Orca Quest Cruise

Overview

Explore the world of Alaska's orca whales on the only orca-focused cruise in Seward! Cruise Resurrection Bay and Kenai Fjords National Park in search of orca whales, distinguishable by their prominent dorsal fins and fascinating social behavior. Rather than following a set cruise route, our Captains take you to places where orcas have recently been seen, giving you a unique cruising experience every day. Learn about these whales from our local Captains and naturalist crew members. Hear the orca's haunting calls through our onboard hydrophone.

We booked this trip as a schedule filler in between leaving our ship and waiting for the train. The crew members were polite and informative. The captain had many interesting details about the town and we loved hearing about the wildlife and learned a lot about the Orcas. We saw several pods and one came pretty close in front of the boat. We even saw one breach. I will say this is a very large group of over 100 people and a very large boat. This made it slightly harder to get pictures and get close to the whales. Our captain was very respectful of the wildlife. I just personally prefer smaller groups whenever possible.

Had a fantastic time going on the 4 hour boat ride. We saw a mom and calf humpback and got in 3 pods of at least 20 orcas. The crew was top notch. A family member got to feeling sea sick about 2 hours in - they could not have been better to help him overcome. Overall a very memorable trip. The seas were rough that day, but the viewing was top notch.

Great trip. Lots of wildlife including Orcas and humpback whales! Would highly recommend for an excursion out of Seward.
