Amazing! Wonderful sights, wonderful company! - Probably the highlight of a wonderful trip! Captain Jen took us out on a beautiful day and showed off the fjords. We got close enough to the glacier to hear the roar of the calving and the seals, birds, and Spire Cove were stunningly beautiful. They have the timing to meet the train from Anchorage done and you will be well taken care of. Have to especially note that after the tour their staff made sure EVERYONE got to their destination! Tanya even took us to our hotel! Just made us feel welcomed! Thanks to all, it was beautiful and special!

Great trip! - Great trip! We were fortunate to see a juvenile humpback whale - most whales had left to migrate south. The captain was great and tried to make sure we saw all wildlife! We saw seals, puffins , glacier and otters.

Awesome adventure - Fantastic tour. Although 150 people on board, did not feel crowded. Lots of space to move around. Captain Laura was terrific along with the rest of the crew. Informative and helpful. The lunch was fine and they have snacks and drinks on board. Everything was clean and organized. Binoculars on board to borrow.

It was good. - I found the senior deck hand a bit abrupt. Didn't seem to want to take time when I asked questions about where we could go as there was a function on the second deck. Could tell she had some type of cold, or sinus issues. Should clean her nose when dealing with guests especially when she had two nose rings. It was not a site I wanted in my mind before I started my excursion. The captain was great, knowledgeable and really made the effort for us to see the wildlife such as whales, otters, eagles etc. Would have given a higher rate had it not been for Olivia starting off my excursion on the wrong foot.

We were not able to see... - We were not able to see any animals. The trip would have been same if it was for 1 hr. The name of the tour is misleading as they didn’t take to Kenai Fjord
