My final stop in Alaska was in Seward, where I embarked on a marine tour from Resurrection Bay to visit a glacier. This tour was an incredible experience, offering sightings of bald eagles, sea otters, sea lions, and even a humpback whale. Our guides and boat captain did a fantastic job ensuring we had ample opportunities to see all these amazing sites. The journey through Resurrection Bay was breathtaking, with stunning views of coastal forests, dramatic landscapes, and sightings of mountain goats along the rugged coastline. We also saw eagles, cormorants, and puffins. Our boat captain made frequent stops, allowing us to marvel at these sights and capture some fantastic photos. While the glacier was our main goal, the ride through the bay was filled with so much beauty that it felt like a highlight in itself. Once we reached open sea, we made our way to Aialik Bay. Fortunately, we had good weather and calm seas, making this part of the trip very comfortable, especially inside the cozy cabin. Entering Aialik Bay, we were greeted by majestic mountains reflecting off the water. Aialik Glacier, part of the Kenai Fjords National Park and fed by the Harding Icefield, was an awe-inspiring sight. We drifted slowly towards the glacier through ice fields, with otters swimming and sea lions lounging on the ice. This was a dinner cruise, and while the food was good, it wasn't particularly special, possibly because we were there during lunch. However, the crew added a fun twist by bringing aboard some ice from the glacier, which we got to hold. Other ice chunks were used to make Glacier Margaritas, which was a fun and unique experience. Overall, the tour was incredibly enjoyable, offering stunning natural views, abundant wildlife, and a pleasant lunch. The staff were all helpful and provided a great experience.

We were very excited for this cruise but it is no joke. We both got very sea sick and very cold. Would have ideally brought more layers and taken all the drugs. Dinner was ok.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear that you and your partner faced some challenges with seasickness and the cold. The weather and sea conditions can indeed be unpredictable, so dressing in layers and being prepared for the motion of the sea is always a good idea. We're glad you still managed to join us, and we hope the sights and the cruise itself were enjoyable despite the discomfort.

Best sightseeing cruise ever! We were lucky enough to see mountain goats, jellyfish swimming, an otter eating an octopus, porpoise jumping, puffins, up close glacier, harbor seals, sea lions, one eagle and the best thing of all, about 14 gray humpback whales bubble feeding. It was like something in National Geographic!! Phenomenal!!! The captain was a great guide and knowledgeable about all things! Highly recommend!
