Good to know

This full-day cruise departs from Harbor 360 Hotel in Seward, Alaska. If you are driving from Anchorage, please allow ample time for travel due to construction and traffic on the Seward Highway. Motion sickness-prone individuals may want to consider alternative options, as this cruise ventures into the open Gulf of Alaska. However, our half-day Resurrection Bay cruises offer equally stunning sights without the extended time at sea. Make sure to bring your camera to capture the incredible moments and consider dressing in layers to adjust to changing weather conditions.

We couldn’t have had a better day. We were blessed with our sightings and the weather. Captain Gary was soo knowledgable about the area, the animals and marine life. Also history and background of the locations. All the crew were very pleasant and only too eager to assist with anything and everything. Just the best day out ever.

We took the 7.5 hr tour which was not too long at all. The staff was knowledgable, friendly, and caring. The captain went off the map to find us some Orcas. The information over the loud speaker was perfect. We saw whales, eagles, glaciers calving, stellar sea lions, harbor seals. The boat is set up well so that everyone has a set seat inside where they can leave their stuff, but also can see out the huge windows. There are just as many seats out in the open which makes it easy to move around and see all the sights. The lunch was basic but well organized and easy. Other food was available for a fee. The staff was able to pull some ice-berg ice out of the water and make impressive alcohol drinks. We were lucky with a clear sky , but still would have gone with nasty weather.

This day cruise was good but the wildlife was a little disappointing. We saw a couple sea lions and sea otters. However, the boat got pretty close to several glaciers and those were nice to see up close. The assigned seating was actually quite nice (we may have been lucky and got a cute elderly man and grandson at our table). The boat was comfortable and lunch was good. The crew was friendly and it looked like they did a good job taking care of a sea-sick passenger. It was quite chilly at the end of August, bring lots of warm clothes. I'm thinking we probably would have been just as happy if we had done the half day cruise instead of the full day.

I cannot recommend this trip enough. We saw some much beautiful wildlife and wonderful scenery. The crew was great and the boat was comfortable. Just be sure to wear layers.

This is a beautiful and fun tour! The crew is fantastic and the wildlife and views are absolutely amazing to see. All in all a great experience you shouldn't miss.

it's sort of risky to book in advance because of the uncertainty of weather. i get a rainy day and that was good for viewing the glacier but not good in visibility on the ocean. too cloudy to see sceneries. and before boarding we had to wait in the rain

williamnO8999KH

Excellent trip all around. Friendly and helpful crew and the boat captain worked to maximize our viewing opportunities, which were quite plentiful. Lunch service was pretty good and handled very effectively. Would definitely recommend the trip.

Views we’re amazing in addition to wildlife sitings mentioned above Crew greatly exceeded my expections

Gay P

The crew was professional, friendly, very knowledgeable, patient, flexible and good humored. The company runs like a fine machine, with great viewing places inside and out. We went off course to see Orcas playing in nearby waters, but didn’t miss any other promised sights and still got back to shore at exact ETA. As promised, we saw whales, puffins, sea otters, calving glaciers, and eagles. It was a glorious 7.5 hours.
