Genuinely good people and a great time - This tour company is wonderful. The cruise itself was great. The staff were friendly and engaging. I get seasick so I took different motion sickness prevention measures (sea bands, bonine, and some oil tincture on my wrist - the scent lessens nausea). The crew checked in on me several times on the ride to make sure I was okay. They helped me enjoy the cruise even with my motion sensitivity. We saw a mountain goat, bald eagles, pigeon guillemot, cormorant, sea lions, sea otters, and dall’s porpoises. The company went above and beyond after we got home. My son was sad that we didn’t bring home the brochure with the animal pictures on it so I called and asked if they could mail one to us and they did! They even sent it priority so it got here fast. I highly recommend them. Seriously good people.

Spring Wildlife Cruise - Great time! - Great experience and would highly recommend. Captain and crew were very knowledgable and friendly. As with any wildlife tour, what you see varies day to day, but we got very lucky on ours. On our tour, we got to get really close to some humpback whales and porpoises, and also saw otters, harbor seals, many sea lions, bald eagles, and mountain goats. A great time, especially for the relatively low price.

"Don't miss" tour! - Whale sightings; interesting wildlife all along the way. Crew was outstanding: friendly and informative. Captain Chris went above and beyond to spot and stay with whales, dolphins, sea otters, seals, etc. The ship itself was new and spotless.
