Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on the Kenai Fjords Orca Quest Cruise?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but it's more suitable for kids aged 6 and up. They’ll enjoy the whales and the educational aspect more at that age. Just make sure to keep an eye on them since the boat can be a bit rocky in certain areas. Also, the crew is super friendly and great with kids!

Q: Do they offer any rescheduling options if the weather is bad?

A: Yes! If the weather is really bad and the cruise can't go, you can reschedule for a different date without any extra fees. They'll reach out to you if they need to cancel. Just make sure to check your email the day before your scheduled trip for any updates.

Q: What should I wear for the Orca Quest Cruise? Is it chilly out there?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can be chilly on the open water, especially if you're cruising early in the morning or late in the evening. A windbreaker or waterproof jacket is a must. I'd also recommend wearing comfortable shoes since you'll be on your feet a lot. And don't forget sunglasses for glare off the water!

Just got back from the Kenai Fjords Orca Quest Cruise!

OMG, the Kenai Fjords Orca Quest Cruise was an unforgettable experience! We saw multiple orcas and even caught a glimpse of a couple swimming together. The crew was super knowledgeable and shared so many cool facts about the whales and the area. The hydrophone was a highlight—I could hear the orcas calling each other! Worth every penny, and it felt great to support a local tour company. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Seward!

Considering gifting the Orca Quest Cruise to my parents!

My parents are always looking for new adventures, and they love marine life. Thinking about gifting them the Kenai Fjords Orca Quest Cruise for their anniversary. Has anyone done it? What did you think? Any tips on making it extra special?
