Due to an unexpected commitment our Whale watching tour by Capt. Josh was canceled, but he suggested we go out with a friend of his, Capt. Billy of Wooshkeetaan Tours. Capt. Billy steared us out of Hoonah, Alaska first looking for bears along the shore. We found two but they were not very close and somewhat difficult to see even with my telephoto camera lens. Then it was not very far to find our first humback whale bubble net feeding. That is where one or more whales swim in a circle blowing bubbles which surrounds the small fish in an ever tightening circle till the whale’s mouth opens at the surface capturing and swallowing all those fish. Then the whale swims and surfaces 3 or 4 more times till he finally dives down with one last majestic tail splash. We followed that same whale for 6-7 feeds. Capt. Billy communicated with all the boat captains on the water in that area to find then a large pod of whales swimming and feeding together. What an awesome sight to see that was with so many whales at once. As we cruised the Alaskan waters of Icy Straight Point we spied many otters frolicking, lots of eagles perched on the rocky shores, as well as some harbor seals lounging on a big harbor bouy. This whole morning was a truly memorable experience!

My wife and I had an amazing time whale 🐳 watching with Captain Billy as our guide. He was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. Exactly what you want on an excursion like this. In addition to the pod of whales feeding for multiple events Captain Billy took us to see a Brown Bear foraging along the shoreline, sea lions hunting salmon, bald eagles and Ravens eating salmon as well. We had an awesome cruise and we both agreed this was the best experience of the cruise, the Hubbard glacier was a close second. We highly recommend this excursion! We took more videos than pictures so the pictures I posted don't do this justice.

Great boat trip to see whales while at Icy Straits Alaska. Captain Billy was very knowledgeable about spotting whales. Saw numerous humpback whales.He even spotted some bears and eagles on shore.

This was the most incredible experience we have ever been a part of. Captain Billy might be the most knowledgeable boat captain on the planet. He knew exactly where to find the whales, bears, and narrated our journey beautifully. He spotted a mama bear and two cubs from about a mile out, which means he may actually have super vision as well. Go see Captain Billy if you want to have an amazing whale watching experience!

We had Captain Billy. He was born and raised in Alaska. Hence, he knows the animals habits. We saw two bears and had the most incredible whale watching experience. A great plus was Billy’s boat was metal and amplified the whales singing. We would have chartered him longer and fished for halibut. He takes six people and has a heated stove to keep you warm inside. I highly recommend Billy for your Alaskan adventure!

Absolutely amazing experience with Captain Billy. We were able to see bears, orcas and humpback whales! He was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun for our whole family. Would highly recommend!

Sheri_M

Billy was awesome. We told him we would really like to see Orcas and boy did he deliver. The Orcas came up right to the boat and were so amazing to see in the wild. We then followed some humpback whales and got to see them dive down showing off their tails. The young one was still learning this so his tail dive was crooked. It was incredible. Loved every minute and would highly recommend this tour.

We were lucky enough to book with Captain Billy on his excellent boat for a whale-watching tour. It was so fantastic to be on a boat with only six people on the tour! THAT is the way to go. We saw bears onshore and because we were a smaller vessel, were able to get pretty close! We saw many, many seals, seal lions, otters, whales and surprise Orca's really close off of our bow! (I was not quick enough to get the video, but my husband did! Amazing) Captain Billy is hospitable and knowledgeable. He packs snacks and water for his guests. I so very highly recommend him.

Capt. Bill was extremely knowledgeable and a great guide. Everything was excellent and we saw Humpbacks breaching, Orcas, brown bears and Eagles. It was an awesome day!

We were previous owners/operators of the vessel, Silver Spoon. (F.I.S.H.E.S.) We wanted to take our daughters out on our previous boat. Captain Billy Mills was great, we saw everything. A young bear wrestling with a large piece of Visqueen on the beach, humpback whales, Orcas, sealions, sea otter. The weather was overcast and the seas calm. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
