"I've been fortunate to travel extensively, and this was the trip of a lifetime. Every moment of the experience was a true blessing. Captain Neil Nickerson and his crew, including chef Jeff Polizzotto and engineer Al Smith, were the best. We were also fortunate to have John Schnell, a fantastic photographer and guide, with us for the charter. I highly recommend this trip. One month later, I'm still feeling inspired by the beauty and mystique of Alaska."

"The Women's Paddleboard Retreat was the perfect combination of a relaxing cruise, wildlife and sightseeing, delicious local foods, wine tasting, impromptu dancing, and a hot tub. The captain and crew were exceptional. I felt safe, well-cared for, and prepared with the valuable skills shared by Michelle. The trip was more than I expected, and I highly recommend it. Thank you, Neil, Michelle, Katie, Ayesha, Al, and John, for everything you did to make this trip so memorable."

"I had a wonderful experience on the Glacier Bear, with breathtaking scenery and close-up views of whales, bears, and other wildlife. It was an exciting journey, complete with tasty food and great companionship. We fished for our dinners, and I was thrilled to catch my first halibut. A highlight was learning to kayak and getting up close for photographs of wildlife and waterfalls. We spent an afternoon taking photos of a commercial crab boat in Pybus Bay, and it was pure joy. I would go again in a heartbeat—and I’ve been on this trip three times!"
