What to expect
You will travel out into Icy Strait with company owner Captain Josh in his small 14-passenger boat, and seek out wildlife, such as Humpback Whales, Orcas, Coastal Brown Bears, Sea lions, seals, and more! He has a 100% success rate with finding Humpback Whales on tours! His custom boat is also designed to give you excellent indoor and outdoor viewing of wildlife.
During the course of our 3-hour tour, while you are enjoying views of marine life from the boat, we will ADD to your viewing experience by deploying a professional filmography drone from the boat, and film the wildlife from above. You can be watching a mother whale and her calf from the boat, and on our way in watch what they and all the other wildlife was doing from above! We understand how incredible the connection with the wildlife is, and that's why we try to give you an additional viewing perspective, but one that doesn't detract from what's happening. It adds to the tour, without losing anything!
Seeing the whole whale swimming through its environment, watching calves playing with their mothers, or orcas swimming in their pods, is only made better with the extra drone's perspective!

We saw lots of whales, sea lions, and we were one of the lucky groups to see orcas!! The drone videos he took and showed us while we were out there were AMAZING and made it a one of a kind tour! Best whale watch I’ve ever been on!

We had such a wonderful time with Captain Josh! Gorgeous scenery and tons of wildlife! Humpback whales, porpoises, harbor seals, bald eagles, otters….we even saw some whales bubble net feeding! It was one of the real highlights of our Alaska vacation! Captain Josh is super friendly - he even came and rescued me and my family on the side of the road when the walk ended up being longer than we thought! Would book again in a heartbeat!!What an amazing trip this tour was! We saw many whales, sea otters, many varieties of fish, bald eagles- so much beauty and Captain Josh was very friendly and knowledgeable and showed how much he truly loves the ocean and wildlife. The drone footage is outstanding! This is a definite tour to go on!
