Totally brilliant awesome experience. The crew, Phillipe, Ron, Randy and Natasha were so nice, thoughtful and very caring to all our needs. The skill the crew showed maneuvering equipment and heavy machine in some very challenging landing ramps was very impressive. The scenery was fantastic and we were fortunate to have sunny weather but for one rainy afternoon. To be able to go to such remote places was very special. Janet was incredible with the producing amazing meals, the food was so good. Tanya was 5 star hostess, so kind and always a big smile and great morning trivia quiz.

Can’t praise our Discovery tour enough! The crew was accommodating, generous with their time and a lot of fun to hang out with. Our fellow passengers were delightful, the food was amazing, the stateroom comfortable and the scenery incomparable. Sorry we didn’t see grizzlies but we saw eagles, orcas, porpoises, dolphins and sea lions so we can’t complain. I waited 30 years to take the trip. Just waiting for a chance to do the other itinerary.

Marine Link Tours staff, boat and accommodations are fabulous! This is our second time and we plan to go again. The food and wine is 5 star. We would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a relaxing, first rate holiday.

July 2 to 7 2024 Twelve strangers arrived at the departure point and returned as friends. Spectacular trip phenomenal service and fabulous food. You need to be able to climb steep stairs. No elevators. There are no mobility aids. Being able to walk is a necessity. Stunning scenery and tranquility, the Aurora is very quiet and stable. Hardly feels like being aboard a boat.

The most wonderful experience. 6 days of absolute bliss. Captain Ron & his crew were amazing & treated us royally & were so knowledgeable. Can’t say enough about the crew. Enjoyed them all. Always great interaction with all of us. Nothing was missed. The meals were exquisite. Thanks Janet. I am still in awe of all that you & Paige prepared & served. We saw humpbacks, orcas, dolphins. Swam at 3 beaches & had amazing beautiful clear, sunny hot days. A spectacular mtn around every corner with even a glimpse of Mt Waddington. So missing everyone & soooo much fun. Jan & Bill B. Ps…we did gain weight but so worth it.
