100% money back guaranteed whale sighting. No other company in Seward offers a whale guarantee. Of course we can't control nature, but we are so sure that we will see a whale on this whale watching tour that the boat captain is willing to say that if a whale is not sighted on this adventure your money will be refunded.

Small boat, 6 passenger tour. Join us on these scenic adventures as we encounter whales and other Alaskan wildlife in and around beautiful Resurrection Bay, and Kenai Fjords.

Summer in Alaska is whale season and the waters around Seward are a great place to find whales as well as other wildlife. Humpbacks are a very regular sighting. We also see Killer Whales (Orca) on occasion. No two trips are ever the same, as the captain will customize every trip based on wildlife activity and conditions at the time.

You can choose from 2 departure times a morning departure 8:00am or an afternoon 1:30 pm.

Whale sightings are at the discretion of the captain. Federal law requires a distance of at least 100 yards be maintained when observing protected marine mammals. No attempt will be made by our captains to break these laws.
