We got to see humpback, fin whales, sea bird nesting areas and had lunch in the bay next to a glacier. And of course the scenery was incredible. It was beautiful, exciting, relaxing, and thoroughly enjoyable! The captain was very knowledgeable about the landmarks abd all the best things to see. Would definitely go again.
