We loved our time on the Callisto Voyager visiting multiple glaciers and seeing lots of wildlife (sea otters, stellar sea lions, harbor seals and even a humpback whale). Highly recommended.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you loved your time on the Callisto Voyager and enjoyed the beautiful glaciers and diverse wildlife. Spotting sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals, and even a humpback whale must have been incredible!

The best experience imaginable. The boat ride was very calm which gave us the opportunity to see the glacier (we were told if waves were too rough they couldn’t go this far). Was given a chicken burrito with chips and salsa as our meal with a fresh cookie at the end of the day. During the trip we got to see whales, seals, dall sheep, puffins, sea otters and of course the glacier! Definitely recommend if you want to see a glacier or animals in their natural habitat.

Thank you for sharing your amazing experience! We're thrilled to hear that calm waters allowed you to get up close to the glacier and enjoy all the sights along the way. It sounds like the wildlife—whales, seals, puffins, and more—really made the trip special. We're glad you enjoyed the chicken burrito meal and the fresh cookie treat to end the day.
