Paul is a first class Alaskan guide. He loves what he is doing and is determined to make certain you fall in love with his native state. He gets as excited as his guests when spotting a whale, sea otter, eagle, sea lion or star fish...All of which we saw on our trip. Because he limits the number of guests,... More

Paul is extremely passionate about his work. Wonderful man that we had the pleasure of spending a few hours with while in Sitka. From the first email to the day we meet him everything went smoothly. A first class operation and worth your time. We were able to see whales, sea lions, sea otters and all sort of birds. He... More

A-MA-Zing! I have lived in Sitka for over two years and took this excursion with my family, who was visiting Alaska for the first time. I had just taken a whale watching tour with them in Juneau, so I was interested in showing them more wild life here where I live. I literally cannot say enough about the wonderful experience... More

We have been to Alaska three times, and this was by far the highlight of all three trips. We were just a few feet away from humpback and grey wales, mama otters with their babies, birds, sea creatures, volcanic caves and spectacular scenery. Paul was just as fascinating as the land he was showing off; his knowledge of Alaska is... More

We went to Sitka and took a boat tour with Gallant Adventures. It was just the two of us and Paul Gallant. He is very knowledgeable about the area, and clearly loves it. We saw whales and otters, eagles, and various other birds. It was great fun, and a beautiful area to have a chance to look at up close.... More

Even though the drizzle made it difficult to spot whales, Paul made sure we saw our share, including other sorts of Sitka willdlife. We found rafts of otters, eagles, and more. He took us to his favorite scenic spots for us to enjoy. His love for Alaska is evident, and our trip with Gallant Advantures was the highlight of our... More

What an amazing time we had. Paul was incredible. His passion and excitement about the area and it's wildlife is contagious. He was so skilled in maneuvering the boat so we could really get up close and personal to all the amazing wildlife. We were having a hard time finding whales but he extended the excursion and we finally got... More

OMG, what can I say, Paul was fabulous. We hired him based on the other reviews we read and we were not disappointed. Although Paul can not control the animals, we did manage to see hump back whales, sea otters, seals, puffins and a rare red throated loon. His information of Sitka and the animals made the trip informative and... More

So happy that we found Paul rather than one of the cruise ship's excursions. We saw a humpback while bubble-netting up close. It was amazing, the children still talk about it. Paul has a great personality, very energetic and interactive with the kids. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Alaska.
