Need help: Kenai Fjords Tours or Major Marine

Want to do one of these tours - the long one out to Holgate Glacier on 5/30/04. Have read Frommer's stuff and they seem to prefer Major Marine for the advanced seating, food and park ranger on board. Kenai seems pretty good too, but the big thing is that the Toursaver book offers a 2 for 1 coupon, cutting about $125 off the cost for 2. As we are going to be spending a slug of money in Alaska, it would be nice to take advantage of the 2 for 1 if there is not a major difference between the two companies.

Any input/comments would be appreciated.

Thx.

I have been on KFT and was very impressed. You can't go wrong with either but the deal is a deal. Go with the deal. Major Marine has slower boats so it takes a bit longer and some tours aren't offered (Northwestern Glacier and the Aialik with Fox Island). Both, I am told, have excellent narrators and you will not have to pay extra for lunch on KFT (although you won't be able to pig out as on Major Marine--but you shouldn't pig out while on the open seas).

Major Marines only goes about 55 miles, Kenai Fjords Tour goes 110 miles - we decided on the Kenai Fjords tour, even though we can't use the coupon for the time we wanted to go.
