Wonderful experience

Published on Sep, 2024

Wonderful trip, weather cleared, no rain. Saw lots of whales and tales. The captain and crew was fantastic explaining everything about the whales and putting the boat in position to get the best views of the whales.

Awesome company, awesome adventure

Published on Sep, 2024

As we went out in our boat in the rain, the sun came out and we saw the most vibrant double rainbow. We were entertained by Orcas and humpback whales, including some moms with their calves. We saw eagles and porpoises. We even saw the famous whale Flame fluke. It was a memorable, excellent trip guided by Captain Scott, Tess and Shay. They were all welcoming and helpful, with a wealth of information. Even our shuttle driver Mark was awesome. I highly recommend this company and would definitely book with them again.

We hit the lotto!

Published on Sep, 2024

Caption Ben is the whale whisperer! Zoey and Tess were excellent deck hands and have an immense passion for these beautiful creatures. We hit the lotto - the weather was overcast, but warm and dry; we saw a mother and calf, small pod, and a whale breached. We absolutely recommend this tour!

Whales Tails !

Published on Sep, 2024

We saw a number of whales including one that breached twice . The crew of Ben , Jayden and Noah were fun and informative . Great afternoon

Wonderful experience!!

Published on Sep, 2024

The whale watching was absolutely amazing!! we saw lots of whales,sea birds, and eagles. We also saw a sea lion and many harbor seals. Our guides, Tess and Noah were awesome. They answered every question, no matter how stupid. Captain Scott was hilarious and kept us safe while giving us the best vantage point to view the beautiful whales. Mendenhall Glacier was just breathtaking. Recommend the trail of time walk. Would book this trip again with no qualms.
