What To Expect

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.

Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge

Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge is comprised of 2,400 islands, headlands, rocks, islets, spires and reefs and is known for its abundance of seabirds.

What a fabulous tour! We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather, and saw humpbacks, orcas, sea otters, sea lions, puffins, and so much more, including some calving off the glacier. The boat was clean and comfortable. The captain's narration was informative and well paced. The box lunch was fine, too (chicken & salad wrap, granola bar, and chips with some cookies later). One of our party is in a wheelchair, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. It was a great day on the water, well worth the time spent.

All 6 of us thought it was one of the top things we did while in Alaska (we did a McKinley/Denali glacier landing, drove to Prudhoe Bay, went Halibut fishing, etc.). I have attached some pictures – which don’t do the tour justice. It was a miserable day, a couple other people got sick as it was a little rough, but, once they went downstairs they got better. It was spotty rainy and cloudy all the time, but if you wanted to be inside, it was very warm and comfortable. Seeing the sights from inside was great and when there were humpbacks, orcas, see otters, etc. you could go outside. They also took us by cliffs where we saw all kinds of birds, including Puffins and we saw quite a few eagles. The landscape was great as well, cliffs, waterfalls, arches, sunken islands caused by the earthquake in the 60’s, etc. Seeing the glacier this way was a once in a lifetime experience. We didn’t get to see any major glacier calving, but we did see a small amount of the glacier fall into the water and could hear the booming of glacier several times. It was a great day and worth the money. The people that narrated our trip were great and the cabin stewards were very friendly and helped anyone that needed anything. Highly recommend.

The boat was clean and comfortable and the captain and crew were knowledgeable. We had a beautiful sunny day and saw whales (orcas and humpbacks), sea otters, seals, puffins, an eagle or 2 and beautiful scenery and glaciers.
