We joined this Exceptional & Fantastic! tour during our Alaska Inside Passage Cruise with Princess. Exceptionally run, and packed full of fun, and information. Worth the price and more! Our family enjoy watching the Discovery Channel "Deadliest Catch" program, so this tour caught my eye. My children were reluctant to go, as they became sea sick on a whale watching... more

Oh my goodness...what a wonderful excursion!! My husband & I are thrilled we had a 2nd chance to pick this up on our roundtrip aboard HAL's Zaandam. The crew of the Aluetian Ballad are fun, informative and so obviously in love with what they are doing. Please be sure to give this a try...its the best excursion we did in... more

My husband and I were in Alaska back in May. We took the very first cruise of the season with Carnival...the weather was cold and rainy and we were sure we would not enjoy being on an "open" boat in that kind of weather, but boy were we wrong. This was the best excursion ever. The crew, Kiwi and Terry,... more

Going on the Allutian Ballad was the best land tour I took during my 12 day cruise/land tour of Alaska. It was more inspiring and emotional than flying around Mt McKinley and landing on a glacier or riding the 1 mile zipline at Icy Strait Point. Everyone on the tour (40 to 60 people) felt it was so much more... more

This was the first port of call on the first cruise that I had ever been on. As a fan of the "Deadliest Catch" I didn't hesitate to sign up for the tour. It was only a short walk from the cruise ship to the dock where the Aleutian Ballad was tied up. The crew was warm and welcoming at... more

One of the highlights of our family (from Grandpa to Grandson) was the Aleutian Ballad in Ketchikan, Alaska. From Captain David, Kiwi and the rest of the crew offering amazing stories and educational input, this tour will not dissapoint. Great personal attention was given to the guests. We all enjoyed the sights, the eagles and the crabbing! This tour will... more

This was the best tour we did in the 12 days I spent in Alaska. We were on a real alaskan crab fishing boat but it was refitted for the comfort of tourist so that we could watch amazing fishing while we were warm and safe. EVERYONE would love this. We were entertained by real fisherman who had the absolute... more

This tour was the highlight of a very entertaining cruise to Alaska. We were met at the pier by Capt. Dave - he was extremely friendly and welcoming....I knew from that point that it would be a great experience. The other crew members were just as friendly, including Dave's wife and daughter. One part of the trip involved feeding a... more
