Fantastic Tour of the Kenai Fjords National Park - We took the Northwesterner Tour and absolutely loved it! Capt. Chris and his team (Sara, Bobbie, and Casey - I hope I got the spelling right on these) were super all day long. They were courteous and attentive. The narrative was good, but the views and the wildlife we saw was superb!

- Breathtaking Experience with Kenai Fjords Tours!
Our tour to the Northwestern Glacier with Kenai Fjords Tours was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, educational, and full of once-in-a-lifetime moments.
We saw an incredible variety of wildlife—whales, sea lions, seals, puffins, and so many other birds. The highlight was definitely watching the glacier calve right into the ocean—an awe-inspiring and powerful sight we'll never forget.
The captain was fantastic—engaging, knowledgeable, and full of fascinating information that made everything we were seeing even more meaningful. You could tell they love what they do and genuinely care about the environment and the experience of every passenger on board.
If you're heading to Alaska, this tour is an absolute must. Kenai Fjords Tours delivers an amazing blend of natural beauty, adventure, and top-notch hospitality.

10 stars 🌟 - The tour was great; higly recommend. The Captain was very knowledgeable and extremely entertaining. He found a pod of Orcas, bald eagles, sea otters and sea lions. We were lucky and even git to see one humpback whale. Sadly he had no control over the weather. Rough seas but they did their best. My wife and I even considered going again.

Full Day Northwestern Glacier & WildLife Tour - Excellent! - Our full-day Northwestern Glacier & wildlife tour was phenomenal—an unforgettable finale to our Alaska adventure. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, slowing down at just the right moments so we could fully appreciate the wildlife and witness the awe-inspiring glacier calving. His insight into whale feeding patterns and comparisons of glacier positions from 1996 added depth to the experience.
The onboard staff was fantastic, actively helping spot wildlife and ensuring passengers were comfortable throughout the day. Meals were served in an organized and timely manner, which made everything run smoothly.
The viewing opportunities were excellent from every angle—whether at the bow, stern, or sides of the boat, you were guaranteed stunning sights.

Best experience in my two weeks in Alaska! - More than worth the money!
Great crew, wonderful captain, unbelievable views.
The captain knows so much about the geology and history of the glaciers and the animals and Alaska. Wonderful and informative.
Make sure you bring a variety of layered clothing. At one point, I was in a T-shirt and at another point, I had a wool hat and jacket on.

Breathtaking Beauty, Exhilarating Experience - We enjoyed our Northwestern Fjord tour exceedingly on June 29, 2025. The ship was clean and the seating inside was comfortable. Our 3 staff members, Gail, Jensen, and Logan, were friendly, helpful, and courteous. They were efficient in serving snacks and meals and in cleaning up afterwards. Very accommodating in taking photos of people! Captain Mark is amazing! With his mellifluous voice, vast knowledge of the marine life in the Kenai Fjords area, and his excellent piloting skills, we felt at ease and relaxed, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy the 8 hour voyage. It is definitely an expensive excursion, and it would be nice if there was a discount for seniors or a seasonal discount. However , the experience is definitely memorable and for some, a once- in- a-lifetime highlight! Thank you, Jensen, Gail, Logan, and Captain Mark!

Great cruise - Excellent day on the water. Many stops to check out wildlife, whales, seals, sea lions, many birds. The glacier was awesome, got to spend time there and watch calving. Light breakfast and a lunch served. Cookies at the end of the voyage. They sell drinks and snacks as well. If you are having soda/coffee/tea they offer a refillable cup that's a good deal. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable
