2 Hour Guided Boat Tour in Gig Harbor and Narrows Bridges
Description
This is our most popular tour that brings in all the best sights and sensations of life on Puget Sound. This is an interactive tour! Our guides and crew have the top experience and perspective in the area and we love to share it! We take-in the beauty of our quaint "Maritime City" then go boldly out onto the open waters of the Tacoma Narrows to gather views from under our two major suspension bridges. We see wildlife like Bald Eagles, Great Blue Heron, seals and cute little seabirds. Our ex-US Navy boat has a smooth comfortable ride. Safety is our first priority. Our boats and captains are certified and licensed by the US Coast Guard. This is a fun, quality trip to remember! (Senior Age is 62.)

Itinerary
Marvel like millions have a the quaint design, character and heritage of our historic homeport village.
We challenge the racing tidal currents to view the iconic structures where the first bridge of three collapsed in a wind storm only 4 months after it opened!
Observe the stunning, pristine beauty of beaches where the trees in the park's old-growth forest have never been cut down all the way back to native times. Our park is the 4th. largest municipal park in the United States.
Cruise along the historic Salmon Beach community on stilts we call pilings. We see how residents have to climb stairs up a cliff to go about their daily activities. See a mermaid sculpture, a totem pole and 80 some eclectic home-built homes.

We spent a wonderful 2 hours learning a great deal about Gig Harbor, Galloping Gertie, and all of the wildlife…eagles, harbor seals, etc. Great stories! We will be back and will recommend the tour to others!
This was a great way to see Gig Harbor and learn of its history. Our boat guide, Ethan, was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and careful as was the young woman who piloted the boat. The seating was comfortable and we were fortunate to have seen a couple of bald eagles and lots of harbor seals. The day was beautiful and sunny and sitting under the little canopy offered some shade. This is a great activity for families, we had our son and wife and 5 year old boy. Everyone enjoyed it.
Great trip to take to learn a little bit about the Gig Harbor area and enjoy the water! There’s a surprising amount of wildlife and history on this trip.
Great boat tour with a very friendly staff. 2 hours is just the right amount of time. Captain and crew wet very kind and attentive.
The captain was knowledgeable about the area and shared a lot of history which was nice. When we got close to eagles we slowed down so people could see and enjoy watching them. It was really nice, I’ll take out of town guests on this again.
Thank you Tomie! See you again with your friends!
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Gig Harbor and the surrounding areas. Our guide was the best!

Fantastic boat tour with amazing captain and first mate! It was informative and fun! We learned so much about the harbor and the bridge is, and we even saw lots of wildlife!
Thank you Michelle! We love the wildlife!
Excellent harbor tour with captain Ethan. His knowledge of the local history mixed with local folklore was so interesting. We saw many harbor seals and bald eagles. I highly recommend this 2 hour excursion
Thank you for your review!
Great captain. Very informative and beautiful views and wildlife to see.
Thank you for the review Chuck!
Captain Ethan was thoughtful, professional, and Eagle-eyed. In addition to his informative group narrations, he went to each of us individually to ensure that we were doing well and answer all our questions. He was aware of group dynamics and proactively made sure people gave each other enough space and children were able to see.
Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review!
