The trip was fantastic! Our tour saw plenty of wildlife, including seals, a Dall's porpoise, and even a whale! The glacier portion of the tour was especially memorable—being that close to a glacier is an experience I’ll never forget. Although it was early September, the guide and crew went above and beyond to spot as much wildlife as possible. Their efforts made the experience truly unforgettable. Six hours was the perfect amount of time on the water too. A few passengers got seasick when the waters became choppy, so I highly recommend taking Bonine or another seasickness remedy about an hour before departure. Overall, it was a great tour and excellent value. If I ever return to Seward, I’d definitely choose this cruise again!

Our recent 6-hour cruise to Kenai Fjord was nothing short of spectacular. From the breathtaking views of towering glaciers to the diverse wildlife, every moment was awe-inspiring. We were lucky enough to spot whales, sea otters, puffins, and even a few seals! The staff onboard were knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the fjord's history and ecosystem. The cruise was well-paced, allowing us plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take photos. This was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to connect with the raw beauty of nature.
