What To Expect

Resurrection Bay

We’ve been exploring the magic of Kenai Fjords since 1974—we’re leaders, trail-blazers and the most experienced company in the area. From the waters of Resurrection Bay to the distant fjords and glaciers, a lifetime of passion and adventure comes together with every tour.

Kenai Fjords National Park

Your adventure in Kenai Fjords begins at the harbor in beautiful Seward, Alaska. Check in at our central office and enjoy the sights and sounds of the lively waterfront. When it’s time to board, head down the dock to your vessel, where you’ll be greeted by our team of deckhands. The journey begins as you sail out of the Seward harbor—watch for the resident bald eagle and seals! From here, different tours take different directions. As Resurrection Bay opens into the rugged Gulf of Alaska, our exploration into Kenai Fjords National Park deepens. No matter the tour you choose, you’ll have plenty of wildlife-watching opportunities, see stunningly craggy coastlines, meet our enthusiastic and knowledgeable team of deckhands, learn and discover along with our passionate captains and explore the majesty that is Kenai Fjords.

We had an absolutely amazing tour with this company! We did the Northwestern Glacier tour (7 hours) and would highly recommend. It was beautiful the whole way and we saw a ton of Wildlife, including bald eagles, seals, orcas, a humpback whale, and lots of puffins!! The glacier we got to get up close to was truly incredibly, and we got to sit there for a while listening and watching. Not only was the wildlife and scenery amazing, but our crew was fantastic. Captain Mark is so knowledgeable and experienced and we learned a whole lot on our tour. Definitely a major highlight! I would definitely recommend bringing rain gear and warm clothing so you can enjoy some time out on the decks of the boat, that was the best part and how we saw so much wildlife. But the inside of the boat is nice and cozy for lunch!

We loved this tour ! I was a bit nervous to bring my 2 children (8 and 11) as the other big company does not allow children on its Northwestern Fjord cruise but we all loved it and had a great time ! We saw lots of wildlife - humpback whales, orcas, puffins, otters, harbor seals, sea lions, and dall porpoises. The glaciers were magnificent, the scenery out of this world. The boat was a comfortable ride (seas were calm this day), the staff on the boat were great , the narration was interesting and informative, and the lunch served was pretty good too. Highly recommend , and if not doing a cruise I'd say its a must do - probably our favorite thing we did on the whole trip.

What an amazing cruise! We cruised for 7 hours and got so close to beautiful glaciers and waterfalls. We saw killer whales, a humpback whale, sea lions, seals, a sea otter and puffins. Our captain gave us so much information about the area and animals and was quite entertaining. I was able to capture some of the wildlife on my phone but my husband’s camera was able to zoom in for much closer pictures. The staff was very nice. We highly recommend this tour but you will have to wait until 2023. The captain said yesterday was the last 2022 tour date for this particular cruise.
