We booked with Captain Colleen for the private whale watching excursion and were not disappointed. We were picked up outside the gates of Icy Strait and headed to her watercraft the “Monkey” in Hoonah. The entire experience was top rate. She put us on the whales and we were awed by their massive size and the majestic views of the distant mountains of Glacier Bay. We chose to stay with the first couple of whales we found, although Captain Colleen offered to take us elsewhere. The trip was relaxing, she had drinks and snacks for us and was the perfect hostess. As we were preparing to return to port, the ships whale excursion approached our area, a double decker boat with at least 100-150 people on it. We were so happy to be on this small boat with a capacity of 6. Captain Colleen talked to us about her life as a cruise ship captain and living in Icy Strait and we left feeling like we had a new friend. We wouldn’t book with anyone else.
The entire experience was top rate. The trip was relaxing... We wouldn't book with anyone else!
