We waited and waited and no one ever showed up. I had sent multiple messages with no response. Wasted an hour of our short visit waiting.

Our captain was from the Tlingit nation and her first mate was a marine biologist. We were able to see whales, sea otters, and sea lions. I think my favorite part was the stories the captain shared from the Tlingit nation. I felt privileged to be able to listen to these wonderful stories. It was an excellent time!

Nice boat, we were able to stay inside and the windows lifted up. Saw 6-8 whales, a huge group of sea otters and at least 6 sea lions.

The tour was good. We were able to see several whales however it was from quite a distance. Sea lions and sea otters we were able to see from much closer. The boat was good and the crew knowledge of the wildlife and local area.
