We took the 6 hour tour and it lived up to the great reviews. This company knows how to treat the customer and show they care. Captain Laura was terrific with her commentary and knowledge. She also knows how to find and track the wildlife for viewing. Kudos for her greeting each passenger coming aboard the boat. Her crew were equally friendly and helpful. You can read about which animals are sighted, but it’s these customer-aware intangibles that make this excursion outstanding!
The staff were great, absolutely loved the experience! Would love to go again and bring family to experience this.
Awesome tour on the water! We spotted sea otters, seals, puffins, humpback whales and more. The glaciers and surrounding landscapes were amazing. They gave us adequate time to soak in everything.
Great experience! Very friendly and helpful staff! Got to see both kinds of puffins, bald eagles, sea lions, see otters, humpback whales and much more! Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone
We had a very knowledgeable crew. WE were able to see all kinds of wildlife.
Highly recommend this excursion! We had a beautiful, sunny day and were able to see 3 different types of whales, puffins, harbor seals, otters, bald eagles, and the glacier was the highlight. Crew were friendly and did a wonderful job narrating throughout the trip. Don’t miss this if you are in Seward!
So worth it! The weather was beautiful, the captain was very good and found a lot of wildlife. We saw such a variety of wildlife on our 6-hour tour.
Excellent saw all kinds of wildlife only drawback was the weather which is uncontrollable! Have fun!
We had a great time on the tour! Excellent customer service, views, and wildlife sighting, and local facts. The crew and captain were fabulous! Dress warmer than you think and make sure to take some anti nausea before the trip.
The crew is excellent. They are very attentive, knowledgeable, and courteous. This is a great cruise to see both wildlife and a glacier up close.
