Captain Ray was our pilot, Ian the guide, we had the Chilikat “up to 14 passengers” size boat. We’re happy with this choice. Perfect size boat, everyone could see all around. The bathroom was clean and bigger than most airplane bathrooms. Not much in the way of snacks, but we brought water and our munchies, so all was good.
Ray was constantly looking for viewing opportunities, and when he saw something he got us there quickly and safely. We saw two orca pods with lots of activity and extended time, and a mama + baby humpback. Ian was new to this role and still learning his trade, but Ray made sure everything was explained. I’d go back out with them in a heartbeat.
