Amazing! We were so lucky to see the glacier calving a lot sending small tsunami’s toward our boat. And we saw sea lions, killer whales, Mexican sailboat, otters, porpoises. We had an all women crew and loved it. The food was delicious. I have all ready recommended to friends.
A+. See a glacier that close was incredible. I especially enjoyed my old fashioned with the glacier ice cube!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the A+ review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the incredible glacier views and your old fashioned with glacier ice. We hope to see you again!
I spent the whole trip out on the bow of the boat enjoying the extremely calm seas. The captain changed their original plans to take us all the way out to Northwestern glacier

We had the most magnificent day!!!! The weather was absolutely perfect and our Captain provided us with so much education about the area and especially the history of the glaciers. We saw two whales, puffins and sea lions however the most glorious of the experience was viewing the Northwestern Glacier. Thanks abundantly to our Captain and Guide for the day! The crew was also amazing.

We were able to see lots of wildlife, and beautiful scenery. The captain was great to give adequate time and turned the boat so everyone got a chance to see the wildlife. The crew was great too! Fun that they had the otter pelt and ice chunk for everyone to view and feel up close. Cookie were a welcome surprise. Lunch was good.

Loved being so close to the mountains, the sea life, the beautiful glacier water and the actual glaciers up close, all was stunning. The staff, every one of them, top notch! We had an emergency on board, handled beautifully, and if your tummy was tipsy from swells, they helped with that as well❤️ had friends who had been on cruises say this was 'better.'
I think that is the closer perspective.

You never know what the weather will be so layer up and be prepared! Don’t let a little rain spoil your fun. There is so much to see and Captain Emma was great.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

We had a great experience despite the weather being the rainiest week in recent history. The captain was very knowledgeable and made every effort to get us to the best wildlife spots. Her commentary was informative and interesting and her personality was great. I highly recommend Kenai Fjord Tours. This is my 4th time on the tours out of Seward.

Beautiful cruise. Crew is extremely nice and attentive. Food was amazing, yes, the lunch was really good and fresh baked cookies. Scenery was unmatched even when cloudy and a little rain. I suggest you take Dramamine to be safe. A few people were ill for some of the cruise. Not worth it to risk it. It was rough for a bit due to the weather.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Wonderful wildlife and glacier , everyone has a seat inside but dress in layers it can get windy and cold outside.
Great staff and a delicious hot lunch.

Captain Emma and crew were beyond amazing. The captain’s choice allows the captain to alter route to adjust for wildlife reports. We saw it all. Hump back whales bubble netting, Orcas, sea otters, puffins, glaciers, bald eagles, porpoises, sea lions, harbor seals. Perfect weather. Your mileage may vary.

This was absolutely worth every dollar! The trip was GORGEOUS! My wife and I took so many photos of incredible wildlife and the amazing scenery.

This was an amazing trip to the base of the Aialik Glacier, with breaching humpback whales, bald eagles, puffins, Dall's porpoises, harbor seals, and Stellar sea lions along the way! Spectacular! We certainly got lucky with weather, which helped makes this a perfect day.

Great tour. The captain provided great information on all of the animals we encountered. She was very knowledgeable. The all women crew was very attentive and friendly. It was nice having a hot lunch served on a cold day on the water. Energetic captain never seemed to be rushed and made every attempt to have both sides of the ship see the animals. I would highly regime this tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the captain’s knowledge and the attentive crew.
It’s wonderful to hear you had a comfortable experience and got great wildlife viewing from both sides of the vessel. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again!
I chose this because I figured we get to see depends on what wild animals are available. We get to see a lot and captain was so knowledgeable and offered good advise. She caught whales and other animals quickly and help us see it. Many times she provided us plenty of time with photo opps for everyone.

Thank you for the kind review We’re so glad you enjoyed the crew and wildlife sightings and truly appreciate your recommendation to others visiting Seward.
Captain Emma and her crew were so awesome. The narration wasn’t too much or too little, and we got to see humpback whales, puffins, sea lions, harbor seals, and calving at the Northwestern Glacier, among others! Thanks for the fresh baked cookies too! Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2025

The whole experience was great except for the chicken burrito which was Aleyska down. Seeing the whales, the weather was perfect and the mountains were breathtaking.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the whales, beautiful weather, and stunning mountain views. We’re sorry the chicken burrito didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate your feedback as we continue to improve our meal options.
Wow! This was the best part of our Alaska experience! The crew was amazing and we were able to see humpback whales, orca whales, sea otters, puffins, and so much more! I got slightly seasick and the crew took excellent care of me, and I was able to jump back into it! Very much recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're honored to have been a part of the highlight of your Alaska experience.
We were aboard the Orca Voyager with Captain Mike and his crew on a 6 hour tour. Our party included myself, my husband and our two college aged sons. We had a wonderful day. We had to reschedule for a later tour and everyone was very helpful and kind.
The tour was better than we expected. We saw humpback whales bubble feeding as well as fin whales. The birds, otters, sea lions and seals put on quite a show for us and we had great views from the boat. The Holgate Glacier was beautiful. The crew was kind in taking pictures for us. Captain Mike did a great job narrating our trip. Lunch was good and the fresh cookies at the end of the day were a treat. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Response from Host, Jul 2025

Custumer oriented tour, captain knowledge about the serounding is moré then excellent, crew members werre very custumer oriented
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and that our captain and crew made it a great experience. We truly appreciate your feedback!
Great trip. It focuses mainly on glaciers and marine mammals and not so much sea birds which I found a little disappointing. It is hard for a person with limited mobility to see as everyone rushes around the vessel. Overall it is fun and worth the price. We had a great time but I was hoping for something a little different.
Please let the captain know that sea otters are the largest weasels in the world, adult wolverines are only about half their size.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks for your review! We're glad you had a great time and enjoyed the focus on glaciers and marine life.
