If you want an up close and personal look at the Kenai Fjords then you have to go with Bob. His lovely boat 'Darby' and his even lovelier daughter Alison combine with his excellent knowledge of the area to give you a customised trip which is unique out of Seward. My husband and I spent only one night on the... More

One of Captain Bob Barnwell’s charms is that he will adapt to your preferences. He caters to specific interests and will certainly guide you to the coolest spots. He’s easy going and kinda goofy. Up-close iceberg viewing or fishing spots or waterfalls or good stretch-you-legs beaches, he knew how to get us there. His daughter Alison (deckhand) is capable and... More

Bob and Alison exceeded our expectations and constantly pampered us during this exceptional experience. This was a trip of a life-time for our group which consisted of 2 grandparents and 3 grandkids (12, 12 & 10). We saw Orcas, Humpback... More

Thanks for the review! That really was great fun with your family. Exploring coastal Alaska with you and your husband, and your three grandchildren was a blast. I'll never forget watching them catch that salmon from the dinghy on their own as we watched from the kayaks. That was a magical night. Bob More

Our trip with Bob and Allison of Alaska Fjord Charters was the highlight of our tour through Alaska. We, a family of four, with children aged 11 and 7, had visited Juneau, Valdez, Anchorage and Denali before arriving in Seward and boarding on the Darby. And we had seen some amazing stuff up until then. But we were lucky to... More

Thanks for the review to our favorite Dutch family! That is such a great whale photo taken from three days of constant whales. The whales were everywhere on that trip, and the weather was perfect. Good memories. Bob More
