Hidden Gem! - This is a little known gem of a cruise. Perfect day trip to show off Alaska in the Spring. As an Alaskan, I’ve taken family on this cruise a couple of times now. Not crowded. Lots of animals. Gorgeous scenery. Clean boats. Professional crew. And no fees for parking yet in Seward!! No puffins yet, but that just means you need to visit the Seward SeaLife Center to see them up close. Ten out of ten.

Expectations Exceeded - When you plan activities with your friend of sixty years, you choose wisely. This exceeded all expectations. The views. The individual care. The shared information. I got chilled outside and came into the heated cabin. Before I could hardly settle in I had the sweetest staff approach to point things out and share information. It was magical.

Experience choices - Was amazing! There were spots around the boat for staying out of the wind but still outside or you could be inside or you could even stand outside at the very front of the boat!

Great experience! lots of fun - Such a good tour! Great guides, especially Jack and Octavia, amazing service, and perfectly equipped amenities! Only sad thing was no whales, but it’s a tough time of year to view them. Otherwise plenty of other wildlife was spotted!! Lots of fun, would highly recommend!
