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

Breaching humpback, Kenai Fjords National Park

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 and snacks are available on board!

Departs daily at 8am. May 25-Sept 1.
$349 per person, plus taxes and fees.

Spring Bay Tours

Coming to Seward earlier in the spring? We offer Spring 3.5hr wildlife and sightseeing trip stays in Resurrection Bay searching for whales and other wildlife closer to home.
May and early June are the best time of the year to view killer whales or orcas in the fjords outside Seward. Sightings are never guaranteed, but are very likely. Make sure your camera is charged and ready!

Complimentary coffee and snacks are available on board!

Departs daily at 9am, May 15-30.

$169 per person, plus taxes and fees.

Private Charters

Want the boat all to yourself? No problem! We can customize trips to fit whatever itinerary you’re looking for. Starting at $2000 for a half day (7 hour) trip, we’re happy to work with you to make your day with us absolutely perfect. Whether it’s an extended birding tour, a whale-specific charter, a photography-focused wildlife adventure, or extra time at the glacier, we’re here to make it happen.
