Corinne: The crew was great and very attentive. The Captain was very knowledgeable about the seas and nature alike. He made a point of finding wildlife for all to enjoy and maneuvered the boat so as to get the best photos. We sailed along side a pod of Orcas and spent extra time at the one glacier where the seals were resting on the ice. We had a great time.
