Definitely worth your time to take a cruise to see wildlife and the beauty of Alaska! - We had a wonderful time on the 4 hr wildlife cruise. Even though we would have loved to do the 8.5 hr cruise we also respect and understand why it was canceled due to high seas. Seeing and capturing a puffin on my camera was on my life goal bucket list. Lucky for me the life goal was unlocked! I really thought it would be too late in the season for puffins in the bay. Thank you all very much for your guidance, kind smiles and gracious attitudes. Definitely a wonderful company who is professionally run and well trained. We had a great time! Highly recommended!

Good Time! - Sea was rough so we had to switch from the 7 hour to the 4 hour cruise. It was excellent. Everyone on board did their very best to be sure that we were safe and had the best possible time.

Definite worth going again! - We were amazed at all the wildlife the captain located for us. He was a wealth of information and we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hour tour. We saw seals, sea lions, otters, pin whales, humpback whales, and numerous birds. Just the right amount of time out. Would definitely take it again.

Fabulous wildlife - Very enjoyable experience on a roomy and heated boat with assigned seating, although passengers were free to move about if they chose. Interesting and informative commentary from our captain and fabulous wildlife, humpbacks, orcas, sea otters, sea lions, bald eagles and puffins. Thoroughly recommend

Best Tour in Seward!! - This was truly the best tour you can take in Seward, thanks to an incredible crew. They went above and beyond to make sure we experienced all the best spots and even took special care to help us spot wildlife. Captain Clint, in particular, made sure we didn’t miss the whales. We were lucky enough to see around 15–16 fin whales, which is an incredibly rare sight! It truly became the tour of a lifetime for us, and we couldn’t be more grateful to Major Marine Tours, and especially to Captain Clint.
