Pros: Very close to the whales, nice quiet captain (I hate cheesy guides with corny jokes), other wildlife Cons: Tour for six, but only seats five Recommend: Yes, very much. Tips: Be one of the first on the boat so you can grab a seat. FISHES made us realize that we were correct in bashing Harv and Marv because our... More

My husband and I decided to go with FISHES after reading reviews on TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed! While the people who signed up to go whale watching with the Celebrity ship we were on went on large boats that held many people, we went on a very well equipped, smaller boat with Floyd and four other people! We... More

If you ever find yourself in Hoonah or Icy Strait Point spend a wonderful three hours with Floyd Peterson. This is not a trip you can book from your cruise ship but it is ten times better Thank you Floyd for an amazing experience We add our voices to the others on Tripadvisor in thoroughly recommending this trip

Icy Strait Point is definitely a great place for whale watching and F.I.S.H.E.S. was a great choice for a charter. Floyd has a lot of experience and knows how to find the whales and sea lions. We had a wonderful time and saw 6 different whale breaches! Thanks to Floyd and Marjorie for helping provide such a memorable experience! If... More

Our trip out with Floyd was a highlight of our Alaska vacation. The day was drizzly, but the whales were definitely out to give us a big show with their bubblenet feeding. Floyd has a hydrophone on this boat. The whales start to chatter before they come up to bubblenet feed. Floyd was great at spotting where the whales would... More

We recently just completed the 1/2 day trip with Floyd. The tour was well organized and we were picked up exactly as they described upon tendering in from the ship. We were able to see our first humpback right in the boat harbour so it seemed that we were off to a good start. Unfortunately the other humpbacks we saw... More

We booked an afternoon whale watch. Floyd's wife gave us exact directions. We took a tender to shore and walked beyond the buildings and to the right and out beyond the security gate, past the buses, to a pulloff area where the tour vans pick up independant travelers. She was in her van and there early. It was my husband,... More

Floyd is the man. We booked a whale watching tour and found out about Floyd and F.I.S.H.E.S. on the internet. We met the car with Floyd at the exact place the instructions said to meet him. We collected another small family and went off to Hoonah harbor and met his wife and we boarded the boat. All six of us... More

Arriving my Cruise ship. We are first on the tender. Ride ashore is only 5/10 minutes long. We are met by Floyd of FISHES and we head off through Hoonah to the docks. We are 5 passengers in total. His boat can only seat 5 inside. We head off out and immediately see a humpback whale. This may be the... More
