Great job - We had great experience! We saw orcas, whales, seals, eagles and bears. The boat was very comfortable. There were snacks provided during our tour, which was very nice for our teenagers! The guide and captain both were very friendly! They tried their best to find wildlife for us to see. It was one of the best experiences we had at Ketchikan!

Enjoy the Boat! - Went out with Captain Jesse and Kaylee. Captain Jesse was knowledgeable and work hard to make sure we saw whales. We got glimpses of one whale and then pair of whales. Captain Jesse was in contact with other boats and actively worked to help find them. Luck was not with us. Captain Jesse compensated with taking us to see bald eagles. They were amazing. Kaylee was out on the front of the boat with fish making sure we got to see the Eagles! Other boats were taking advantage of Kaylee throwing fish, they were not as prepared. The boat was well stocked with rain gear, coats and pants for all of us, binoculars plus lots of towels. Plenty of snacks and warm drinks. Other boats were following us as we got leads on whale locations. Would recommend this excursion just remember whales are in the wild and you may not see them or only glimpses.

Amazing Whale Watching Trip! - Captain Jesse and Kaylee were amazing hosts and ensured we were provided with raincoats and pants from the rain. We saw fleetingly four humpback whales that breeched the surface and saw at least a dozen bald eagles and juveniles. We would recommend Eagle One Enterprises to our family and friends!

Whales & Eagles - We had such a nice time with Captain Jesse and his daughter. They found whales for us to view. In particular was a momma and baby humpback. We cruised along side for a bit, so all could get pictures. Then we went to an eagle area where they tossed some Herring for the eagles. It was amazing to see these majestic creatures so close. While one of the photo's I posted is blurry, it shows how close and fast they were to us. Great adventure and highly recommend.

Awesome crew, awesome experience - Amazing is all I can say. Captain Jesse and Evan were so informative and friendly. We saw multiple whales breaching and spouting. They took us to an area where Eagles hunt and they fed them! There were at least 15 eagles flying around our boat. This was the highlight for me. Highly recommend!

Whale watching and bald eagle experience - Went on this whale watching tour with Captain Jessie and Kaylee. It was a very cold day however they had blanket and warm beverages for us to drink. Saw several families of whales and then were taken to a point were we saw bald eagles. By the time we left, there were probably 12 with adults and juveniles. Such an awesome experience and I would recommend this for everyone.
