lovely crew especially shout out to the 2 ladies. as a solo traveller I felt just as welcome by them. I do wish the Captain or Guide gave us more information about the wildlife / ecology / geology of Queen Charlotte sound instead of just how expensive the housing by the water was. Seafood was delicious.

With beautiful wine, food and beauty, I visited the salmon farm and the mussel farm suspended in the middle of the sea, and fed the fish from the protected area. There were plenty of activities. Will definitely go back again if there is a chance.

The voyage is very stable and the scenery along the way is beautiful. The focus is that mussels, clams, and salmon are all delicious, super recommended.

Review for: Seafood Odyssea Cruise

The fjord has a beautiful view, the captain and his assistants are experienced, and the boat is not so sick, let us enjoy the beauty and enjoy the fresh mussels, clams and salmon. Along the way, the ecological environment on both sides of the Queen's Fjord is also introduced in detail. It is really a pleasant little group to go out to sea for a gourmet experience!

Review for: Seafood Odyssea Cruise

A perfect event, the round location is easy to find, the boat is very comfortable, the captain explained along the way, very interesting. The green mouth shells are very delicious and the quantity is very good. Salmon is first class! We also saw that the seal caught the fish in the water and was very satisfied!

Really friendly service, you feel part of the family. They altered the tour slightly so we could take advantage of seeing a huge pod of Dolphins in the sound, which turned out to be a fantastic experience. The tour was informative and the food cooked on board plentiful and delicious!
