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 selected the 9-hour Northwest Fjord tour to give use more time on the water for wildlife very and we were not disappointed. This was one of the top activities we did during our almost two week road trip of Alaska. The day was perfect, the captain and crew outstanding and the wildlife incredible. Sea otters, humpback whales (so many we had to simply pass some by), fin whales, puffins, sea lions, seals, eagle, orcas (3 pods coming together) and a lot of other birds. From talking with the crew I discovered one advantage of the longer tour is that the boat is much less crowded. We were about half full as compared to other boats on the water with shorter tours. That meant it was much easier to move about the boat and everyone was more accommodating to taking turns viewing and getting photos to the wildlife. One of our vacation highlights and a highly recommended activity for everyone.

It was worth my 2,500 mile drive to Alaska just for this boat tour. The scenery - particularly the glacial areas - were stunning, and captain Mike and his crew were all fantastic and very knowledgeable. However, the real highlight of the trip was the wildlife - we saw 11 Humpback Whales (1 of which was continually breaching high into the air), 2 Fin Whales and a whole host of puffins, otters, seals and sea lions. This is something that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Wonderful tour with lots of wildlife sightings. We enjoyed many whale sightings including an Orca Pod. It is important to dress for wet weather. Also, some passengers experienced sea sickness in rougher waters but the staff was well equipped and ready to care for them. Food was excellent. Our stop at the waterfall was exciting as well!
