Breathtakingly beautiful!!

Amazing, amazing , amazing! The crew on the Major Marine 360 boat were fantastic!! The views are just unbeatable…..like something out of a movie! I felt like I was in another world! We saw sea lions, seals, humpback whales, killer whales, porpoises, puffins, otters, and even a black bear out swimming! The glacier was so beautiful and it was really nice to be able to park in the cove where the glacier was and just hang out there for about 20 minutes to take in the sights!

Wonderful experience

It was a highlight of our trip! Friendly knowledgeable crew, unbelievable scenery. Captain went off the normal route because she heard there were orca whales in a certain area. Also saw a humpback!

Really fun experience!

Most of the trip was pretty warm, even outside by the railing, but it got really chilly near the glacier. That being said, we saw everything we hoped for! Orcas, humpbacks, sea lions, puffins, a black bear, a sea otter, a some porpoises, and a ton of other birds. The captain did a great job trying to let everyone have a view no matter where they were on the ship. It was very exciting for us. Also a special shout out to Sam, who works on board! Fun guy to talk to. :)
