Best Fjord tour - This tour ended up being our most favorite thing we did on our trip to Alaska. We saw so much. Seeing a glacier calve into the water was amazing and then followed it up with catching the humpback whales hunting. We even got to see a baby Orca. Just amazing. Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable and even funny. Would definitely do this again and again

Wonderful day, wonderful sea life. - The captain, Mark Winstead made the trip, especially good. He knew where to find all the exciting things to see, and he let us spend substantial time at the Northwestern fjord glacier. He has broad knowledge of sea life, geology, and everything else that was relevant to the trip. The crew was excellent. It was a wonderful day.

Simply amazing! - Fantastic tour with Captain Chris & crew. Day started out dreary but the wildlife didn’t care! Saw a pod of Orcas with one breaching then later a large pod of humpbacks feeding and saw one breach. Seeing the glaciers up close was amazing. They also got super close to a waterfall! Truly an amazing day

Northwestern Fjord tour not to be missed - We spent 8 hours on the Northwestern Fjord Tour and it was amazing. I was concerned about 8 hours on a boat and the time went very fast. The breakfast snack, lunch and afternoon snacks were all delicious and the sights and animals were wonderful. We saw humpback whales, killer whales, seals, otters, puffins and up close and personal with glaciers calving. It was amazing! A highlight was watching the humpback whales bubble netting. What a great 8 hours, Remember to dress warm, I was glad I had gloves, hat and a jacket to protect against the wind.
