We loved everything about our trip. The scenery was beautiful. We loved seeing otters, seals, bears, eagle, jumping salmon and especially the dolphins. The food was to-die-for - Meg made the most delicious meals. Our guides Tori and Gabby - made every hike educational on top of being an adventure. Dean shared so much information. Most importantly - we were traveling with family ranging in ages 14-77. Every one of us felt the adventure was tailored to us - and the special attention they gave our teen - from Meg in the kitchen, to Dean teaching her to drive the boat - to Tori and Gabby pointing out all the cool things on our hikes and kayaks - lead to a magical experience. We would could not recommend this adventure enough.

Attention to detail and being very nice people as well

This was truly a trip of a lifetime. We were very happy with Captain Dean’s skill and knowledge of Prince William Sound and Meg’s world-class cooking. The quality of the food was extraordinary and we were always looking forward to the next meal. The boat is very comfortable, clean, an easy place to call home while we were aboard. The activities were well-selected. We had some rainy days but thanks to the quality rain gear provided, we were able to thoroughly enjoy every beautiful hike. This place is beautiful rain or shine. Kayaking at the base of the glacier was spectacular. We want to thank Dean, Meg and the rest of the crew for this unforgettable trip.

The discovery is an excellent, unique way to explore the Prince William Sound! From cruising around to hiking/walking to kayaking, we were able to see the Sound from a variety of perspectives. Captain Dean has a ton of knowledge of and experience with the Sound and is always happy to share. Meg is a great cook. Captain Dean, Meg, and the crew were all very welcoming, well informed, and made the experience special. I would highly recommend!

Discovery is the only way to see and experience the treasure of Prince William Sound. Captains Dean and Megan are exceptional in sharing their vessel's comfort, safety, delicious food and environmental awareness. Their role is vital in informing guests of how vital it is to preserve the land, water and its creatures.

Wonderful experience! The crew's service was over the top! We experienced beautiful glaciers, saw lots of wildlife, hiked and kayaked. The food was excellent. I would definitely recommend and would like to go again!

We had a fantastic time on Discovery Voyages. The captain is very knowledgable and made sure to take us to see local wildlife and excellent hiking opportunities even when the weather did not cooperate. Sea kayaking to a glacier was a highlight of our trip. The crew were excellent and all three meals each day were superb.

Late May 2024 we took our second trip on the Discovery and were thrilled again. This time it was spending more than an hour watching humpback whales “bubble feeding” and daily sightings of black bear grazing near the water. Prince William Sound was teeming with wild life on land and in the water. We kayaked and hiked most days despite cold and rain. In July 2016 the outstanding weather — meant less wildlife but more kayaking and hiking. Both trips inspired me to want to do it all over again. Going on the Discovery is like joining old friends in their home. Dean and Megan know the area well, answer questions, spot wildlife and seem as excited as the passengers. Dean’s knowledge of human, geological and natural history of the area is amazing. This trip featured the addition of crew member Hugh Rose whose knowledge of Alaska, whale migration and the impact of government policies on the region gave us a greater understanding of Alaska. Megan is a gourmet cook who specializes in fresh local seafood dishes. Every meal was among the best I’ve ever had. They make a rustic trip with shared restrooms and tiny cabins feel like a luxury experience. If you’re looking for a five star hotel and spa this is not for you, but if you’re looking to be out in the wilds while being pampered this is your trip!
