The captain and crew were wonderful and knowledgeable. The staff went out of their way to engage the kids and were very accommodating to our elderly friends. We saw humpback whales, Orcas, Stellar sea lions and Eagles. I definitely recommend.

The crew was very professional and friendly. Our guide (Merlin) pointed out lots of wildlife and shared interesting facts. One of the highlights was drinking a "glacierita" made from glacier ice. The captain knew his stuff. He was able to get us up close to a waterfall and close enough to the glacier to hear it cracking.…

This is an extremely well-organized experience by Allen Marine Tours. It is worth every cent of the charge. We saw the glacier calving on a beautiful day. There is history and wildlife everywhere you look. This is a must-do tour.

Allen Marine runs a great tour. They are prepared and know what to do and where to go. Admittedly we were probably lucky. We saw an abundance of Orcas, as well as Humpbacks. Icing on the cake were Harbor Seals, River Otters, Sea Lions, and birds galore. The boat it just the right size for the number aboard, the staff helpful and friendly. Way exceeded our expectations!…

Booked this tour through Carnival Cruise Lines (hope this is the right tour operator). Bus picked us up at the pier and had a fantastic driver. Funny, entertaining and informative. First stop was Mendenhall Glacier. Always breath taking. In all fairness, I was here ten years ago and it saddened me to see how much the glacier has receded. Spent nearly an hour there. Walked the trails a bit, when it the visitor center for a great vantage point of the glacier and park. Back on the bus we headed past Auke Lake to board the boat to see the whales. We had a great naturist on board who gave us all kinds of information pertaining to the area's wildlife. Shortly after we left the pier we did see whales. Found several "hot spots" and spent some time watching the whales and even made a short pit stop to see some Steller sea lions. Nice tour and plenty of wildlife. Free beverages, donuts and hot chocolate rounded out the boat ride. Restrooms were available onboard and clean. If Alaska is on your bucket list, don't put it off and take this tour.…
