Kenai boat tour: 6 hour or 8.5 hour tour?

[quack2]

For those of you who may have done both tours, is the longer tour worth it from the standpoint of wildlife viewing?  I've done the 6 hour tour several times and have really enjoyed it.  I'm considering doing the 8.5 hour trip when my cruise ends in Seward in late June.

We take a small boat out of Seward that is called Alaska Saltwater Tours and it is 9 hrs. I have gone with them a couple of times and have another tour booked for July. It is amazing and you will see tons of wildlife. They also take you to a glacier. Small amount of people so it is more expensive but believe me it is a much better experience then the large boats.

I always recommend the longer trip.  The more time spent on the water = more wildlife viewings!

I agree with @disneyochem . The longer time on water, the potential for more wildlife viewings.
