5.00We were amazed at all the wildlife the captain located for us. He was a wealth of information and we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hour tour. We saw seals, sea lions, otters, pin whales, humpback whales, and numerous birds. Just the right amount of time out. Would definitely take it again.
Best Tour in Seward!!

5.00This was truly the best tour you can take in Seward, thanks to an incredible crew. They went above and beyond to make sure we experienced all the best spots and even took special care to help us spot wildlife. Captain Clint, in particular, made sure we didn’t miss the whales. We were lucky enough to see around 15–16 fin whales, which is an incredibly rare sight! It truly became the tour of a lifetime for us, and we couldn’t be more grateful to Major Marine Tours, and especially to Captain Clint.
Book It!!
