Amazing cruise - Spotless boat with very kind and professional crew. Saw whales, dolphins, eagles, puffins, sea lions, seals and tons of other stuff. Scenery including the glaciers was stunning. Can’t wait to do it again.

A must do in Seward - Was my favorite excursion of my trip to Alaska. Captain and crew were exceptional and saw so much wildlife, even a whale breached for us.

Spectacular day on the water! - Got lucky with a beautiful blue sky day! Taking motion sickness preventative measures was extremely helpful; many who ignored the captain's repeated warnings regretted it.
We saw sea otters, whales, muffins, seals, sea lions, jelly fish and endless stunning views. The crew was amazing and we had the best time!

Great family trip! - GREAT experience! The boat was very comfortable. Plenty of great outdoor seating and also indoor seating out of the elements. Saw it all - orka, humpback whales, porpoise, sea lions, glaciers, glacier chucks falling, all kinds of birds including a bald eagle. The staff was awesome - great service, great info on what we were seeing. Food was good, too. Just a great overall nature experience.

Great trip! - This was a super great outing!! We enjoyed seeing all the wildlife including a few humpback whales!! It was cool to see the glacier too.
The captain, Clint, was very knowledgeable and gave some cool info throughout the tour. If he gets tired of being a captain he could 100% be a Nat Geo host lol.
Anyhow, great experience overall!

This is an absolute MUST DO in Seward! Humpbacks, orcas, puffins, icebergs, calving glacier! - This was something on my bucket list while in Alaska. I researched many different tour companies and tours and chose the 6 hour wildlife/glacier tour and was so impressed! I loved that we had an almost all female crew, Captain Laura and her crew were amazing. We saw humpback whales feeding, several pods of orcas, harbor seals, horned puffin, tufted puffin, Aialik Glacier (Tidewater glacier) calving when we just arrived. These were all things on my bucket list and I know are not guaranteed on any tour but man, we lucked out! We had assigned seating in nice roomy booths with tables inside, although we didn't spend much time there- many people brought games and food to enjoy on their own. They did provide a nice deli style lunch (large sandwich, chips, drink). We checked out all of the different areas for outdoor seating- some covered, some partially covered, some uncovered- all were great! Dress warm with lots of layers- I used them all (warm pants, puffer coat, rain coat (for wind), hat, gloves). This allowed us to be outside for much of the time. But when indoors it was warm and layers came off. As well as when we returned back to Seward- I was glad to have a backpack to stash the layers when done. I also wore a scopolmine patch- put on a day before- just as a prevention. I highly recommend this trip! It was truly one of the best days of my trip!
