Absolutely outstanding tour! We were blessed with a beautiful day, so of course that helped a lot, but Captain Mark and the rest of the crew were what really made it great. We saw one humpback, a Dall's porpoise, several otters, bunches of sea lions, and a gazillion puffins, as well as glaciers, rock spires, and other amazing scenery. Lunch and the fresh-baked cookies were yummy, and it was nice being able to go in and out as we wanted. Passenger recommendations: Get there to check in at least an hour early, and get in line; get on the boat ASAP and secure an inside table. After everyone is on, you can go in and out as you'd like, but you'll be glad to have somewhere warm inside to sit down. Also, everyone crowded the front of the boat, but you'll eventually see the same things from the rear, plus you'll be less crowded, more protected from the wind, AND the restrooms are back there. Definitely dress WARM! It was beautiful and sunny, and almost 70 degrees on land that day, but we were in heavy coats, scarves, hats, and gloves on the boat, and were all glad we had them. Oh, and I have to give a shout-out to the check-in and gift shop staff, especially Beth (check-in) and Jonny (gift shop). They really helped round out a well-operated tour company!
