Highly Recommend!!! - Lifetime of an amazing experience. We saw sea otters, stellar sea lions, hump back whales, different kinds of puffins and orcas. My parents also loved the experience. There were also taking care of people who were feeling sea sick and also had binoculars to enhance the experience. Very clean restrooms as well.

A good way to see the area. - Amazing trip. Saw multiple whales, bald eagle, sea lions, puffins, glacier. It was fun. If you have a lot of motion/sea sickness take some meclizine prior and bring an extra dose. Lunch is provided. Binoculars are provided on a limited basis. Informative and kind crew. Nico did a great job!

Amazing experience - Very easy to book, great staff, and great crew! A heads up to all that it was colder than expected (& I run hot!) so I bought a hoodie at the hotel. Captain Nate was wonderful and I learned a lot with my family.

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!! - Will start with the fact that this good sized operation gives a great small business vibe. Very organized departure. Friendly staff. The cruise was both educational and exciting. The views were spectacular! Add to that, the sighting of humpback whales, orcas, seals, all sorts of birds and a sea otter! Could not have been better! The captain was terrific at directing folks where to look. The people who do the bookings even went to the lengths of calling Chase Travel (where we booked) to get our lunch orders a few days before departure (and the food was good!). Can't say enough good things about this tour! Zero complaints or suggestions. Well done! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Great day on the water in Seward - We loved our half day cruise. Our Captain was Tammy and she did an incredible job navigating the boat and providing us so much information about the areas we saw and all the wildlife. We saw orca and humpback whales, puffins, sealions, otters and more. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting this area!

Awesome cruise! - Amazing cruise with 4 humpback whales, a pod of orcas (killer whales), sea lions, a sea otter, numerous species of birds and in my wife's opinion the most important sighting of all PUFFINS, both horned and tufted! We also had Dall Porpoises playing and jumping right in front of us! Their speed in the water was awesome! Captain Clint did a fantastic job getting us close to the various wildlife both as he spotted them and as reports came in from other vessels while still being very respectful of both the wildlife and other boats. Even without the wildlife the views of Resurrection Bay with its stunning islands, bays glaciers and mountains would have been worth it. I would highly recommend this cruise!
