Very easy to rate this experience with 5 stars! On the transportation to and from the boat, we were entertained by John sharing several of his Alaskan experience stories. Four of us went out with only 1 other couple on board.The cabin was heated and equipped with hydraulic seating. John was our captain and was very experienced and knowledgeable. He was quite skilled at getting us through the "sporty" conditions and anxious to find the wildlife we were there to see. Andrea, our cheerful naturalist, was very informative and it was easy to see how much she loves her job. We saw humpbacks, orcas and sea lions. Very happy that we booked with Harv and Marv's and the excellent small group experience that they provide!
