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 got to see so many animals and great views on the way to the Orcas. We saw sea lions, whales, Dall's porpoises and sea otters. Once we got to the cove where the Orcas were, it was incredible. We had some pass right by the boat. The young ones were playing and breaching like crazy. What a great day.

Another spectacular experience. This was my family’s 3rd outing with MM and it was great. The crew on the boat is so friendly and helpful, from giving advice to prevent sea sickness if you need it, to helping point out wildlife and spots to see it from. The Captain provides just enough narration to be informative but not too talkative. She stops talking near the wildlife so as not to spook the animal, but will tell you later about the animals. There are snacks and drinks available to purchase plus coffee and water are free. I would recommend Major Marine to anyone. My kids loved it.

We enoyed the tour with our 7 year old daughter. We liked the reserved table system and open seating on the upper deck. Great views of wildlife. Seems like we had a great day if viewing based on staff's comments but they went of their way to make sure everyone got to see the animals they were after. Definitely recommend this tour if you are in the area!
