The wildlife we got to see was amazing. Bald eagles, whales and sea lions. Although a rainy day the experience and care we received from Captain Jessie and Kayla was fantastic. Highly recommend this trip and of course this crew. Must do in Ketchikan!

Brandi_S

We booked last minute and the company was able to accommodate us. We had a great experience and saw humpback and orca whales, as well as bald eagles. Would Recommend and would do again.

Friendly staff, saw multiple whales, helpful commentary by the captain. Thoughtful touches like blankets and snacks make it even better.

Patricia_D

The fact that they waited for us even thougg our cruise ship made us late spoke volumns of this family owned business. They took the time we needed to find the whales, then educated us on life in Ketchikan Alaska sealife. Kept us warm on board their boat, our tummy's fed with snacks, and hydrated. We saw humpback whales, bald eagles, Sea Lions and orcas. Amazing team!!!!

The views were amazing. We saw humpback whales, spotted seals and bald eagles. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable and we all had a fantastic time.

The captain and crew were great! Evan was able to feed eagles by their nest which included babies. They explained the eagles habits and how they take care of their eaglets.....We saw a whale breach and sea lions and they really knew the area of Ketchikan.

This excursion was fantastic! Evan, Jessie, and Captain Jesse were extremely knowledgeable, and went out of their way to make us comfortable and ensure we had a good time. I highly recommend booking with Eagle One!

On our cruise to Alaska, we had whale watching excursions in every port. Eagle One with Captain Jesse, Evan and Jessie from Ketchikan were our favorite! We got confused on where the check in point was and we thought for sure that we had missed the boat. They called us and guided us to the right location. We were so fortunate to have a crew that cared we weren’t left behind! Captain Jesse showed us some amazing spots - including an eagles nest! Major highlight was seeing a whale breach - our first sighting out of three other whale watching excursions!! Evan and Jessie were great giving us information on the land and animals!

Everyone on the boat was very nice and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour. Very clean boat with water and snacks provided.

We booked a whale watch through Eagle One as opposed to booking through our cruise ship, as the reviews were terrible for the ones though the ship. I was nervous about the timing as we weren't in port for very long, so if we were late returning the ship might leave without us. However, there was plenty of time for a fabulous tour, a walk around Ketchican and for us to return to the ship without any problems. I'm so glad we booked this tour. We had Capitan Jesse and Evan and they really made the trip memorable for us. They had great personalities, but were also very knowledgeable about marine life. Before our tour, they were already out scouting areas where we could view the whales, so when our tour began they knew right where we needed to go. No time wasted on trying to find where the whales were, they headed right to their location. We spent much time in this inlet. ALso for the number of whale watch companies that there are in Alaska, there weren't any other boats where we were....just a couple of kayakers. I have been on many whale watches and this was the best one, hands down. We were so close, my family and I were in awe. Jesse and Evan told us what to look for, paused for us to take in the sights, told us where to point the cameras. On our way back, we passed some other whales and we stopped to see them as well. Plenty of time to spare to get back to our ship in time to depart. I would 100% recommend this company and this tour.
