What a fantastic 7 hour boat trip we had. From the moment we stepped through the door the staff were amazing, very friendly and attentive.
The actual boat trip takes a bit of time to get to the areas where most wildlife can be found but when you get there, orcas, dalls porpoise, white sided dolphins, stellar seals, bald eagles, hump backed whales, Wow. Unfortunately no bears on this occasion but hey, you can't get it all.
Captain Jason kept us all up to date and amused us throughout so special thanks to him. 7 hours might seem a long time out but it goes in a flash. Thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone interested in the wildlife
