A good guide can make or break a tour like this and Captain Eli was a great storyteller with a wealth of information. In addition, we saw harbor seals, porpoises, cormorants and bald eagles. Appreciated that they allowed both sides of the boat to get good views of the wildlife. It does get chilly on the boat so bring a jacket. Highly recommend this tour.

Could not see a thing and definitely no seals, eagles, mountains or other wildlife. But we did have Donna as our narrator - she was awesome. We all learned so much - she was so knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting info and fun facts. Great visit to the island. Also fog lifted a few times and we saw the beautiful aquamarine water in Somme's sound and the nesting cliffs of the Peregrine falcon. Captain Rob and Mate Jordan did a great job as well. Highly recommend.
