This was a absolutely great time. Small group. Rick is friendly and he enjoys what he does. Best time on the water

This is really _as_we_wanted_ trip. The captain - Rick is young, but experienced and very friendly. We got what we wanted and even more. At the end Rick brought us to the cruise port and not the town, what saved us unnecessary shuttle travel. Highly recommended! A private boat for the family of 5 - 6 without the crowds. Go for it!

Amazing tour! Rick has a spotless boat. My family was very comfortable and loved that he had heat and snacks. We saw whales, otters, sea lions and eagles. It absolutely met all of our expectations and more.

Absolutely the best tour of our Alaska trip! The Sitka Whale Watching Expedition was unforgettable — we saw humpback whales, gray whales, bald eagles, and playful sea otters. The boat was comfortable, the crew was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Truly a world-class experience. Highly recommended!
