What People Are Saying
“We went on a seal tour and it was fantastic. Captain Rob Wissmann was super knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. He took time to slow or stop around numerous points of interest and explained quite a bit about the surrounding towns and area history. He was incredibly friendly and great with the kids. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anybody that enjoys being on the water and seeing the local wildlife. My kids were asking of we could go back immediately after getting in the car which is always a good sign.”

“Had an amazing time. It was perfect for our family of 9, including 3 little ones. We got super close to the seals and saw a lot of beautiful homes. Captain Rob was very knowledgeable and friendly. Worth the money for a private tour, we’d do it again in a heartbeat!”
