cross sound express whale watching印象

By time our travels brought us to Gustavus and Glacier Bay we had already had a few impressive encounters with whales, and we strongly considered canceling our trip on the Taz. Good thing we didn't. I don't know how Captain Tod does it but he has become amazingly in tune to where the whales are. Got close enough that we all felt the spray when the whales spouted as they dropped below our ship. It becomes a group event to call out when you spot a whale, but we came to a point in the bay where we all fell silent, whales surrounding us for 360 degrees and breaking surface every five or ten seconds. There was no reason to point anything out - we were in their world and we all took it in.

When a combination of nature and humans is treated with respect, you receive an amazing compensation. The captain and his collaborator were part of this magic moment. The whales, the light, the calm, the sound of the whales communication... only one small problem...when you enjoy so much time goes by so quick! Thank you so so much., if you have the opportunity do not miss this dream. Sure that we will be back from Barcelona.

Great experience! Couldn't have enjoyed it more. We were able to take some awesome photos of breaching whales on the four days that we went out on the TAZ, Capt. Todd is very knowledgeable about whales and takes the time to explain to first timers how to spot and what kind of whale they are looking at. The boat is clean and well cared for. We have gone whale watching in many places and with different kinds of boats and I can say we enjoyed the TAZ very much. You cannot go wrong going out with Capt. Todd. Even on the one trip where there were few whales to be found we enjoyed the fresh air and looking for the next one. Wildlife can't be programed and some days are not as good as others, so you have to be prepared to enjoy the area around you if the whales don't cooperate and swim in the area.

An incredible whale watching experience! We were surrounded by whales. I can see why the locals refer to Capt. Todd as the "whale whisperer" He was able to put our boat in the perfect position to be approached by the whales. The small boat makes the experience extra special. Don't miss this trip.

Captain Todd took good care of us on this half day whale watching excursion. The Taz is a comfortable clean boat and it is deftly skippered and narrated by Todd and assistant. They know how to find the whale pods and maneuver around to best view them. Hear whale sounds on the underwater microphone and walk right into the pilot house to talk with Todd and view schools of fish on the sonar scope. A really pleasant and educational experience!

The Taz is a comfortable boat. The Captain allows people into the wheelhouse to view whales and with permission allows you onto the bow. We spotted Sitka Black Tail Deer but no Bears. Early in season, so not many whales, but we did see whales. Lots of sea life. Plenty of hot drinks and snacks on board. Glad we took the trip.

Cross Sound Express was absolutely the best whale watching I have had! Everywhere we turned on this trip we seemed to find pods of humpback whales feeding and spouting and breaching, sometimes multiple pods in the same location. The owner, Tod, the owner, and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable about both the whales, their behavior and their ecology and seem to have a second sense of where the whales will be. They have wonderful extra touches as well - an aquatic microphone so you can hear the whales calling and free hot coffee and tea. I would recommend this trip for anyone who yearns to see whales up close and personal!

We had a great day out with Captain Todd on the Taz. His knowledge of the whales and wildlife and love of the area made the day exceptional. We had fabulous views of humpbacks enjoying a 'massage' in the kelp beds, feeding in synchronised groups and sounding all around us. He was also able to tell us so much about the sea otters rafting up with their babies, the large numbers of bald eagles and all the wildlife.A truly memorable day with a great character.

This is a small boat, holds about 25 passengers, so you can move all around the boat as the whales swim on all sides of you. When we found a pod of whales, the captain would turn off the motor. There we were in the beautiful bay, with the mountains around us, listening to the whales blow and whistle like trains, and slap their pectorals or breach. Our captain had a sharp eye and spotted birds and wildlife on the beach. He was as enthusiastic as if it was his first trip. It was glorious.

We enjoyed our whale watching expedition. Tod, the captain, is very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw many whales and treasured the experience of being so close to such huge creatures.
