spots a pod of whales and this gives you the chance to take awesome pictures as you witness them feeding and playing, then the whales dive down deep and come back up, spouting. As your captain points out the sights, you will enjoy spying on the seabirds and examining the coast line with provided binoculars. It is truly an incredible sight! All the seals, sea lions, otters and bald eagles are a bonus.

All of our boats are very comfortable with covered and outdoor viewing areas. In addition, each boat is designed with water jet drives to ensure quiet underwater operation without dangerous propellers that may frighten or harm the animals. Our captains are specially trained to follow federal viewing guidelines from a safe distance.
Our jet boats have an outdoor viewing deck to allow for an up close and personal experience with the wildlife. Once a whale is spotted, our captains will navigate to a safe location with an opportunity for excellent photo opportunities. In addition, hydrophones may be lowered into the water to allow you to hear the whales communicate with each other. Also, while on the water there will be a naturalist who will guide you through the tour and answer any questions you might have about the flora and fauna of Alaska.
