Saw Sealife! - If you are prone to sea sickness, you might want to get a prescription for the patch ect. We had a good time and Seward is beautiful.

Trip of a lifetime!!! - 12 of us on a ministry trip took advantage of a free Saturday before returning to Tennessee. the crew of Captain Wade, Ryo, John, and Austin were outstanding. Harbor Seals, Puffin, starfish, eaglets and eagles, humpbacks, orca all on the same 4.5-hour trip exceeding our greatest expectations!!!! I would recommend this trip and crew to anyone and everyone. Not enough stars to give and on top of all that, the food was surprising good!

Highly Recommend - I highly recommend this experience. Its a beautiful way to see the fjords plus we saw so much wildlife (seals, sea lions, otters, eagle, whales, and more). The crew was great, the boat was clean with lots of good viewing areas, and lunch was provided. Very worthwhile activity while in Seward!

Resurrection Bay and Wildlife fun!!!! - We did see lots of whales bubble feeding,as well as Stellar sea lions hauled out, puffins. Other sea bird and a blond se otter floating and eating an octopus. The narrator was sweet, fun and knowledgeable. She invited questions, too. The female captain was great, also!

A must see! - Wade and the crew were absolutely phenomenal! Wade gave in-depth information to passengers about some of Anchorage, as well as surrounding islands’, history and the wildlife we saw - he also gets a 10/10 for the dad jokes and commentary throughout the tour. We were fortunate enough to see a pod of whales, and Wade did everything he could to give everyone access to viewing them. I’m not sure who baked the cookies, but I certainly could’ve eaten 10 of them. An absolute must if you have an afternoon in Seward.

First timers - Bring Dramamine if you are new to cruises, and bring gloves, it can get cold on the bow. Don’t be afraid to ride on the bow, it gave us a lot of opportunities to be up close with three animals. If you don’t get a table next to the window, don’t worry - you will spend most of your time outside
