    5/5

    We had an amazing experience on this boat tour! Mya, our guide, made the trip even more enjoyable. She has such a calming, pleasant voice, and her narration kept us engaged throughout the entire journey. It actually relaxes us. The tour is a little on the expensive side, but after experiencing it, I can honestly say it was worth it. We were lucky enough to see whales, adorable sea otters, playful seals, and the breathtaking icebergs up close. The scenery was absolutely unforgettable. It’s a 2 hour then another 1 hour when you enter the Fjord. We saw calving as well. It’s so cold so make sure you have layers and everything. There’s a few binoculars free to use so grab that. Free hot chocolate and coffee. The lunch was a turkey or vegetarian sandwich with a chip and cookie. So make sure to bring your food or packed a proper lunch. Thank you to Mya and the entire crew for making this such a memorable adventure. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
