Highly recommended, what an amazing crew!

I had a phenomenal experience on this tour with Major Marine Tours. From the start they were incredibly welcoming to everyone on board. It was a rough water day in the gulf, but they were so kind & thoughtful to everyone on board ensuring they were taken care of if they were getting sick. The captain took the smoothest route possible to ensure maximum comfort. It was so appreciated & I know those who felt unwell were extremely well cared for. On the tour we saw so much wildlife! Right out of the harbor we saw a pair of mated eagles. My absolutely favorite thing was seeing a smack of moon jellies & floating over them (I may have shed a tear, they were stunning!). We also saw two black bears on the cliffs, porpoise, seals, sea lions, otters, and mountain goats. We spent 30 minutes at one of the largest glaciers in Alaska & was able to witness it calving several times. On the way to & from we saw several waterfalls & they even dipped us under one! The scenery was STUNNING. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

An Alaska must!

Hands down one of the best things we did in AK. Completely worth your time and money. Saw wildlife, amazing AK scenery, and glaciers.

Notice the seasick and have fun

The guide is pretty nice that he pointed out all the wildlife for us. One thing that is not that delightful is the seasickness. This is an 6 hours tour and many ppl got seasick for a little.
