It was exhilarating sensation going full speed across the chilly waters with so much nature around you. Of course you cant help to stop and glance around. The highlight of of our trip was when we saw a pod of humpback whales!!! We were told by our guide Kevin that it is the season when they are migrating back to Alaska and that if we were lucky we would see one but we saw 5 including 1 calf! It was a beautiful image.

I've been to Alaska before but this is by far the closest to a real Alaskan experience, we knew that wildlife sightseeing weren't guaranteed but we were lucky enough to see a few black bears. Second time booking through this website, We will certainly do it a 3rd time.
