Very knowledgable captain- He was on the mike extensively explaining wildlife, details about the boat, why we were or were not doing something... Everybody was pleased, everybody learned something and got great pictures. The boat was comfortable, heated, and the ride was smooth. The stop at Fox Island seemedm a little rushed...and the food was okay- But I am a... more

I chose the all-day “Captain’s Choice” tour with Mariah Tours, a part of the Kenai Fjords Tour company. The Captains Choice tour caters to smaller groups and allows the captain to match the passenger’s interests with the conditions on that day when planning a route. We cruised on the “Misty” with Captain Dan Olsen and first mate Chris. The boat... more

We cruised the kenai peninsula on July 10th. It was showering a bit as we headed to the port but later stopped. The captain of the ship Richard was terrific when it came to giving information. He was in no hurry and very patiently stopped at various spots where we could spot wildlife. At one point, some one saw a... more

We went on the 11:30 am 6-hour national park tour after coming off a 1 week northbound Alaska cruise. I booked online (they offered free passes to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center if you booked the 11:30 am tour online). The captain was very knowledgable, crew were nice. The boat had 100+ (maybe 130 or so?) passengers. Everyone found indoor... more

We had a wonderful trip - perfect day - sunny and breezy. The captain was terrific with tons of information about all the wildlife. Whales! Puffins! Stellar sea lions! Eagles! And the glacier! Wow. The staff is friendly and helpful and the young man on the pier (Nick) was the very best. Highly recommend this company! more

Given the scenery and wildlife in the area, it would be very difficult to make a mess of running a tour here. This tour provides evrything that is required, but doesn't go over the top. It's a decent boat with good facilities. The commentary is good, but not overbearing. The crew are helpful if needed, but don't get in the... more

My family and I took a day trip to Seward on July 30, 2006. It was a beautiful day. We didn't have reservations but knew we wanted to go on a cruise. We descided to go on the day cruise. It was AMAZING. A humback whale came right up to the boat, killer whales swam under us and a baby... more

Is possible take one of the tours that stop at Fox Island for dinner. The island is very nice, but the food is simply great. more

We took the half-day Kenai Fjords National Park tour on August 26, 2006. It was worth every penny ($120/adult +tax)! We departed ~10a and returned ~4p. We saw a *LOT* of wildlife - sea otters, mountain goats, puffins, bald eagles, dolphins, humpback whales, and at least two separate 40+ member pods of orcas. The route we took sent us out... more
