The park ranger on board was very informative, narrating throughout the cruise and telling about the history of Alaska as well as the geology of the glaciers and the land around us. He was helpful in pointing out wildlife throughout the cruise too. The meal was excellent-a good amount of food for the price, and all very well prepared. The... more

We took the Kenai Fjords Half Day Wildlife Cruise in July, 2009. Unfortunately, it rained the entire day of our cruise, so we were limited in what we were able to see. We were able to see some eagles, gulls (lots), puffins, a few harbor seals. The crew was great. The ride was a little rough due to the weather,... more

Locals complained that they never got to experience summer in 2008. I believe them. Seward was a chilly place in late June & Resurrection Bay even more so, once our tour boat was underway. But plenty of clothing, a hat, & gloves made the cold wind bearable and the trip so worthwhile! The 6-hour Kenai Fjords tour has a welcoming... more

Although the Kenai Fjord tour is undoubtedly as great as we anticipated, one of the boat's engines would not start. After sitting on board in the harbor for an hour, the cruise was cancelled. Major Marine offered the salmon lunch free for anyone who wanted to stay and eat, but we left. This was the biggest disappointment of our Alaska... more

We went on a 8h cruise last July and it was very disappointing from beginning to end. The ranger gave information as if she were working at a circus rather than at a National Park, sentences like "and now be prepared for a great surprise..." when approaching a glacier. We saw very little wildlife and, because of the size of... more

Great captain, Great Ranger Great food, Great Glaciers, Great Wildlife!! What more can I say, this trip was the best value among the full day cruises and it provided a wonderful salmon and prime rib dinner. We saw several humpback whales, numerous bird species, glaciers, seals, sea lions... Complaints about seating space are overdone. we had plenty of room. I... more

I went on the Kenai Fjords National Park full day tour. Our tour saw Dall porpoises, puffins, sea otters, bald eagles, Steller sea lions, spotted seals, several BREACHING WHALES, a black bear, calving glaciers, and many other interesting birds. The staff was helpful and it was a highlight of our 2 week vacation in AK. more

If you want to see Alaskan sea life, this is the trip to take! We saw pods of orcas, humpback whales - one which put on a 15 minute show for us- puffins, sea lions, otters, glaciers calving, and so much more! I would suggest seasick precautions, however, since we encountered 6-8 foot swells. I wore an earpatch and was... more

This is a nice tour, the only problem is that we didn't see too many animals for the first 1/2 hour, so we were a little disappointed at first. However, we started seeing puffins, stellar sea lions, a humpback whale, and mountain goats. The naturalist on board and the park ranger did a good job. We didn't buy the meal,... more

This was the most fantastic trip! We opted for the 8 hour tour with lunch, and it was the best money I ever spent. The ranger narrating the tour was informative and spotted all kinds of interesting wildlife that would otherwise be missed, and the captain did as well. We saw otters, killer whales, humpback whales (3 separate times!) as... more
