We had a great day with Don. He is an expert in the park and was able to ensure we saw all the best parts and had wonderful commentary along the way.

Fun experience. Beautiful scenery. Tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Was able to work around less than ideal weather conditions

Really interesting and informative history tour of the beginnings of Seattle and its inhabitants. Richard, especially, was an amazingly entertaining and knowledgeable guide.

Crew was super nice and hospitable, they let everyone participate with the sails if they wanted. Perfect way to end our trip to Seattle!

Interesting, funny, and informative! Oan was full of information and delivered it in an entertaining and witty way. Or group really enjoyed seeing this part of Seattle.

I went on a whale watching tour in Seattle about 26 years ago, and things have certainly changed! The FRS Clipper does everything they can to ensure that you see whales on your trip, and my trip did not disappoint! When you check-in at the pier, you move into a waiting area in the building until boarding time. There is a very nice and very clean restroom for you to use (and while the boat does have four bathrooms, I suggest taking advantage of the one on land). Once we set sail, we were told that there were professional photographers on board to take photos of what we saw so that we could enjoy the experience, and for me, this sounded great! Whatever photo a professional photographer takes is going to be much better than what my amateur self will take on my iPhone. So, my suggestion is to cough of the $30 for the flash drive and enjoy the trip.We stopped at a buoy that had sunbathing sea lions. Unfortunately, they were on the opposite side of the ship from where I was sitting, and I didn't want to rush into the crowd, so I caught some glimpses of them as we pulled away. As we neared the sight where the orcas were supposedly hanging out, I realized that I was in the perfect spot as I was sitting next to the railing that had a prime view of the pod. The pod had two baby orcas, two females, and a transient male. A bald eagle flew about five feet over my head, and I opted to simply enjoy the experience. I was happy to see that the eagle was captured by one of the photographers and included in the flash drive (just the eagle, not if flying over my head :)). We stayed for the allowed time to observe the pod and witnessed a lot of small jumps from the babies.I would be remiss if I didn't mention the beautiful scenery provided by Mount Rainier, the cityscape, and mountains surrounding the islands.We did book the trip through the FRS Clipper website. I chose indoor seats on the second level (and paid for the window seats), but we spent a lot of our time on top of the boat where there was additional, unassigned seating. This is the vantage point I watched the sea lions, eagle, and whales from.Note: The photos included in this review are from the purchased flashdrive.

Had a lot of fun and learned some fun facts about Seattle. Be prepared to do some walking up some hills. Our guide was super knowledgeable and very nice.

The crew were great, very interactive . Fun experience . Nice to have snacks on board too. Very kind crew.

A very professional set up. We got to see Orcas. They spent enough time at each sighting. We were satisfied.

My son and I did the one-hour Harbor tour as an advanced reservation option of our CityPASS on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in May. You will stand in the queue for about 30 minutes before boarding, and no food or drink is allowed onboard. You will see and learn about all the vessels, cranes, and activities in this very active harbor from the live narrator. We thought the best view was on the outside top to the right front—fantastic views of the Seattle Skyline. I recommend fitting this into a pier day.

Went with my 3 year old daughter and we absolutely loved it! 10/10 experience! The snacks and drinks were really affordable.

Such a fun experience to hear the seedy side stories! Our guide was energetic and knowledgeable and kept us entertained the whole time.

The Space Needle is a cool experience that you probably only need to do once. But the Chihuly Museum was AMAZING!!

Even though it was a bit cloudy, we saw such beautiful scenery, animals, and even got to hike a bit. Our tour guide, Lucinda, did a fabulous job of teaching us about the area, history, animals and plants. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Also loved the huckleberry ice cream!

Very enjoyable, the guides were very informative. Parking can be a little difficult during peak season

First off, the tour guide was great, very informative and knowledgeable. She did everything possible to make our trip memorable!!! The sites are amazing, so much to see!!
