    Absolutely amazing experience! The team’s enthusiasm was contagious as they shared fascinating and humorous insights about the local wildlife, including orcas, humpback whales, and more. Cruising alongside the breathtaking snowy mountains felt like a dream, and spotting both orcas and humpback whales was truly the highlight of the trip. They maintained a respectful distance from the animals, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this adventure to everyone!
