What an amazing day! Captain's Tod and Sarah were incredible guides for our day in this beautiful area. I loved how respectful they were of the whales while still giving us stunning views of them. You could tell they genuinely care about the whales and their environment and were knowledgeable about them. I HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone visiting Gustavus/Glacier Bay NP. It was a truly memorable experience.

Up close viewing of whales. The TAZ was a good boat. Captain and crew very professional and knowledgeable of the whales, their behavior and environment. Would highly recommend going out on the TAZ. I would definitely go out with them again.

It was a great trip—saw lots of whales—our hosts were terrific. This is a great additional trip for those like me staying at the Glacier Bay Lodge. The boat had both indoor and outdoor seating so if you needed to take the chill off, you could easily do so!

We were able to see many humpback whales during our trip. We also enjoyed learning so much about the wildlife and the environment. One of our favorite experiences was hearing the whales when the hydrophone was lowered into the sea.

We had a fantastic whale watching trip. We got to see orcas! And several humpback whales. Todd and Sarah were fantastic! They were very knowledgeable about the whales and surrounding area. I highly recommend doing this whale watching trip while visiting Gustavus.

Beautiful day out on the water, and terrific conversation and information. And snacks and hot chocolate when we were chilly! The whales were incredible. A double breach and several other breaches- apparently more than half the time they surprise you with a breach!!! We will go again when in town.
