Great time viewing humpback whales, porpoises, eagles and other wildlife! Josh and crew are entertaining and do a good job of getting everyone as close as allowed.

Avoid the excursions sold by the cruise ship itself, they're usually over priced and there are way too many people. Captain Josh's whale watching was perfect. Just 14 passengers on his boat and Josh really knows what he's doing as he took us to see many humpbacks as well as porpoises, sea lions, and a variety of other wildlife. He and his co-worker are very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat is great, you can sit inside with big windows to look out, or you can go outside fore and aft. Transportation from the cruise ship was painless as well. Book with Josh, he's one of the good guys. Thanks Josh!!!

We had such a wonderful time on this excursion during our stop at Icy Strait Point!!! Captain Josh and Patrick were both great. We saw about 7 whales - including a mom and her calf and a couple of whales bubble net feeding! We also saw sea lions, porpoises, otters, and bald eagles. Would definitely book with them again!!
