This is a great way to experience the Alaskan sea, and its wildlife. They offer different tours packages and we took the one that stops at Fox island for lunch (included in the tour). We were lucky as we spotted all wild sea life, including Orca, Puffins, Dolphins. Great day! More

If you want to see glaciers in Kenai Fjords parks, please don't use this company. Even though I asked glaciers tours, they never told me even a word that I might not be able to see glaciers due to the weather when I checked in. Although I understand that the route can be changed because of weather, at least they... More

Perhaps April is not the best time to take a whale tour in Seward, but it was the only time we had. We saw bald eagles, seals, sea lions, but almost got skunked on the whales. We finally saw one - just one - grey whale off in the distance. Wish we'd seen more, but again, the time is a... More

We went in gray whale watching tour for 4 hours. It takes 1 hour to get to the opening of resurrection bay by explorer (boat we went) , should add glaciers as part of the tour in spring, most of the surrounding places are closed. It costs less than 20 bucks for whale watching in San Diego CA. More

Amazing scenery...sky blue glacier ice, emerald green fjords, snow-capped mountain peaks, sheer granite outcroppings... Amazing wildlife...humpback whales, sea otters, sea lions, Harbor seals, bald eagles, puffins, cormorants & many other sea birds. Well worth the time and expense...one of the most amazing experiences of my life! More

This is a great trip. The Beehive island with thousands of Puffins, Murres, & Cormorants. Up close and personal with the calving glaciers, and if you are fortunate you have a close view of Orcas, Humpback whales, Pilot whales, Dall's Porpoise, also mountains, & forests. Expect rain, wind, fog, and some seas...this is the Gulf of Alaska and it's a... More

After reading the review, I decided to join this tour while visiting Alaska for 2 weeks eventhough I was kinda worried if my 3 years old daughter can stand for 9 hours trip. Yet, it worked out well . It was the best decision ever and we were glad we did it. The trip exceeded my expectation. We saw glaciers,... More

My wife and I took a tour of this beautiful park out of Seward and had a fantastic time. They say timing is everything and luck plays a big role in what you will or will not see. We had a lucky day! First animals we came across were a pair of sea otters floating on their backs and taking... More

If there is one single tour you can do in Alaska to capture everything the Alaskan coastline has to offer this is it. The tours include seeing tidewater glaciers up close, amazing rocky scenery, and tons of wildlife. The boats are small enough that you can get right up to the rocky shoreline, and can feels the effects of waves... More

We had a perfect day in Alaska for our boat tour out to the glacier. Although it was chilly and windy, a good windbreaker, hat and gloves made for a great day to be on deck. We were very fortunate in spotting many whales (including a pod of orcas that came very close to our boat! What a treat that... More
