WOW! What a great tour. Saw a great number of marine mammals including orcas, fin whale, humpback whales - they were bubble net feeding - AMAZING! The ship's captain dropped a microphone in the water and we heard the humpbacks communicating with one another. Also saw a glacier cleave. if given the opportunity, I would go on this tour everyday.

Our captain was very knowledgeable and explained everything we were seeing. She gave everyone the best chance to see the scenery and all the animals. At the end of the day we were lucky enough to get to see orcas and she truly went above and beyond to allow everyone to enjoy watching them. The entire trip was amazing and worth every penny spent for sure.

This tour exceeded our expectations for sure. We were able to see sea lions, otters and orcas. Our captain did a great job pointing out all the landmarks and the sea life. The glacier was amazing and we even got to hold some ice from the glacier itself! Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!
