. Highly recommend.
My friend and I had a fabulous time on this 7.5 tour. The crowded size was about right for this size of the boat. The crew was awesome and worked so hard especially to about 40 people with upset stomach due to a bit rough ride. I would recommend this business to anyone who are interested, Many thanks to them!
Great experience! We saw fin whales, otters, puffins, sea lions & seals. Captain took us right up to a beautiful glacier. Ship was clean and crew were great.
