Kenai Fjords and Resurrection Bay Half-Day Wildlife Cruise

Overview

Search for whales, sea otters, Steller sea lions, Dall’s porpoises, harbor seals, bald eagles, puffins, and many other types of marine birds as you cruise the the protected waters of Resurrection Bay on this 4 hour cruise. Rather than following a set route, this cruise travels to the best whale and wildlife viewing areas that day based on reports from other vessels. The experienced captains will explore the area’s wildlife hot spots to maximize your chances of viewing whales and other wildlife. You'll experience up-close encounters with wildlife as the ship cruises by massive bird rookeries and sea lion colonies, stopping along the route to view passing whales and otters. Peak season for whale watching is June through mid-August.

Excellent Tour. Safe and interesting. We even got to see an Orca whales family, great photos. Of course other animals: Birds, Seals, etc.

We did a half-day cruise with Major Marine Tours, and it was truly worth it! Not only did we spot an abundance of wildlife but the crew was fantastic, the chili was delightful, the cocktails were spot on (don't miss the Hot Otter), and the boat (Skana) was immaculate. Our day on the water treated us to sightings of Dall’s porpoises, Orca whales (probably nearly a dozen!), sea lions, harbor seals, Bald eagles, mountain goats, and a very entertaining sea otter. With a couple of side trips to secluded inlets, it will be hard to top this experience anytime soon.

This was such a great experience! It was raining when we went, but we were still able to enjoy everything.
