Others—five of them, to be exact—reach as far as the sea along the craggy coast of the Gulf of Alaska.

Perfect day in Kenai Fjords National Park - This was an amazing experience! We saw so many whales - and so much wildlife. The captain kept in touch with other boats in the area - so he managed out time perfectly. And the weather was glorious. The crew was so nice and so helpful - even treating us to Glaciaritas - Margaritas chilled by glacial ice! Could not recommend this experience more!

Great trip! Recommend it highly! - We had an incredibly calm, sunny, warm day - uncommon for Seward that typically experiences so much rain and wind. Boat was smooth riding (no waves or swells!!), humpbacks and orcas were plentiful and active as were the sea lions, puffins and eagles. Captain Mike was great and the crew were friendly; brought us right up close to the glacier, saw it calving, and they served a surprisingly tasty lunch with exceptional warm/right-out-of-the-oven choc chip cookies!! We were free to roam practically the entire boat so we always had great views. One of the best sightseeing trips we’ve taken this entire trip!

Best Time Ever! - The young ladies who served as the crew were so kind and gracious to the passengers who had motion sickness. Thankfully, I did not, and I enjoyed riding the waves and seeing orcas, sea lions, and all the beauty of the area.

8 ft. seas - we were... - 8 ft. seas - we were offered a refund, but decided to go for it.
Never been so sick in my entire life! The seas were so rough and for 6 hrs. I, along with several others, endured the trip. The staff was exceptional!!!!!! They brought me ice packs for my neck, along with ginger ice chips, and barf bags were replenished often. If it weren't for the staff, I would have never made it back to shore!!
