Alaska - Major Marine Tours
 

Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with this tour operator? Also, can't decide between a Kenai Fjords tour or the Prince William Sound tour. Any suggestions?

Love to know any info you might have -- will be on Kenai Peninsula this summer and trying to find same info! <BR>

We took a day cruise from Seward last May and highly recommend this company. We were a little concerned when we boarded and were assigned a table, but the table assignment was only used for lining up for the buffet. The ship was at about a 75% occupancy and we were able to move around as much as we liked. We had excellent viewing for everything. <BR> <BR>We saw more wild life than we ever expected. First we saw sea otters in the bay. We then saw goats or sheep on the shoreline. During our cruise we saw humpback whales, orcas, seals, sea lions, puffins, and lots of other birds. The glacier viewing was incredible and yes we saw the glaciers calving. <BR> <BR>The boat was quite comfortable. We dressed in layers and spend most of our time on deck. The food was incredible. We were served salmon, chicken, salad, rice, sour dough bread, and various desserts (brownies, jello, cookies). <BR> <BR>The crew was very helpful in pointing out the wild life. <BR> <BR>We saw bears and bald eagles in Kenai Fjords National Park on our way to Exit Glacier. <BR> <BR>The whole experience exceeded our expectations. <BR>

WE ALSO HAD TO MAKE THE DECISION ON WHICH TOUR TO TAKE. BUT DECIDED TO GO WITH THE KENAI FJORDS. WAS TOLD BY THE PEOPLE WE ARE VISITING, WHO LIVE IN ANCHORAGE, THERE IS MUCH MORE TO SEE ON THAT CRUISE, AS OPPOSED TO P.W.SOUND. <BR>ALSO THE DRIVE DOWN TO SEWARD IS BEAUTIFUL, SO THAT WAS OUR CHOICE. JUST GOT MY CONFIRMATION FOR THE CRUISE TODAY. <BR>HOPE U ENJOY YOUR TIME IN ALASKA TOO. THIS IS OUR 1ST TIME THERE. NEVER IMAGINED I'D EVER GO WAYYYY UP THERE. WE GO THE 8TH OF JULY FOR 12 DAYS. SUE
