    Exceptional wildlife and history tour. If you have the chance to do this boat adventure, I recommend it with all my heart. Excellent narration. I loved the staff and the boat. We enjoyed an amazing tour seeing puffins, sea lions, & sea otters. Saw the amazing Coast Guard facility. Saw sites of World War II defense. Saw many working fishing boats. Learned some of the history of the area reaching back thousands of years.
