Our boat tour was on the Skana on 6/22/23 for 6 hours. We enjoyed the entire tour! The crew was awesome, helpful & very kind ( I got a little green towards the end of the tour, the crew got me ginger ale and ginger chews which worked great ). We saw some orcas, seals, sea lions & the humps & tails of humpback whales. I would definitely do this tour again!!

The Tour was just amazing! We had a lot of luck with the weather and we were able so see orcas, humpback whales and finn wales on the same day. It was just awesome and the Crew made a perfect job with explaining and showing us all the beautiful places in Kenai National Park.

This is probably the best tour I have ever taken. The catamaran was clean and we were assigned to a table. We didn’t stay at the table, though. We went out on the decks to view the amazing wildlife we encountered and returned to the table for eating lunch (provided by the tour company) and charging our phones. We did this tour after disembarking from our cruise. A shuttle took us from the terminal to the Harbor 360 Hotel where we checked in for the tour and checked our luggage. The hotel got our luggage to the 6:00 PM train to Anchorage so we didn’t have to worry with it while we toured Seward. We lucked out with a gorgeous day and saw Humpback, Orca, Fin Whales, Dall’s Porpoise, sea otters, seals, eagles, puffins, and sea lions! The captain was informative and funny. The lunch was good and coffee was provided. If I get back to Seward, I would take this tour again. It was amazing.
