Breathtaking Views

We took the 6 hour glacier and wildlife cruise. The glaciers were spectacular as well as the views. The wildlife was minimal, but it was late in the season (Sept). The boat was top notch, and the staff was stellar. I’d love to take another cruise in the summer to see more wildlife.
Worth it!

We were on the last boat of the season so it is not a surprise that we didn’t see much wildlife but the crew made sure we had a good experience. We saw seals, an otter eating an octopus and lots of puffins. The star was of course, glaciers. The crew accommodated motion sickness and patiently answered all our questions.
Great way to experience Alaska!

We loved the scenery, explanation of all we saw including wildlife, and seeing as many mammals as we did this late in the year.

We had the most amazing time on this tour! We got so lucky in September to have a sunny day, but the trip was incredible! The captain and crew were so knowledgeable and helpful. We saw two humpback whales, some otters, and sea lions! the glacier was also so cool to see so close. They collected fallen ice from the ocean and used it to serve margaritas too which was fun! Definitely worth the money, we had an amazing time and would absolutely do this again

Rained. But great crew. Great views. Even got to see a straggler humpback whale. Worth it. Min 90 characters.
