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.

Booked a 6 hr cruise with hopes to see whales, puffins, seals and otters, not to mention the glorious glaciers from up close and this trip did not disappoint. Along with Orcas, Humpbacks and those adorable otters, we saw seals and were lucky to have a small pod of porpoises swimming along side our boat for 20 minutes. Views of the Holgate Glacier from up “close” was amazing. The staff onboard was fantastic, lunch was provided and views from anywhere on the boat were excellent. One caveat is if you tend to get seasick, prepare to feel nauseous at some point, even with Dramamine. Swells can be unpredictable. 5stars for the day though and highly recommend.

We went with our sons, ages 16 & 24. They were impressed. The crew started the excursion with some cruise humor, and within fifteen minutes we were already seeing wildlife…seals and whales. The trip was amazing. We saw three species of whales, sea otters, harbor seals, puffins, and more. The crew did an awesome job of taking care of the passengers. The ship was designed to get close to shore, so we saw even more things up-close. We were able to see the Aialik Glacer calve, an uncommon opportunity. The crew even asked the passengers to share their videos. Lunch was chicken/lettuce wrapped in a tortilla, with a bag of potato chips, a granola bar, and a mint. Drinks a week extra, but reasonably priced for a “captive audience.” Passengers received a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie near the end of the six-hour cruise. I would do it again, but would bring extra snacks and bottled water. The six-hour tour was just about right. Be sure to bring a stocking cap, light gloves, and squall or rain gear.
