A note about this tour
There is a free-flow of outdoor air through out the open boat which has a small covered area.
Overview
This is our most popular tour that brings in all the best sights and sensations of life on Puget Sound. This is an interactive tour! Our guides and crew have the top experience and perspective in the area and we love to share it! We take-in the beauty of our quaint "Maritime City" then go boldly out onto the open waters of the Tacoma Narrows to gather views from under our two major suspension bridges, wildlife like Bald Eagles, Great Blue Heron, seals and cute little seabirds. Our heavy-duty, ex-navy boat has a smooth comfortable ride. Safety is our first priority. Our boats and staff are certified and licensed by the US Coast Guard. This is a fun, quality trip to remember! ( Senior Age is 62.)

Me and my boyfriend were traveling across WA and this was one of our activities we needed to do! We had lunch at Anthony's Restaurant, which had amazing calamari and clam chowder. Ethan and Owen were the crew and they did a great job at keeping us safe, comfortable, and informed. That day we were seeing potential rain and heard thunder. Ethan was very nice and kept us updated with what happens if it rained. Thankfully it didn't! Instead we saw sea lions, bald eagles, blue heron, and a rainbow. The boat ride was lovely as we heard the wild stories of the Narrows Bridges and learned about the waters and communities that live there. Gig Harbor has spectacular views that you don't see in Wisconsin. Loved the tour and appreciate the crew for their service, highly would recommend this to anyone!

This boat tour was a great way to see Gig Harbor! You go through the narrows, under the bridges, and around the puget sound. We saw about 80 seals on the ride. It did rain pretty hard for a good half of the tour, but captain Ethan was very prepared for this, and he had a cover for everyone to stand under, an extra rain coat available incase anybody needed it, and he gave us some great inside tips for staying dry on the seas! I would recommend this boat tour to anyone wanting to explore Gig Harbor. We did not realize this event was about an hour away from Seattle, so if you are staying in Seattle, and are interested in doing this tour, I do recommend you rent your own car for your trip, seeing as how the Uber ride was $130, and after 5 PM no lyfts or Ubers will cross the bridge due to a toll we did not know about ahead of time. Overall this tour was a lot of fun, and if you’re lucky you’ll get to see some cool wildlife while on the water. I recommend it to everyone!

Was so quick and easy and fun. Went as a tourist in our own area. Thoroughly enjoyed the ride, the sea life and great guides.

The operator was a great tour guide. He was very informative and helpful. You could tell he loved the area and was part of the local culture. The boat was very clean and we felt very safe and comfortable. We love Gig Harbor and it was a great tour!

We have gone on this tour around 7-8 times and every time it has been a joy. Great experience, great tour guide pointing out interesting things along the way and saw bald eagles and harbor seals.

Super nice, knowledgeable and customer focused captain and crew mate. Boat stopped to ensure all onboard could easily view/photograph wildlife and special sights. Will bring visitors coming to town. Great way to see Gig Harbor.

This tour is well worth the money. We saw seals, bald eagles and heron. The scenery was amazing. Amazing views of Mt. Ranier from the Puget sound. Our captain shared so much history about the area, making the scenery that much more interesting.
