Great experience. Totally...

Great experience. Totally worth the price. You see many wildlife and the glacier. Crews offer great service too.

Worth the money!

Well run ship and tour. Nothing is ever guaranteed, but this line and the others help to make sure you see whatever is out there! The glacier is amazing and getting to see it and feel it as the staff brought it out of the water was very cool! If you do get seasick take medicine before you sail off and stay in the back of the boat outside. I’m not prone to sea sickness but I was getting a little sick myself and it was considered mild weather conditions (3-4 swells). Worth the money and the drive to Seward!

Great crew and captain. Saw so many beautiful animals, and the glacier was so amazing. I would 100% recommend this to anyone wanting to do it.
