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.

The crew was super helpful and attending to us. Saw humpback whales, puffins, sea otters, porpoise, and so much more!

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. Our captain/guide was knowledgeable and answered every question passengers asked. The crew was helpful and friendly. If we are ever in Seward again we would do this in a heartbeat!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
