Friendly Owners, beautiful spacious heated boat, lots of wildlife! - We couldn’t recommend them more! Capt Matt and his spouse were so friendly, it felt like being out on the water with old friends. Their boat was so comfortable and spacious but able to maneuver anywhere we wanted to go. It was such a beautiful ride and so much wildlife! We have been on several whale/sealife watching tours, Sea Piper Wildlife Tours has been the best! Thanks again!!

Scenic Whale watching tour - SO GREAT! Captain Matt was thoughtful, made sure we had treats, saw whales and a bear and more, and made sure we made it back to our cruise ship on time. Would love to do it again!

Amazing Experience!! - Matt & his first mate Cat made it a great day. Both were very knowledgeable about the area and the sea life. They supplied nice binoculars and we saw whales, sea lions, harbor seals, puffin, sea otters, and lots of birds. St. Lazaria Wildlife Refuge was a real treat! Cool island and amazing viewing of birds and sea stars, urchins etc.

Outstanding Experience- blew all of my expectations away!!! Book this tour! - Highly recommend this tour with Captain Matt! Everything from booking the tour to getting dropped off at the cruise terminal after our tour was wonderful! Captain Matt and his first mate were very knowledgeable and answered all of our question. We saw orcas, sea lions, sea otters, humpback whales, puffins and bald eagles. We had 16 people in our party and everyone from 3 years old to 67 years old had such a great time. We are still talking about it. What an incredible experience! If you are in Sitka for a day, reach out to Captain Matt!!

Recommended whale watching and more boat tour - We had such a great time on the Sea Piper with Captain Matt and his daughter! And freshly brewed coffee plus a clean and warm bathroom. Also, Matt made certain that we saw all the different wildlife from sea lions, otters, humpback whales, gray whales, bald eagles, and even bears with her two cubs on shore. There were even binoculars for everyone to use and wildlife booklets. He really knew where to go and was very knowledgeable too. Thank you Captain Matt!
