Highlight of our Alaska Trip! - My family and I had an incredible experience with Vivid Endeavors and Captain Seth! The boat is perfect and Captain Seth knows these waters. We saw MULTIPLE pods of humpback whales, tons of otters playing in the water, black tailed deers, a grizzly bear in the marsh, and even chased a pod of orcas. This excursion was the highlight of our Alaska trip and we would recommend them to anyone!

Book this Tour!!! - Captain Seth, made this cruise, a wonderful experience. We saw whales, bear, seals, otters, and eagles I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone. We were able to spend more time on the water and go to a lot more places than if we were on a larger tour. We saw some gorgeous views. Our boat, was very well supplied, clean and provided great views from both on the deck, and in the cabin, our captain was very knowledgeable, and a great host for our whale watching experience.

Best Experience EVER! - PICK THIS EXCURSION NOW!!! - We had the most amazing time with Captain Seth. We had spent over 4 hours in the water and got to see the beauty of Icy Strait Point. We were lucky enough to have seen whales, bears, eagles, porpoises, otters and much more! Captain Seth has been AWESOME and is very knowledgeable about the wildlife, the history of Icy Strait Point, and the best spots to visit. This excursion has been one of the best highlights of our AK Cruise. Thank you Seth for this experience. We will surely book with you again on our next trip! - Lex & Family :)

Fabulous, unforgettable experience!!! - We booked an Alaskan cruise late and all the whale watching tours were booked (which turned out to be a blessing!) I found Seth, at Vivid Endeavors, who offered a small, intimate experience with the longest time spent on the water. He was able to accommodate a wheel chair bound family member. Seth wheeled him up and down the ramp, and comfortably and safely transferred him onto his boat. Seth is friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and truly loves his job. We saw eagles, sea otters, sea lions, and whales. Did I say knowledgeable.....towards the end of our time, in an area where we were the only boat, Seth noticed a raft of sea lions acting strangely. He made the comment that they were acting like orcas were nearby. Shortly after, he yells orcas and heads toward several dorsal fins in the water. They had recently made a kill and he provided more information about transient killer whales, who had seemingly just killed a sea lion. It was sad, but fascinating when Seth identified a pair of lungs that floated by the boat. I highly, highly recommend Seth for an unforgettable experience!

Safe, punctual, friendly & lots of whales - We saw a bald eagle, a harbour seal and several humpback whales One obligingly breached and a few bubble net fed

Best whale watching excursion in Icy Strait Point! - We were on the Norwegian Bliss Alaska Cruise and we're looking for a local tour without the crowds and cost of Norwegian-sponsered tours. We found Vivd Endeavors and the boat Captain Seth. We booked the 4.25 hour whale watching tour. Online booking directly on the company website was easy. Seth texted us the night before our tour and confirmed all the details. Day of the tour, Seth met us promptly at the Excursion hub in Icy Strait Point. A quick private van trip to Hoonah and we were on the docks heading to our boat. The boat only takes maximum of 6 passengers. For that day, it was only the 4 people in our party on the boat! We ended up with a private tour. The boat was comfortable and felt very steady and safe. They provided hot coffee, bottled water, and snacks. There is also a bathroom on board. The best part about the boat was that there was a warm enclosed cabin and an outside platform on the front and back. And you can see everything from everywhere. We set sa from the docks and almost immediately found a pod of humpback whales. Seth provided a ton of information about the whales and got us in great position for pictures and viewing. After about 30 minutes there, we set sail for Adolphus point where Seth said a lot of sealife was active. He was right! Bears on the shore, humpbacks jumping out of the water, otters feeding, sea lions, and porpoises. We were the only boat there! We eventually headed back towards the humpback pod closer to the docks and got another good viewing and photo session. Seth asked us what we wanted to do and see more of and he adjusted the trip to our desires. Overall, this experience exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our whole cruise! Seth was awesome and so knowledgeable. It was also great to support a local company instead of a massive cruise company. 1000% with recommend and book again! Best experience and cheaper than the cruise ship excursions.

Great tour with Seth. ... - Great tour with Seth. Saw lots of whales, sea otters, seals. Seth makes a great effort to get away from the crowds and create a more intimate personal experience. Highly recommend.

What a fun tour! - This tour was perfect! We were able to see many whales, sea otters, & eagles! Seth was an outstanding captain with lots of local knowledge. We are so happy he had availability. The boat was very nicely sized and we had the entire trip to ourselves! We highly recommended Vivid Endeavors and will definitely be booking again if we return to Alaska.

A Great Experience - : Excellent!! Seth is a friendly, experienced captain who shared lots of local knowledge with us along the way. The whales were amazing! We saw rare bubble feeding and then sea lions were very closeto the boat! Highly recommmend. This was a great trip!!

Best excursion ever! - Last week, my family and I had an unforgettable time with Captain Seth. Despite the constraints of our limited cruise schedule, we maximized our experience through this excursion. We witnessed a diverse array of wildlife, including whales, bears, seals, otters, and eagles. The rarity of observing bubble net feeding among the whales made the adventure even more exceptional. The intimacy of being on a small boat added to the charm, ensuring a more personal connection with the surroundings. The entire experience was absolutely fantastic, we highly recommend booking with Vivid Endeavors!
