From the moment we stepped onto the boat, we knew this was going to be an adventure to remember. Captain Jesse, with his infectious energy and deep knowledge of the sea, guided us through the waters with ease. His passion for the ocean was clear in every word he spoke, bringing the marine world to life in ways we never expected. Alongside him, Brenna shared stories and insights. Our family was captivated from start to finish. The thrill of spotting these majestic creatures up close was unforgettable, but it was the thoughtful, fun, and expert way Captain Jesse and Brenna, presented it all that truly made the day special. They didn’t just show us whales; they helped us understand them and the Wildlife of Alaska. This was more than whale watching—it was an experience that left us with a deeper connection to the ocean and its wonders. Highly recommended for anyone seeking more than just a glimpse of whales but a journey into their incredible world.

The tour got canceled. That was alright as most whales have already left these waters. I have nothing more to say.

Oh goodness!! Poor Robert here has no idea what is around our Alaskan waters as he is not from around Southeast Alaska. It just baffles my business mind that we get people like this spending time reviewing due to bad weather. Just so anyone reading this knows, we had a very high wind on this day. It was gusting into the 50s. He also received a full refund. As most intelligent people can figure out, I do not control the weather. As for the whales already leaving these waters remark. Robert, we have been getting more than usual whale activity this season and especially this month. Every tour we have had we’ve seen multiple Humpbacks and Orcas about every two/three days. So please try your hardest next time you make an absolutely ridiculous comment/review to get your facts correct. Like the news coverage in this country, fact checking is always the best policy to ensure you know what you are talking about. But I do suspect you are like many who just spout off BS without putting any forethought into what you say. Now! I have nothing more to say.

We ended up selecting this as a last minute excursion since our snorkeling excursion cancelled on us. It did not disappoint! We had Jesse/Jesse and they were great. We saw killer whales/orcas, seals and humpback whales. We did this in September for reference.
