their 8.5 hour cruise was my big investment of an 8 day alaska trip and was truly the highlight. we were very lucky with bright sun, still waters, warm air, a top notch crew and captain, and *so* many animals!
we saw 84 orcas (!!!), sea lions, seals, delightful birds, a humpback whale, porpoises playing with the boat, living glaciers, and more. our crew was michelle, colleen, and our world class captain was gary. captain gary is so knowledgeable, patient, and respectful of nature. make sure to listen to everything he says.
if you have time, take the full day cruise with gary and have your good camera and binoculars ready!
