100% hands down, no question an amazing experience!!!! My boyfriend and I went on a cruise to Alaska and we’re lucky enough to catch a seat on this amazing whale watching tour. We saw so much wildlife including porpoises, stellar seals, otters and humpback whales! Captain Josh has an amazing personality and is a joy to be around. He also is very educational which is a bonus. The boat was very spacious and comfortable as well. The drone footage was spectacular! No other company offers this type of view!!! Super cool to experience. So thankful To Captain Josh for such an amazing experience!

I was initially skeptical about the drone part, I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it, or if it would be distracting from the whales, which are why I was there, or even might be something that disturbed the whales. But they put the drone up so quick I didn't even realize it was going up, and it was so high we could barely see it. And the videos that the drone took for us that we watched were amazing! It really made the tour better!
