We had a great excursion and loved hearing about the island's heritage and stories on our tour. We saw humpbacks, orcas, bald eagles, a sea lion, and an otter during our trip. We were very pleased and would recommend this trip to anyone considering it. Transportation to and from the cruise port was easy and efficient.

Our hosts were delightful. They drove us all over the island and shared the history and cultural background of each location. We saw a few bears and bald eagles in the wild, which was really cool. Overall, this was a wonderful experience!
Kathryn A - On the Icy Strait Wilderness Island Tour
I would highly recommend this fishing trip to anyone going to Alaska. The captain put us on fish almost immediately, and we caught about two dozen. We also got to see sea lions and sea otters. The captain was very informative and was fantastic with my grandchildren. If you are thinking of doing a halibut fishing tour, this is the one to take, and if we go back to Alaska, we will definitely do it again.
Lee M on the Icy Strait Halibut Fishing Tour
I can't say enough about the stream trout fly fishing experience with my guide, Nathalie. She was knowledgeable, well-equipped, and a good teacher. We got into a lot of fish in short order. She then found a Coastal bear not long after. All this in plenty of time to get back to the ship without rushing.
