This tour was pure joy from start to finish. The scenery itself is spectacular, but the whales, porpoises, and sea otters are even better, and best of all was when the crew let down a hydrophone into the water so that we could hear the orcas communicating with each other. The captain and crew were both knowledgeable and helpful, and they seemed to take as much delight as we did in seeing all that cool stuff. Arrive early to get a good seat on the boat, but it's big enough, with plenty of room to move around inside and out. Order a vegetarian lunch in advance if you need one.
