We had a wonderful time on the cruise. The crew were excellent and Captain Wayne was just wonderful. He kept guiding us throughout the tour. It was an excellent experience with breathing views. Definitely recommend the tour.

The Half-day Resurrection Bay WildlifeTour from Seward was excellent. The team on the Nunatak did a fabulous job of making us comfortable. They served our food which was delicious, made rounds to be sure we were doing ok and were very kind.
The guide who narrated the tour was very knowledgeable and clearly loved what he does.
Towards the end of the tour we encountered a large group of humpbacked whales which made our day! Definitely do this cruise.

The trip was good but we were extremely unhappy with the boarding process and the front desk. We were travelling with our 12 year old who has autism and we requested if we could board early to give us extra time to settle down which was denied. This is the first time ever we have had an experience like this and we have travelled all over Europe and the US. We were told that if the person is not on a wheelchair, no accommodations would be provided. We had the stand in the rain for about 30mins and had a tough time managing my child's behavioral issues which ruined the cruise for us. I would not recommend this to anyone with special needs.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that the boarding process did not meet your expectations and that it created additional stress for your family.
Our Guest Service Agents are trained to provide priority boarding for guests with mobility needs, including those using wheelchairs and other ADA accommodations. Based on your description, it appears there may have been a misunderstanding regarding your request. If this had not been able to be resolved at the front desk, we would have appreciated the opportunity to have a manager assist, as we always want to explore reasonable accommodations whenever possible.
While our team is well trained in ADA boarding procedures related to mobility, we recognize that situations involving autism and other non-visible disabilities may require a different approach. Your feedback highlights an area where we can improve our training and awareness so we can better serve guests with a wider range of accessibility needs.
We sincerely apologize that this experience impacted what should have been an enjoyable cruise for your family. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we wish you and your family all the best.

We had a fantastic afternoon on the water. The entire crew was amazing. We were entertained by both Orca and Hump Back Whales extensively! We also saw so many other wild life. The lunch was great as well. We thought we were going to get closer to glaciers. I guess that is a longer cruise.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your afternoon on the water, the incredible wildlife sightings, lunch, and the fantastic crew. We appreciate your feedback regarding the glaciers—our longer tours do travel farther into Kenai Fjords National Park for closer glacier viewing. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure!

Great tour to see wildlife and natural beauty. We saw humpback whales, orcas, dolphins, sea lions, sea birds, etc. very good narration at the different spots. Also the lunch was great! My only ding on this is the captain/narrator kept trying to stick around longer to see more whales and ended up making us about 8 minutes late when we returned. Usually would not be a big deal but had to rush to catch a cruise ship with less than 30 minutes to spare. Thankfully they had a shuttle and we made it on time.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the wildlife sightings, narration, and lunch onboard. We also appreciate your feedback regarding timing and understand how important it is to stay on schedule, especially with cruise connections. We’re happy to hear you still made it back on time and hope to welcome you aboard again in the future!

Amazing crew and experience. Saw seals, sea lions, puffins, humpbacks, glacier, orcas and billy goats. Beautiful scenery, captain gave great descriptions on where to find/see everything on the shore. Plenty of time on the water. Celiacs: a gluten free lunch option was available on the boat (salad and chips), but was not celiac safe (if you need it).
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the crew, scenery, and all the incredible wildlife sightings throughout your trip. We also appreciate your helpful note regarding the gluten-free meal option and will share that with our team as we continue improving guest experience. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon!
