This was an awesome tour and and I felt very save even so we had a bit of wind and waves.
The crew, and especialy Mika, told us everything about the animals we might see e.g., food choices of the different orcas and where we might see them and why. We also got cool fub facts about the different islands where we searched for animals ( in the end we saw sea lions, seals, dolphins, a huge group of orcas and in the port i spotted some see otters in the end).
I can only recommend this tour/team, it was awesome!
Best wishes fro Germany, Katharina

The staff were great! Friendly and informative. The tour delivered on its promise: we saw whales and sea lions. The boat was comfortable and provided enough mobility to move from bow to stern to view the Sound’s scenic beauty and wildlife.

Very pleasant boat trip with friendly, helpful staff. Smaller boat than expected because only 5 customers. Saw sealions but no whales. Appreciate sightings can't be guaranteed and season the is early, but met two people who had seen whales with other boats around same period. Unlucky but a nice calm day out with lovely views. They provided thick waterproof jackets.
