We had a lot of fun viewing the glaciers in Kenai Fjords. The amount of wildlife we saw was amazing! We saw orcas, humpbacks, fin whales, sea otters, sea lions, seals, the common murre, and puffins! Super great experience!

We were able to see a lot of different wildlife on our tour, bald eagle, whales, orcas, sea lions, and an otter. We saw several glaciers, including two upclose. Our lunch was delicious and they even made us chocolate chip cookies. The captain was very knowledgeable of the history of the area and about the wildlife. We were taking excellent care of. Some passengers received help with nausea and discomfort. It was an enjoyable experience.

It’s a MUST, the captain Mark J was the best, a lot of knowledge, great sense of humor and made 8 hours of trip an unforgettable experience. The crew was very friendly, good food, and we had the chance to see whales, sea lions, harbor seals, eagles, sea otters, more birds and glaciers.
Excellent Tour!

Very hard working, kind and knowledgeable staff. Captain Greg, Karlee, Nic and Max took very good care of us. It helped that we saw multiple humpbacks, a fin whale, California gray whales, and orcas. They said we were particularly lucky, but I’ll take it!
My experience was awesome and I would recommend it to anyone

My experience was awesome and would recommend it to everyone we saw a ton of wild life. And a bunch of Wales. I definitely would recommend to bring sunscreen a tight fitting hat and a phone charger.
