Due to an unexpected commitment our Whale watching tour by Capt. Josh was canceled, but he suggested we go out with a friend of his, Capt. Billy of Wooshkeetaan Tours. Capt. Billy steared us out of Hoonah, Alaska first looking for bears along the shore. We found two but they were not very close and somewhat difficult to see even with my telephoto camera lens. Then it was not very far to find our first humback whale bubble net feeding. That is where one or more whales swim in a circle blowing bubbles which surrounds the small fish in an ever tightening circle till the whale’s mouth opens at the surface capturing and swallowing all those fish. Then the whale swims and surfaces 3 or 4 more times till he finally dives down with one last majestic tail splash. We followed that same whale for 6-7 feeds. Capt. Billy communicated with all the boat captains on the water in that area to find then a large pod of whales swimming and feeding together. What an awesome sight to see that was with so many whales at once. As we cruised the Alaskan waters of Icy Straight Point we spied many otters frolicking, lots of eagles perched on the rocky shores, as well as some harbor seals lounging on a big harbor bouy. This whole morning was a truly memorable experience!

My wife and I had an amazing time whale 🐳 watching with Captain Billy as our guide. He was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. Exactly what you want on an excursion like this. In addition to the pod of whales feeding for multiple events Captain Billy took us to see a Brown Bear foraging along the shoreline, sea lions hunting salmon, bald eagles and Ravens eating salmon as well. We had an awesome cruise and we both agreed this was the best experience of the cruise, the Hubbard glacier was a close second. We highly recommend this excursion! We took more videos than pictures so the pictures I posted don't do this justice.
