Special and unique experience! - My girlfriend and me went on a 7,5 hours tour on 29th August. The trip start on time and you can fell how this is very professional service from the start. Staff even helpt me with a parking, and the service on board was excellent also. On whole trip some of the staff is going around too check is everybody ok, because of potential sea sickness, and captain all the way explain secif8c nature and wildlife situation that you are currently observing. On whole trip the best and most exciting moments was when we saw humpback whale! At this time if the year it is not easy to see whales, but we were blessed to see humpback whale jumo from the water! Crazy, so beautiful and unique moment! Unforgettable! And whale jumped 5 times, in a half an hour searching and fallawing whale by captain! Another highlight are glachers, and this is also so special that the whale trip is one of best experiences that I ever had! Must do!

Kenai Fjords Major Marine Tour - 4 hrs. was plenty and AMAZING!! - The 7 hr. tour we were set up for had to be cancelled or changed to a 4 hr. tour due to 15' swales further out. If this happens to you, don't fret. A hump back whale and about 8-9 orcas didn't like the swales either and came in further to our boat, so we missed nothing. OK, we may have missed seeing an iceberg, but absolutely nothing else. The crew were amazing, and we saw over 20 waterfalls, 5-6 eagles, otters, seals, seagulls, and had a FABULOUS experience. People kept apologizing for the rainy weather, but we didn't go to Alaska expecting to see sunshine and beaches. We experienced Alaska in September by train, planes, buses and this boat trip. Soooo glad we didn't waste our 'once in a lifetime trip' on a cruise ship. We would have missed soooo much! Thanks again for such a great time! The meals were great as well. :)~~Bob & Kathy Dunlap-Medina, OH

Book it - you won't regret it! - I can't say enough good things about this experience! Fabulous customer service, as I emailed with many questions before and after booking and they were so thorough and patient. We came to Seward by cruise ship and were leaving that evening by train. Major Marine staff were waiting for us as we exited our cruise ship - they tagged our luggage, loaded it (and us) in the van and transported us to the hotel. While we were on the tour, they transported our luggage to the train for us - seamless experience. Now for the tour - amazing views and so relaxing! The crew (I think it was Justin, Scott, Marissa and Rebecca) were fabulous! The lunch was really good too! Two weeks in Alaska and this was one of our favorite experiences!
