5.00I don’t even know where to start. This was such an incredible experience. From the wildlife to the views, I was simply left in awe. We saw many different whales, seals, sea lions, puffins, eagles, mountain goats. The captain and crew were incredibly helpful and informative. The meal provided was simple, but good and filling. They offered snacks throughout the day. They also offered “glacial” margaritas but I will let you figure out what that means on your own 😉 Highly recommend.

5.00What a wonderful experience. Capt. Lara was extremely informative. Crew all very attentive and friendly (Luis, Melody, Sydney..) We went on the Skana. Looks like a new boat. It was impeccably clean. We saw humpback whales, sea lions, Dall’s porpoise, otters, eagles, harp seals. Had a glacier margarita! Did the 6 hour tour and it was perfect.
not to be missed!

5.00Excellent tour! The check in and boarding process was smooth, and the captain and crew made the entire experience a great one. The Captain was knowledgeable and narrated the entire time about surrounding areas, glaciers, wildlife and history. The onboard restrooms and catamaran were very clean and well appointed. Overall-this was an awesome experience, and we are so happy we did it! Especially if you love the National Parks, Kenai Fijords can only be visited by boat or helicopter...so this is a wonderful opportunity.
