See the Chugach Range from the air as your helicopter flight takes you over snow capped mountain peaks and braided river valleys to land on over 300 feet of glacial ice thousands of years old! Experience majestic blue pools, stunning, swirling moulins, deep crevasses and dramatic ice formations that continue to fascinate and attract the explorer in all of us when you step foot and trek around the surface of the Knik Glacier. The mighty Knik, one of the largest glaciers left in Southcentral Alaska, is 26 miles in length and 6 miles across at its toe and is just one of several glaciers in the ancient river valley. In addition to spotting wildlife from the air (moose, dall sheep, spawning salmon, and bears), you’ll have an eagle’s eye view of towering waterfalls, glacial iceberg-filled lakes, and the untouched wilderness of the Alaska backcountry. Enjoy a once in a lifetime Glacier Plunge in the summer months at no additional cost! Approx. 40 mins flight time w/ 45 mins on glacier.

Whale Watching Adventure in Juneau

This tour takes you over spectacular scenery and makes three landings—one alpine, one on an ice wall, and one in the middle of Knik Glacier—where you can get out and explore with your guide. You also have the possibility of seeing mountain goats, Dall sheep, moose, and, in the summer months, bears and wolves. Note: in winter, the helicopter lands next to the glacier.

Fabulous Cruise! You won’t regret this one!

Such a great experience! Our Captain and guide, Serena, was amazing! She kept it entertaining and went out of her way to find as many sea animals as possible! We saw Dall proposes, sea lions, seals, a sea otter, Fin whales, humpback whales, and orcas. All of them! Plus several glaciers! Best decision ever to book this cruise! (6 hr cruise at 11:30a)

Kenai Fjords and Resurrection Bay Half-Day Wildlife Cruise

James_L, Jul 2026

The best thing we did in Alaska!

This excursion was the best thing we did all week! The staff was excellent. Prompt and friendly service was the norm. We saw everything. We spent over an hour watching the AK6 pod of orcas and a group of four humpback whales bubble netting herring. We also saw sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, bald eagles and puffins. The captain was very knowledgeable and provided very interesting commentary on all the sights. A wonderful experience. We have already talked about doing it again the next time we are in Alaska!!

Diana_G, Jul 2026

Great team!

Just know its nature. Can't be forced. We saw humpback whales but never saw them jump or anything like in some reviews photos. I wish I had, but I learned a lot with Griffin. Very knowledgeable team. The bus driver was very talkative and fun...overall I think its a great experience and we enjoyed it.

An Unforgettable Whale Watching Day

What an awesome experience! Captain Conner found whales right away, and the views were incredible from the very start. Our crew, Haylee and Ammon, were fantastic, they shared great information about the whales, local wildlife, and the area. Haylee helped us identify the whales we saw, and Ammon kept an eye out for signs so we were always ready when they surfaced. On the way back, we stopped for a quick visit with some local sea lions relaxing on a buoy, and before wrapping up, we paused for a beautiful photo with the Mendenhall Glacier behind us from the water. The boat was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of viewing space for everyone. We will be back for sure!

Cruise was absolutely wonderful. We took the 6 hr cruise which showed us all marine wildlife including humpback whales, otters, sea lions, puffins. Staff was very knowledgeable and very helpful and the guide to everything was excellent. Trip also included a lunch which covers the day trip wonderfully. Highly recommend this cruise if in the Seward area. All staff and captain including Emily were so helpful. Highly recommended

Mendenhall Glacier Express

Robert_C, Jun 2026

Choose this over the train.

Great Tour!! They do a great job of stopping at viewpoints all along the way. Giving everyone gets off and are able to take great photos with family and friends. The bus was comfortable and our tour guide Dave was not only firing off great info but he was quite funny also, and kept us entertained throughout. The views are spectacular and the suspension bridge is really cool. I was so happy we took this tour instead of the train, especially when i saw the line for the train. The train doesnt stop, you are stuck on that thing, your opportunity to take quality pics while moving isnt good and forget about getting any family members in the photos.

Great for all ages

Captain JJ and Kaylee were very knowledgeable and passionate about the whales and wildlife. We saw whales, sea lions and eagles. Kaylee was especially good with the children (5 & 9) in our group. The boat was covered so rainy weather was no problem. Our coach driver William was also very knowledgeable of the area, indicating and explaining points of interest. Mendenhall Glacier was amazing. We highly recommend this tour for all ages.

Full-Day Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise

YIUTING_L, Jun 2026

7.5-hour Cruise is a must-do

This was hands down the best tour of our Alaska trip! I would absolutely recommend the 7.5-hour Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise because the extra time on the water gives you so many more opportunities to see wildlife. We spotted whales, sea otters, puffins, and glaciers, and every moment was incredible. The crew was amazing, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about making the experience memorable for everyone on board. The scenery was breathtaking from start to finish, and the longer itinerary made the whole experience feel relaxed rather than rushed. If you're visiting Seward, this cruise is a must-do!
