Great small boat tour - This is a small boat tour with two to five people. This small tour allows you to ask questions and makes the tour more personal.

Totally Recommend this one!! - One of the best excursions I've been on. I love waterfalls to begin with and I was not disappointed. Totally breath taking scenery and even say some bald eagles along the way. Waterfalls are just so beautiful to me. Definitely not disappointed.

We were a big group with... - We were a big group with lots of kids (age range 1-16) and everyone agreed the waterfall tour was the best excursion! Luke was responsive and helpful when we encountered delays and helped us navigate to the boat slip quickly. The boat was comfortable and allowed for us to be inside or outside as we desired. We really appreciated how dedicated the crew was to making the experience relaxing and enjoyable for everyone. And the smoked salmon was delicious. We highly recommend the waterfall tour (and supporting local)!

Wonderful waterfall and eagle day! - Luke was an amazing captain. Showing so many waterfalls and pointing out eagles along the way. We were the only boat out there except for a shrimping boat which they showed us what they were doing. Highly recommended doing it and get away from cookie cutter, populated excursions.

Our favorite excursion - I took my teenage my teenage son and myself. The guide was very knowledgeable, the boat was clean and it was nice break from the busy cruise ship. My son said it was his favorite excursion on our Alaskan cruise.

Waterfalls are my love language - The boat gets super close to the waterfalls so that you can experience as though you were in a personal watercraft. Great time!!!

Great up close Views. - Was very enjoyable and laid back. Saw about 15 bald eagles and 10 or so waterfalls. A couple harbor seals floated by. No mountain goats or bears that day but still a fun time.
