You won’t be disappointed!

Seven and a half hours seems long but you will not get bored. Captain and crew went beyond to keep the tour fun, informative, and entertaining. Everyone worked so hard and efficiently throughout the day. Lunch was really good especially our brownies! The glacier margaritas were a cool touch! Highly recommend!

High Five Experience

What an amazing experience we had with Capt. Justin and First Mate Jack! They brought us to so many beautiful bays and majestic views, as well as shared their enthusiastic and knowledgeable information for birds, sea mammals and all the wonderful sights around us. We were fortunate enough to enjoy a mostly sunny day with sightings of humpbacks, puffins, sea otters, seals, sea lions, eagles and so many sea birds. We had up close encounters with the Northwest Fjord and several majestic waterfalls. Best of all - we were so lucky to watch an Orca surface and swim around us for nearly a half hour! I would highly recommend this 8-hour true Alaskan experience and this wonderful, personable team. Thank you Justin and Jack!

Excellent tour - well worth it.

Excellent, excellent, excellent tour, captain was very good on history and educating us on the area and sea life and glaciers. The glacier was breath taking so beautiful and blue. Waterfalls were beautiful and sea life was so cool to see in the wild. We saw whales, sea lions, otters, puffins, seals, eagles, lots of birds and some jelly fish. Amazing day. Great tour.

12/10 recommend!!

Cannot recommend enough!! We saw everything - whales, sea lions, otters, porpoises. And the glacier was breathtaking. We had a perfect weather day with calm seas and no rain. Service on board was great. Good food for lunch, good drinks, and surprise sweet treat on the way back to the dock.
