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.

I had the most amazing time aboard the Aialik voyager out of Seward AK. It was a 6hr cruise and the Captain was so informative. We were able to see so much wildlife including the whales. The Captain was just as excited as were were. Would recommend this cruise highly.

This is a day cruise on a large catamaran hull with two enclosed viewing decks and capability to head outside to view from the open decks. Well organised and everything ran like clockwork. Mostly you are in sheltered waters although it was necessary to cross one area exposed to ocean swell, not that there was more than a marginal increase in movement on our trip. We saw sea otters almost immediately ( several live in the marina) and carried on racking up sightings:humpback whales, orcas, Dahl porpoise, stellar sealions, harbour seals, puffins, even a black bear foraging on a clifftop. Spent a good time at the icefield adjoining a glacier, hauntingly beautiful if a bit chilly. Lunch was included, hefty chicken salad wrap, fresh and tasty, with unlimited help yourself tea,coffee,and hot chocolate. The day was dank and cold, with light rain falling most of the time, but everyone seemed to have a great time and cameras were in constant action. Sensational for all lovers of nature and wild places. Apparently the heating on the top deck is more effective than that on the lower, worth knowing if you feel the cold.

We did the 6 hour cruise to the Kenai Fjords and it was awesome! So beautiful. We saw Glacier, several wildlife including Fin whale, Humpback whale, Seals, Puffins, Black Bear etc. Unfortunately we didn’t see Orcas. We were blessed with good sunny weather and calm waters. Lunch was ok. We booked in advance and was able to save 10%. The cabin was comfortable but we spend most of our time outside. The seats are not assigned so get to the line early and grab a window seat. Take some snacks too.
