Wow. Where to start. We had an unbelievable experience with Captain Josh on this tour. He was nice, knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. During our trip we were able to experience humpback whales, a bear, seals, and Orcas!!!!! Captain Josh put us in the perfect position to fully experience the majestic views and amazing wildlife in the area. His drone addition is a game changer, as you will be able to see the footage of the wildlife you just experienced with a bird's eye view. For instance, during our tour, we were able to see humpbacks feeding and the drone footage took this to another level. The same is true for the pod of Orcas we witnessed hunting and eating a seal. I now get to check that off my bucket list. Thanks, Captain Josh! I highly recommend Josh and his tour!

Terrific wildlife tour on the water! Captain Josh's skill and perseverance enabled us to enjoy multiple whale sightings as well as a bear and sea otters. Drone footage is a nice touch and a real treat. Small groups give the feel of a private tour. Highly recommend!
