Premiere Whale Watching Experience:
“The Whale Watching Adventure was Fantastic! The Captain and First Mate were informative and personable. We saw numerous humpback whales and many sealions. Also the trip was smooth sailing.”
Ava
“I cannot emphasize how amazing our tour was and how much we enjoyed spending the morning with John the tour company owner. This tour was the highlight of our trip. John is not only a friendly and fun guy but really knows his stuff. We were able to see five total bears, two sets of a mother and cub and one male bear. He also brought us to a beautiful spot where we could try local berries fresh off of the plants. John's van is also incredibly clean for something that takes tourists around the natural beauty of the Alaskan mountains. I would really recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the area from someone who lives there and who wants to really enjoy nature. John is so knowledgeable and we felt safe with him even while we were (somewhat) close to the bears. 10/10 recommend.”
Jason
“Captain Albert and guide Kaya did a great job finding whales, sea otters, and seals for us. We located a Humpback whale that was jumping, flopping, and having fun for close to 30 minutes! That really was a show of a lifetime. Highly recommended.”
