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.

Awesome boat cruise! We saw plenty of wildlife. We had a great lunch. There was plenty of narration. Check in was a little chaotic with everyone, maybe have some line or ropes to guide people. Please let people know about your overflow parking with shuttle. Great gift shop. Some good stops to see glaciers. It is a 6 hr cruise. Wonderful crew with great customer service, even when the water got choppy.

This tour was AMAZING! We saw all the big items on an Alaskan wildlife cruise and more. Our captain and crew worked to make the trip so enjoyable. We spent about 30 minutes in the midst of a resident Orca pod with so many photo opportunities. We saw a mother humpback whale with her calf, otters, transient orcas, stellar sea lions, a mother bear and her cub in addition to see and hear the glacier calf. This is a must do if you are in the area. This crew and company are definitely 5 star.
