Traveler reviews
Everything was very well...
Everything was very well organized. The staff was fabulous about checking on people and interacting with them. We were able to see whales.
Must add to your Alaskan itinerary!
My family of 6 had a lovely adventure! We took the 6 hour cruise, and the day began with rain and we were concerned we wouldn't get to see much. Man. We were so wrong! We saw three humpback whales, ample seals, sea lions, puffins and sea otters! The Aialik Glacier was stunning, and the crew was fantastic! If we had longer to visit, I would absolutely book another! 10/10 great experience!
Kenai Fjords and wildlife cruise.
The pick-up, check-in and boarding process was excellent. The crew were very pleasant, knowledgeable and attentive. The captain knew her subject matter and we were able to see many of the things in the brochure that we expected. Lunch was provided and was good. Overll, the experience was first rate.
Spotted two pods of Orcas!
We highly recommend Major Marine Tours. The crew and captain were excellent, extremely knowledgeable, caring, and accommodating. The captain got us close in to view not one but two pods of Orcas and one of the crew identified the males of those pods so you could follow them online. It was a wonderful trip that we hope to take again.
Phenomenal wild life
The captain and crew were great. The wild life could not have been more spectacular. We lucked out and saw the Orca Sasha. He went under the boat and put on a show for us. Could not have asked for more.
