Capt Billy and his daughter Taylor gave us a wonderful tour out of Hoonah. They showed us brown bears, sea otters, sea lions, and some porpoises. To top it off we were in the midst of a bunch of humpback whales and could hear them singing thru the bottom of the boat. Wonderful people.

I cannot recommend this tour enough; Captain Billy was excellent! He went out of his way to make sure we had a fabulous time, and he was knowledgeable, very easy to talk to, and answered all of our questions. We were fortunate enough to be able to see sea lions, a bear on the shore, otters, humpback whales, bald eagles, and the sheer beauty of Alaska. This trip was of the highlights of our Alaskan vacation, and we definitely hope to do it again someday.

The tour with Captain Billy and his daughter was awesome! Both of them answered our many questions. Billy stopped on the way to the whales when he spotted a bear on the beach so we could observe and take pictures. Then we headed out to see some whales. There were about 20 whales around us including a baby and its mother. We got some really nice videos and photos. The whole experience was so beautiful! Highly recommend Captain Billy and his daughter! Thank you for a magical afternoon!

Billy and his daughter were great! Being on a smaller boat is soo nice. Every person on the boat had a great view. Saw tons of wildlife and Billy and Taylour had tons of information about them.
