What To Expect
1
Kenai Fjords National Park
In Kenai Fjords National Park, over half of the landmass is covered by the enormous Harding Icefield, a thousand-foot block of ice that dates back to the last Ice Age. The Harding spills out in all directions in the form of glaciers. Some stretch northwest into rugged hills of the Kenai Peninsula. Others—five of them, to be exact—reach as far as the sea along the craggy coast of the Gulf of Alaska.

This company is awesome! We did the 6 hour National Park tour and it exceeded our expectations. The captain and crew did a great job going out of their way and modifying the tour course to make sure we saw tons of wildlife, including whales, porpoises, otters, etc. Being at the glacier was incredible and we really appreciated that the captain turned off the boat motors so you could hear the glacier moving and cracking. Highly recommend this tour and tour company. You won’t be disappointed if you book with them!

This tour exceeded our expectations in all areas. Ship was clean and comfortable. Captain was very knowledgeable. Crew was polite and helpful. Booking was easy. We couldn't get to Seward on the day of our cruise because of wildfires and were allowed to change to the next day. We saw lots of wildlife. The dinner on Fox Island was very good. Can't think of any negatives.

DO NOT MISS THIS ADVENTURE! After cruising from Vancouver to Seward we took this tour recommended by a friend who used to live here. Best advice ever. Blessed with a warm sunny day we disembarked our cruise ship and a short bus ride to the other side of the port we started yet another fantastic adventure. The wildlife was abundant during this tour. Humpback whales made a brief appearance but the pod of 5 Orca put on a fantastic show for us. Swimming about 100 yards of the starboard side of the boat they turn heading right for us. Taking their time running right up the side then under the boat entertaining all aboard. After 10 minutes or so off they went to share their magnificence with other tour groups. On to the glacier, where we cruised right into the icefield and got incredible views, and waited patiently for some calving to occur. Meanwhile, watching the seals sunbathe and play on their little icebergs was very amusing. On to sealion rock to view these majestic mammals enjoying their day relaxing and enjoying the sunny blue skied day. Back to port everyone thrilled with what we had experienced. The Captain and crew were extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Outstanding job folks.
