What To Expect

Fox Island

Kenai Fjords Tours is pleased to welcome you to picturesque Fox Island, in the heart of Resurrection Bay. Your exploration of Kenai Fjords National Park is enhanced by a chance to step off the boat, stroll the beach and explore on land. This island is rich in inspiration and character. Once you arrive at Fox Island, head in to our cozy Day Lodge for a sumptuous meal of crab cakes, salads and rolls, which are included in your tour.

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.

Absolutely loved the cruise itself. Saw many animals and enjoyed all the information the captain gave. The food on Fox Island was probably the worst I’ve had. Totally inedible: over cooked salmon, dry mashed potatoes, stale rolls. Please please do something about this. It’s an easy fix! We had many hungry in our group of 12 after this stop and for the rest of the cruise. If you choose this cruise pack your own lunch!!

My family of four (2 kids 13 &15) absolutely enjoyed our day. We all rated it highly. The boat (Glacier Explorer) was clean and well maintained. The staff was attentive and worked very hard to ensure everyone was enjoying the trip. They stopped for animal viewing all the time. We saw a pod of orcas so close you could smell their terrible breath. They had a baby too! Humpback whales, fin whales, harbor seals, stellar seals, puffins, glacier super close. The crew pulled some ice on board for folks to taste. This ship was not overly crowded so we definitely were able to get good views and great videos and pictures. Tips: take Dramamine BEFORE you board!!!! or even better get a prescription patch from the doc before you go. Lots of sick people on the boat even though most of the cruise was super flat and easy. Once you start feeling sick it’s already too late to take Dramamine. Bring snacks and maybe some drinks, lunch was filling and decent, dinner was okay - but unless you want to buy from the snack bar you’ll probably want a snack. Also the $9 unlimited refill cup is a deal. Wear layers. When you’re outside and the boat is cruising it can get chilly. We did okay in long pants, sweatshirts, puffy vests, beanies. Hands in pockets or gloves. But don’t show up in a T-shirt and shorts with no other clothes. Even in July it’s cold on the water. Don’t forget to bring a little cash to tip the crew. They really work hard for the guests. Arrive a little early to pick a good seat. Downstairs by a window is best. Cons: It was a little long at 8 hours. We had some down time mid-day when there wasn’t much animal life to see. We played cards and some of us napped. Dinner was…not great. I compared it to a Hungry man dinner. My kids didn’t complain so that’s a bonus. Salad, coleslaw, rolls, mashed potatoes, corn, and some chicken that may have been microwaved. Three bathrooms on board but I still had to wait a few times to go. All in all we enjoyed it and recommend it for anyone visiting the area. We drive down from Anchorage and the 2.5 hour drive is long but scenic as well.

The captains interpretation of the animals and the history of Seward were awesome. It was a little long and people were taking naps but the crew and captain were great. Fox Island wasn't too great.
