Others—five of them, to be exact—reach as far as the sea along the craggy coast of the Gulf of Alaska.

Long boat ride but worth it for views of wildlife. Glacier view great, saw orca, humpbacks x 10 or so, sea lion, mountain goat, otter, eagle…… water got rough on way back, staff was great. Back exactly on time. Highly recommend.

The staff was amazingly friendly and organized. They made everything to make sure that all guests could enjoy the tour and take great and memorable pictures. I also would luke to add that booking it through Viator was also a great experience. All support from providing the proper documentation and phone support is something that I appreciate.

The glacier. Book directly though as logistics to get on the boat and check in through the third party was very bad. The excursion on the boat was excellent. Captain and the crew were outstanding!

The best excursion: orcas, whales, sea lions, puffins, bear, chocolate chip cookies! Perfect ship to get outside to take photos and inside to get out of the wind

Very informative, well organised trip. We were lucky with the weather and experienced heaps of wildlife: lots of orcas, humpback whales, stellar sea lions, sea otters, mountain goats with their babies, a bear. Our captain did not miss anything. We thoroughly enjoyed that boat trip

Great trip! Saw 2 kinds of whales plus other animals. No bear. Beautiful scenery. The driver knew exactly how to find and let us see the good stuff

Skipper and crew were terrific—friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Ad they gave us fresh cookies! We lucked out with the orcas—they showed off and it was a thrill to watch them. Wonderful experience all around.

Great tour. Went on the first national forest tour of the season. Did not expect it to be as good as it was. Saw lots of orcas, lots of humpbacks, porpoise’s, seals, sea lions, otters, bald eagles, puffins, big chunks of ice falling off the glacier!!! Crew was amazing, accommodating, and helpful! Captain was great at pointing things out and very knowledgeable! Stopped when there was things to see and was very good at positioning the boat for us to see things. Highly recommend checking this out if you are in Seward. Worth the drive from anchorage to Seward(it’s a beautiful drive anyways)! 10/10 will be back for another tour next time we are in ak.
