As a resident of the Kenai Peninsula for almost 23 years I've have many opportunities to cruise the Kenai Fjords National Park with Kenai Fjords Tours in Seward Alaska. My latest trip (it's been several years since my last visit) was one of the finest. Though this time of year Kenai Fjords Tours heavily advertises the return of the Gray... More

Beautiful and exciting tour. Expensive but worth every penny. Kind people and knowledgable staff. Dall porpoises were the best part. Oh, and the raft of otters, and the seals and the whales how could I forget the whales? Just awesome.

Bang for our buck, this was just what we needed. In four hours we saw 8 whales, porpoise, sheep, sea lions, zillions of birds and a distant glacier. Lunch was included and the narration was informative without being over done.

Day 2 of our stay we decided on this tour over the other local tour company. Bought our tickets at the Seward Military Resort for a discount. Being from San Diego I was expecting a harbor cruise vessel similar to San Diego. Wow we're we surprised! The whole crew and Capt Tim were Awesome. We spotted Orca whales, porpoises sheep,... More

We went in July, 2012 on the Northwestern Fjord Tour. I would recommend this to anyone who loves nature and the outdoors. We chose the larger boat, because the agent on the phone told me that the water could be pretty rough. Boy, was she right!! We were so glad we were in a large boat! We went out early... More

I took the Captain's Choice tour which is recommended for photographers and bird watchers. It is a small boat and a long tour (9 hours) so you need to think about things like sea sickness and whether you can tolerate being on a boat that small for 9 hours. It is very tight for everyone to be inside at the... More

A group of us have gone on tours of Resurrection Bay for the past few years, and always enjoyed it. Equally happy with Major Marine and Kenai Fjords. You can't go wrong with either. (to me the main difference is total $15 more with Kenai Fjords gets you a wrap sandwich and admission to Sea Life Center). As always, the... More

Not having a lot of time to spend we opted to take the Kenai Fjords Company Tour of the Kenai Fjords National Park. We also included an overnight stop at their Fox Island lodge, which I will review separately. The tour itself is excellent and takes up just about the whole day. Remember, you are on a fairly large ship... More

Started out really early for the drive from Soldotna to Seward and arrived right in time to depart for the boat. My family decided to do the 8-hour trip with the stop on Fox Island. It was definitely worth every penny! We got to see whales, puffins, seals, the glaciers and that beautiful blue water! The Captain was very enthusiastic... More

Let me start by saying, we have on a previous trip to Alaska been on a Fjord Boat and loved it. This time we tried the Capitan's Choice. I can't recomend it! Our boat had to return to the dock after we were out about a half and hour. Engine trouble. We went back out on the second boat, but... More

Thanks for taking the time to write a review of our tour from May of last year. Many of our clients have only one day to take a tour in Kenai Fjords and in light of the mechanical delay, we are pleased that we were still able to complete your trip. As you noted, we provide our passengers different tour... More
