They provided high quality waders and boots (Simms and Patagonia) to make sure we would be comfortable on the river. They really do more than "put you in boat", with high level knowledge of the area we left early to get to a good fishing spot where the salmon were running. Dallin was our guide and he was amazing! With super high energy, zest for life, and a passion for fishing, he made our day so enjoyable. Our favorite part was when we all caught salmon and he was sprinting up and down the river with nets helping us bring in fish. It was so much fun. Book with them!!!

They served lunch which was burrito (choice of either southwestern chicken or vegetarian) and a few hours later a warm chocolate chip cookie. The staff also went around to show some animal collection, helped us locate the animals that were being pointed out by the captain, took our photos, answered questions, ensured our safety and even fished a chunk of ice near the glacier and let people touch and have photos with it. We saw many animals including whales, orcas, sea otters, sea lions, different birds including puffins, bald eagles, etc. We went close to glaciers. The captain was very knowledgeable. The 6-hour cruise was memorable! For the most part the waters were calm; there were certain areas that were rough. Even then, we were told that the water was calmest when we visited on that day in June. For some who have have motion sickness, bringing a medication can be helpful (though I think they also sell some on board) though we did not need any. Layering is still the key with an outer shell that is waterproof in case it rains. Though not necessary really, binoculars can enhance the experience. Would definitely recommend!

The Captain stopped several times during the trip to view the wildlife giving everyone on board ample opportunity for pictures as well. Would highly recommend this tour or check out their other tours as well.

Baby eagles, black bear, big rainbows, Dolly Varden and Sockeye salmon. What a treat! What a trip! Thank you John and Heather. What a team! Best guided fishing trip ever. As an added bonus, John got my wife fishing and she experienced success. This will change my life forever. Thanks again, Greg and Lindy

As a saltwater angler the drift boat/indicator fishing techniques were new to me, but Mike's instruction got me up to speed quickly and we were catching fish right away.

His skills managing the boat and 2 anglers battling fish were also impressive.

Our group ranged in age from 18-84 and each guide kept us captivated and wanting to know more. The 18 year olds were reciting things they had learned throughout the remainder of our trip in Alaska. Rob was an amazing fishing guide for 3 days for the other part of our group. The most amazing part (for me) was the amazing food, especially the dinners. Everything was creative and so delicious. The cabins are comfortable with black out curtains. Sitting on the deck above river and relaxing was the perfect way to spend every evening. The only disappointment was that the sauna was broken during our visit. Guess we'll have to come back when it is repaired!

Informative with all the sights. We were on the Express. Good size for the tour to the glaciers. Easy to move around and great comfortable window seats with tables. Served salmon chowder, warm cookies and full bar. Food service is swift and timely to make sure guests are able to enjoy the phenomenal sights. Only problem was the cleanup of food and drinks while we were out at the stern -- was so fast, my partially enjoyed Bloody Mary was thrown away. I'd ask the staff to leave drinks alone when cleaning up. We saw amazing BLUE glaciers, some seals, waterfalls and epic scenery. I highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful day out exploring the glaciers and wildlife of Kenai Fjords National Park…read more We came pretty late in the season, but they were still offering their full day National Park cruise. As can be the case in the later season, it was raining nearly the entire time we were on the cruise. But we had come prepared with rain gear, and while it would've been nice if it had been more sunny and less foggy, we still had an incredible time. We got to see some glaciers, including the Harding Icefield - which was pretty cool since we hiked up to it the following day from another direction. So much wildlife to see - orcas, puffins, seals, bald eagles... Even though the weather wasn't the best, we still had great animal sightings. All the staff were so incredibly kind and friendly. The tour included lunch. Felt like the lunch was the weakest link of the tour - food could've been a bit better - but all things considered, I wasn't going on the cruise for the food. Towards the end of the cruise, they were able to get some of the glacier ice into the boat and had glacier ice margaritas for sale. Really good price - I believe they were $7 each. The margarita was good, but the ice was incredible. Overall, it was a fantastic experience exploring this portion of the national park. Would highly recommend!

We had exceptional weather (our guide even said the most rare thing we saw was the top of the mountain range) and it made for a great trip. We saw sea otters, mountain goats (from afar), harbor seals, bald eagles, jellyfish, and were able to follow a pod of orcas for an hour! Our guide was amazing - she was able to help us identify the pods and tell us their story - as well as she had great knowledge of the area, history and all the wildlife we saw.
