    Right from making the booking, the team at Icy Strait Whale Adventures were great to deal with. Fantastic whale watching experience. Our guide & skipper were extremely engaging. They both gave us a detailed talk on the whales, their habits & the local area. Small vessel with windows that open creating uninterrupted views. Highly recommend this excursion.
