He is passionate and knowledgeable about the wildlife in the water, on land, and in the air. Each excursion is fun, informational, educational, and filled with incredible sightings of the amazing wildlife and nature in and around Sitka. He makes a conscious effort to be respectful of the whales and minimize stressors on the wildlife and the ecosystem, which is extremely important to me. I have been on two, two-day whale watching excursions with Neil. I would never consider using anyone else. The value and experience for the money is beyond worth it. The cost is no question for the countless incredible memories and once-in-a-lifetime encounters. I would strongly recommend A Whale's Song Expeditions ten out of ten times. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!Thank you, Neil, for another breathtaking experience!! read less

We took the morning photo tour and saw nearly 20 whales, 30 Puffins and 15 otters. Seeing all of this sea life totally exceeded expectations. It was raining throughout the trip, however Captain Neil kept moving the boat around to place us in beautiful rain free skies. My son filled a 128G card and I took over 500 photos. My favorite was the Puffins. Much smaller in person and completely unique. We would definitely recommend this tour to any sightseer or photographer. read less

It's a great wilderness adventure when you see breaching whales, a raft of sea otters (as in 20+), puffins, and more. It becomes a phenomenal tour when the captain and guide of the boat is enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable, caring, and safety conscious.

It becomes a phenomenal tour when the captain and guide of the boat is enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable, caring, and safety conscious. Finally, when you add this being a small group tour with personalized service, the trip jumps into the "Best Ever" category.As a former international adventure travel outfitter and guide, I have been a part of and witnessed hundreds of outdoor adventure journeys. They don't get any better than this trip, with Neil and his team taking great care of the people on his boat and the environment in which he travels. My daughters and I thank you for an unforgettably fantastic voyage. read less

He has a great bedside manner and sense of humor. He was laid back but worked hard to make sure we were comfortable and taught us so much about the area and, of course, the wildlife. We saw so many birds, otters and humpback whales. He even took care to make sure the boat stayed relatively stable since I told him Im prone to seasickness. I always get sick, but not this time! We really could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Neil! read less

Neil was such a polite and knowledgeable guide. He knew exactly where to go to see everything. We saw whales, puffins, otters, seals and sea lions. We also were able to see 6 whales breach out of water which was by far the highlight of our trip! We would absolutely recommend this tour. It was a wonderful experience. Very family friendly! My 5 year old loved it!! read less
