A lifelong local behind the wheel, 14 seats instead of 50, and no rush when the wildlife shows up. See Alaska between the postcards.

What are people saying about Alaska

Mendenhall Glacier Waterfall and Whale Watching Tour

Chris_B, Oct 2026

So many whales - Incredible

The most incredible experience - started with a short trip by coach from the cruise dock to the boat to go searching for whales. There is an observation deck at both the front and back of the boat and snacks are provided. We were so lucky to see humpback whales bubble feeding and around 15 swam straight past the boat, truly a once in a lifetime experience. Even a sea lion swam up close. Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and gave good advice on how best to spot the whales. Then onto the glacier where you can visit the visitors centre and walk to a nice waterfall with good views of the receding glacier. Our driver between stops was very funny and personable. Highly recommend this trip.

These are the guys to go Whale Watching with

What a great time. This tour was like having our own personal captain and crew. I believe there were only 17 of us on the "full" boat. It was so personalized and we saw whales "bubble net fishing". The crew of 2 put the throttle down to get us out to the site as fast as they could so we could enjoy as much time as possible watching the whales. Don't get on the boat with hundreds of tourist when you can travel with these guys. The few of us had plenty of room to spread out when we got outside of the boat to enjoy the show. I would say it was the highlight of our Alaskan cruise. Thank you!!

An Unforgettable Ketchikan Experience!

We had an incredible 3-hour custom driving tour of Ketchikan with Briggs, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide! Briggs was incredibly knowledgeable about the rich history of the city and provided wonderful insights into the Native culture and heritage of the area. To top it all off, He helped us spot amazing local wildlife—we saw salmon, eagles, and even a bear! It was a seamless, informative, and memorable highlight of our trip. Highly recommend Briggs to anyone visiting Ketchikan!

Donna_Y, Oct 2026

Highlight of the trip

Everything went so smoothly from the pickup to the drop off. Andrew was great. He gave us so many interesting tidbits about the Auroras and Alaska in general. The entire crew was very concerned about our comfort and kept us informed when there was activity. They offered many tips on how to get the best pictures with cameras and on our phones. It was nice that they had tripods for whoever needed them. The hot drinks came in handy but I wasn’t hungry enough to try the reindeer sausage. We went to 3 different areas and the sightings and pictures were amazing. It’s definitely cold so dress in layers and don’t forget your hand and toe warmers.

"Catch of the day" Whale-watching, Icy strait point, Hoonah

Braden_B, Sept 2026

The whales understood the assignment

My wife and I had an amazing experience with Catch of the Day in Hoonah aboard the Stormbreaker with Captain Dennis and his nephew. With a small group of about 10 people, we got to consistently watch 3–4 whales surface, dive, and slap their tails, and then we were lucky enough to see them breach, which was absolutely incredible and a true core memory. The boat was comfortable, with an enclosed heated cabin that was perfect for the Alaska weather. Captain Dennis and his nephew were friendly and knowledgeable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better whale-watching experience. Highly recommend!

Kenai Fjords National Park Glacier & Wildlife Cruise

Chelsea_F, Sept 2026

Highly recommended, what an amazing crew!

I had a phenomenal experience on this tour with Major Marine Tours. From the start they were incredibly welcoming to everyone on board. It was a rough water day in the gulf, but they were so kind & thoughtful to everyone on board ensuring they were taken care of if they were getting sick. The captain took the smoothest route possible to ensure maximum comfort. It was so appreciated & I know those who felt unwell were extremely well cared for. On the tour we saw so much wildlife! Right out of the harbor we saw a pair of mated eagles. My absolutely favorite thing was seeing a smack of moon jellies & floating over them (I may have shed a tear, they were stunning!). We also saw two black bears on the cliffs, porpoise, seals, sea lions, otters, and mountain goats. We spent 30 minutes at one of the largest glaciers in Alaska & was able to witness it calving several times. On the way to & from we saw several waterfalls & they even dipped us under one! The scenery was STUNNING. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

Bering Sea Crab Fisherman's Tour from Ketchikan

Darci_B, Sept 2026

Best Excursion In Alaska!!!

We were on a cruise that had three ports of call which included this one. If I could only choose one thing to do on my entire trip…. This would absolutely be the one!! From Captain Ron - to Big D - to Dave - and the rest of the crew….. this was a once in a lifetime opportunity!! From the second we stepped on the crab boat….. we felt like part of their family. They had so much knowledge. They shared personal stories and answered any questions. We saw bald eagles and were lucky enough to see a whale. We held crab and sea urchins. My daughter is in a wheelchair. Big D and Dave - as well as the rest of the crew - made sure she was included in the entire experience!!! We all highly recommend this excursion!!! IT IS A MUST!!

Alaska Whale Watching with bonus Drone viewing of Whales

Leslie_W, Sept 2026

Our whale watching tour...

Our whale watching tour with Capt Josh was fantastic. We saw lots of humpbacks including 2 females with their babies. Josh brought us close enough to get great views. We even saw Stellar Sea Lions and a lone Sea Otter that was floating on its back, letting us circle around so everyone could get the perfect view. Highly recommend this trip.
