Great captain and crew! We were the last boat of the season, saw bald eagles, otters, sea lions, a black bear, a mountain goat and 2 different jellies and the most amazing glaciers!!

4 hours was a perfect amount of time to be out in the water. The crew was excellent; polite, knowledgeable and helpful. I’m a first time Alaskan visitor and I would highly recommend this cruise.

Added this trip at the end of a cruise. Had a few hours to explore before the train to Anchorage. Our luggage was stored at the train station. Our few hours out we saw, orcas, tail slapping and playing near our boat, porpoise playing, and our crew did a great job pointing out the three bald eagles we saw on the shorelines. I don’t think it could have been any better. Drinks and light snacks were available as were binoculars available for use. Crew was outstanding. Would definitely go back anytime.

This is a great tour for rain or shine. Ours was mostly rainy but we saw some beautiful rainbows and spectacular views of the mountains. The captain and crew were amazing. They made sure the passengers had what they needed and didn't get too sea sick when the water got choppy. They pointed out the wildlife and got as close as was safe, letting us get plenty of photos. We got to see bald eagles, sea lions, seals, jelly fish, mountain goats, and otters. They also shared information on the history and topography of Resurrection Bay. The tour was definitely worth the money we spent on it.

We had an amazing time! I really appreciated that they reserved a table for each party, the front of the boat has stadium type standing areas so everyone can take in the views. The crew was so friendly and was able to get us some incredible scenery including lots of killer whale sightings pretty late in the season (thanks Luna for spotting them!). I have done a similar boat tour in Seward and preferred this one. Would recommend to anyone visiting this beautiful town!

Marshall_F

Beautiful scenery on a clear day! Sea lions and mountain goats. No whales, but that is to be expected this late in the scenery. Incredibly clean and organized!
