Welcome to Expeditions Northwest!
We are a locally- and family-owned small-group whale, wildlife, and glacier tour company out of Seward, Alaska!
We look forward to showing you our home which we truly love. Beat the crowds with our tours and glide through the emerald waters within glacially-carved fjords, and experience some of the most epic views and majestic wildlife in Alaska
Our premier tour, this seven-hour cruise offers plenty of time to get to the tidewater glaciers of Aialik Bay or on occasion, Northwestern Fjord. Humpbacks, killer whales, sea lions, harbor seals, bald eagles, puffins, sea otters, and more can be encountered on this trip. Our boat cruises at 25+ knots, allowing us to spend more time with wildlife and enjoying the scenery of the national park. Complimentary coffee, water, and snacks are available on board!
This tour departs the Seward Small Boat Harbor daily at 8am, returning at around 3pm Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend.
$349 per person, plus taxes and fees.
