Amazing trip! The boat was super clean, lunch (clam chowder, bagel, oreo) was surprisingly yummy, and the crew were the best. You could tell they were trying their best to show us all the wildlife and make sure we had a good time. We had very nice weather so the glacier and mountains were beautiful and we saw so much wildlife (orcas, puffins, sea otters, sea lions). Would recommend this trip!

Excellent!!! Wonderful cruise. Saw all sorts of wildlife. The captain was very knowledgeable about where to see whales and other sea life. He got us up close and personal to Columbia Glacier. The lunch is a cup… of soup snd a bagel with creme cheese cheese. Tasted delicious in the brisk sea air. Dress warmly!!!! This was an exhilarating yet relaxing experience…,

Blown away by how kind and helpful all the staff were. Every last one you could tell really loved their job, which I think is the mark of a great company. Boat was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. Overhead speaker guiding our whole tour was informative and just an absolutely great addition to the overall ride. Could not possibly be any happier with our experience.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
A great and professional operation. The captain was very knowledgeable and friendly, sharing information on local history, flora and marine wildlife. Views of the glacier were absolutely stunning and worth every penny. Nice warm coffee was available at all times. A perfect day out.
