No trip to Alaska's Glacier Bay is complete without an excursion out on the water to witness whales, sea lions, otters, porpoises, puffins, and bald eagles living and playing on the sound. The Taz, a 45-foot high-speed passenger ship, is the perfect way to see these northern creatures in relative comfort—it has a heated interior, restroom, viewing deck, and seating and is large enough for a stable ride but small enough to allow much closer viewing than a cruise ship. The boat's stability makes it perfect for taking stunning photographs even if you aren't a pro.

Watch whales jump into the air from your convenient vantage point while learning about the wildlife from the tour guide and ship captain on this 3.5-hour tour. The ship also features a hydrophone system that allows passengers to hear the whales communicating. The tour includes use of binoculars, snacks, and hot drinks to keep you warm.
