We hired Coldwater for a full day private charter for our elopement in July 2022. We truly could not have asked for a better day or captain (Captain John - the whale whisperer!) We knew it would be beautiful as we had used Coldwater's water taxi services for a backpacking trip earlier in the year, however this day was seriously miles beyond our wildest expectations.

We had no idea we were also getting an amazing wildlife tour with our elopement! Captain John took us by an island full of sea lions, we spotted an adorable group of puffins and incredibly enough even got some amazing photos of a whale!

For our ceremony he took us to a beautiful, secluded waterfall that flows right off the mountain onto the beach. Afterwards we were dropped off at Kayak Beach to hike Grace Ridge, which is an beautiful hike and a super fun backpacking spot!

All in all, we truly could not have asked for a better experience. Any time we need a boat in Homer we will exclusively use Coldwater - every single person I have worked with there has been nothing short of amazing. Plus, from what it looks like they have the best boats too! We had five adults, an infant (10 months), our dog and a small amount of bins/gear and had plenty of room to all comfortably sit inside.

Thank you so much for making our elopement the most...

Our family went on the wildlife tour with Coldwater Alaska. We got to go on the tour with Captain John & Justin on the North Cape… it was AMAZING! Both John and Justin have the best attitudes/energy and created such a fun atmosphere for our family! We literally got what felt like a 10 minute private show from two beautiful humpback whales of them breaching, slapping their pectoral fins, flukes, and the energy was off the charts. Our little one swore they were waving to her. Both of our children had so much fun that it made the entire experience so special. Along with the humpbacks we got to see a minke whale, puffins, otters, and so many unique birds! Captain John and Justin were both very knowledgeable about the wildlife, surrounding area, and the environment- you can tell that they take their job seriously and love what they are doing. We have been on several other wild life tours throughout Alaska and none of them have been as great as our time with John and Justin on the North Cape! Not to mention they have the coolest boat we have ever been on. We 100% recommend Coldwater AK and be sure to ask for Captain John/Justin because they make the tour so magical and unforgettable! Thanks again gents, and can’t wait...
