This us a grwat tour to see wildlife and a glacier up close. The crew were great and the boat and captain were grwat. Saw some wild life but only one whale. The glacier up close was the highlight. Caution if you get sea sick easy be prepared or you might want to skip.
Plan on a lovely day. The top level of the boat fills up quick. If you are prone to sea sickness, take the bottom level and stay to the back part of the boat.
It was amazing to see the glaciers and the whales. Make sure you wear warm clothes as it was very cold and rainy.
This cruise would likely have been a better experience if the weather was better. Check-in felt chaotic as 100-150 guests were trying to scan their tickets on one side of a narrow room to fill out the waivers, then crossing to the other side of the room to scan their ticket again in order to check-in. Why not one machine for everything? The room was much too small for that many people and a half dozen machines. There is a very spacious gift shop attached to. Perhaps some of that space should be used. Because of the rain, it was difficult to be out on deck while the boat was in motion. My pants quickly got drenched, and I spent the next five hours uncomfortable. As the boat goes around the Cape to exit/enter the bay, it was very rough for about 25 minutes each way. Thank goodness for Dramamine! It is a must. Even with it, I was locked on the horizon for that time period. The crew were great, continuously passing out vomit bags and picking them up once used. A lot of guests were vomiting. I had assumed a lot of the tour would be leisurely cruising to spot wildlife, but I was mistaken. Most of the trip was travel time. We stopped briefly three times to check out some puffins and otters on the water (both very cool), as well as some whales in the distance. The longest stop was about 30 minutes to see a glacier up close. The rest of the 6 hrs was traveling. Lunch was good (chicken burrito), although I was surprised by the choice given the level of sea sickness some tours encounter. The warm cookies at the end of the trip were a nice touch by the staff. My advice would be to not book until you can see the weather forecast. There are multiple companies running tours, including a few small group tours.
It was so interesting and informative Captain Steve Martin was excellent! The crew was so service oriented and polite.
We saw an amazing amount of wild life. Including a whale, seals, sea otters, sea lions and their pups. We got up close to a glacier. Definitely a high light of our trip. Warning- if you have motion sickness, it’s rough in the water!!!! I must praise this company for their amazing customer service! If you are coming from a cruise ship they have a shuttle pick you up, they hold your luggage and they transport it as well. We were taking the train to anchorage and our luggage was there when we got off the train. Amazing.
The crew and Captain were all very nice. We had great weather which also made the trip more enjoyable. We would highly recommend this excursion.
The staff and views were beautiful! Unfortunately due to bad weather we could not safely make it to the glacier, but the captain did sure try! Trying lead to some of us getting sick (which we were told could happen) and the staff did a great job taking care of us. The food was fantastic! It was a great day all in all!
We came on the worst possible weather day!! We still had the MOST amazing time. The crew was genuinely concerned about each passengers’ comfort. Sea sickness was inevitable and the crew were the best caretakers. Captain Steve delivered well spoken, detailed information while putting us on puffins, sea lions, and a breaching humpback that put on an equally impressive show including a backstroke! Our expectations were low given the inclement weather, but this cruise delivered above and beyond!! Thank you for a memorable, TLC experience!
Our Kenai Fjords Glacier & Wildlife Tour from Seward was one of the highlights of our Alaska trip! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with towering glaciers, dramatic cliffs, and crystal-clear waters. Watching the glacier up close and hearing the ice crack and calve into the ocean was an unforgettable experience. We were also lucky to see an amazing variety of wildlife, including whales, sea otters, puffins, sea lions, and bald eagles. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared interesting facts about the wildlife and the history of the area throughout the tour. The boat was comfortable, well-organized, and gave everyone great opportunities to enjoy the incredible views. If you’re visiting Alaska, this tour is a must-do. It’s the perfect combination of stunning scenery, wildlife encounters, and an unforgettable adventure!
