5.00What a relaxing and fun experience! The crew gave us hot chocolate with whipped cream, crackers with salmon spread (including the delicious tecipe), a taste of pickled kelp, chocolate, and a special him made jelly. Best of all they gave us great views of eagles, eagle’s nest, light house, and totem poles. They were super friendly. The boat has plenty of outside room as well as inside too if you prefer that and 2 bathrooms. It was great to be with a small number of people and such a friendly crew who truly cares about Ketchikan.
Eagles and some Excellent Food!
