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.

This is the best company to travel with, as they have plenty of room (looked like the only boat with a full 360 degree walk-around) for everyone to see the National Park clearly. We could not have picked a better day (beginning of May) to take this trip. The winds were fairly reasonable (9-12 mph out of the West), so at times the water was more rough than desired (Dramamine is a must if you have motion-sickness). The boat crew was incredible at pointing out wildlife and providing information regarding the history surrounding Seward and the Kenai Fjords National Park. Bring multiple layers of clothes, gloves, boots, rain gear, and cash (they sell warm drinks and alcohol on board). Lunch was a chicken wrap, chips, and a granola bar. Three bathrooms located at the back of the boat (I recommend using them at the beginning of the trip). We saw almost every wildlife possible (didn’t see Puffins or Killer Whales). Overall, I would highly recommend this trip to anyone considering exploring this national park.

Sea lions up close, informative staff, excellent narration from the captain throughout the trip. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

The crew was very informative and you could tell they enjoyed what they do. A little crowded for me so I would personally spend the extra money for a private tour next time. But we Saw plenty of wildlife to make it enjoyable.
