A little early in the season, we took the long cruise (6h) on the 13th of May. Had a wonderful time, got lucky with the wildlife (whales, whale sharks, sealions, seals, otters, eagles, calving glacier)! Good service, acceptable food (plenty if it :-). It's worth the money and the drive to Steward!

Late April is a little before the main tourism season starts in Alaska and Major Marine has the only whale watching tour going out on a Sunday. We waited until the morning of the trip to sign up and there was plenty of space. I'm not sure if that would be the case in the summer. The tour office was... More

I work in the travel industry and I have used both Major Marines and Kenai Fjords tours for the Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise. I whole heartedly enjoy the Major Marines Tours much better than the competition because of their customer service. The tour is the same and the boats are similar however when it comes to getting a deal... More

I saw things with my own eyes that I thought I would only see on TV. Whales, puffins & "Alaskan penguins" to name a few. On top of that, a school of porpoises started playing in the wake of the boat! The pace was just right. We spent plenty of time viewing both wildlife and the large, calving glacier. We... More

We very much enjoyed the afternoon spent on this cruise. We saw many, many hump back whales, orcas, puffins, dolphins and eagles. Beautiful scenery and glaciers.

Their cruise is wonderful. They have a National Park Ranger who explains the rock formations and wildlife. We saw many birds, puffins, eagles, kitti wakes, hump back whales, orcas, otters, mountain goats, glaciers and beautiful mountains. Well worth it.

Blackstone Glacier Cruise in August 2012: Wonderful trip. We were blessed with a gorgeous cloudless day…but the seas were rough for a portion of the trip. Staff was wonderful. The Ranger on board set my kids up with Junior Ranger books so they could earn their Junior Ranger badges as we sailed. Buffet lunch was very good, and the glacier... More

I took the Glacier Express tour in early Sept 2012 as this was the longest trip still running. The boat is well setout with plenty of vantage points to get "that pic". The boat was fairly full but I didnt have any problems getting access to the rail as everyone was happy to have their turn then give others a... More

I was so apprehensive to go on a tour after hearing the nightmares others encountered from other tours...this one is amazing!! We had an assigned seat and never had a problem with someone taking our seats. They have a forest ranger as a guide and he was very knowledgeable. The food was great and we could even buy a drink...
