Just wow - Incredible!
Worth every penny.
Just don’t sit behind the HVAC on the roof deck and don’t forget your jacket.

Excellent tour! - Excellent tour and high safety standards! I did it as a solo traveler and photographer and I highly enjoyed it. We were able to encounter a family of 3 orcas, and some sea lions and seals. I really liked that the team of FRS Clipper chased the wildlife for us so we didn't miss the chance to see them. And I also loved all the facts they shared with us regarding these animals. In parallel , seeing those islands from afar was a delight. Highly recommended.

Not guaranteed - While it was amazing to see the whales and be out there with wildlife. When we first arrived they told us that viator tickets don't always book correctly so they had ro check to see if we could even go on the tour. We paid for premium seats and didn't end up getting them because they just found available ones for us. Luckily we where able to just sit on the top deck the whole time. So becareful booking because they might turn u away .

Prison Boat - I called ahead of time to see how long the boat ride was. We had family members we needed to pick up at the Spokane airport at 8:30 pm. I was told we would be done by 2:30. Perfect, that was plenty of time to get there so I booked the trip which was not cheap. $300 for 2 people. When we got there after the trip was paid for our tickets said ride was over at 3:30, okay we could still make it on time. We did not get off of the boat until after 5pm!!! We were not able to pick up our family members as we didn't get to Spokane until 10pm. Just be aware that they can hold you captive all day long and there is nothing you can do about it. We named it the prision boat.

Problem with Trip Advisor/Viator. - I’m not rating the tour. We bought tickets for premium seating through trip advisor/viator. We got a call from FRS that the seats we purchased weren’t available and I was directed to call viator to change them. Unfortunately the call center wasn’t helpful and at this point, I have not received the email she promised showing the cancellation. Do not buy tickets directly thru trip advisor. Go to the website for FRS and get them directly.
