Fox Island Tours and Tickets

We saw many whales, both humpback and Ocra. Also, sea otters, see lions, porpoises and many birds. Glacier viewing was fairly close, a lot closer than the cruise ship last wek.

I cannot recommend this tour enough. Amazing captain/narration very focused on safety and education, great crew, good lunch and drinks available for purchase, and the meal at Fox Island was very good. They are clearly very responsive to the silly minor complaints here as they had many sauces for the lunch wrap (re: prior commenter saying the wraps were dry), a diverse dinner at the Lodge on Fox Island (a full buffet including salad, potato salad, rice pilaf, bread, salmon, steak) and even freshly baked warm chocolate chip cookies on the return journey. The captain’s narration was so good, I felt like I was on a Disney movie tour of Kenai. Drinks (including beer, coffee, mixed liquor drinks) are available for purchase. It was a rainy day at times and my only complaint is that many inconsiderate families took up huge chunks of interior space with no consideration to share. Your ticket buys you one seat inside - act accordingly. I’d encourage the crew to ask passengers to all claim one seat indoors at the start of the cruise to avoid territory battles and kids spread out sleeping over 3-4 chairs by the end of the day - not okay when there is a full vessel full of people who periodically need to come inside from the freezing rain. I would recommend this tour wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Seward!

this was an outstanding trip. we were able to see so much of the land and sea. Fox island dinner was really yummy, though the chicken wrap at lunch was just so so and very dry. highly recommend getting there early to get inside seating. you can always go outside during trip but with the iffy weather get there early to insure inside seats. five star trip for sure, one of our favorite adventures. we saw a bit of everything, whales, orcas, eagles, otters, mountain goats and of course glaciers!
