Our full day small boat whale watching, wildlife viewing and glacier tour will be one of the most exciting and spectacular days you'll spend in Alaska. Our small group will venture deep into Kenai Fjords National Park for an intimate Alaska natural history experience. Unlike the big boat tours that can have 150+ people onboard all attempting to see what is going on, our boat seldom has more than 18 people onboard. With our small group everyone gets an excellent view. We take extra effort so you will never miss that photo opportunity of a lifetime.

Our small boat wildlife glacier cruises has a very flexible tour route. We tailor the route to match the desires of the group on board. Spend more time out, and see more of what you've come to see. If you're a birder or wildlife photography our small boat wildlife tours offers the flexibility that the big boats can not offer.

Kenai Fjords National Park is a photographer's paradise. With years of experience, we will show you Kenai Fjords best kept secrets. You will see the calving tidewater glaciers, seals, Steller sea lions, porpoises, sea otters, and on the majority of trips we see whales. We will stop for lunch in front of a calving tidewater glacier, giving you ample time to witness and photograph the face of the glacier as mammoth pieces of ice crash into the sea
