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.

Resurrection Bay

Navigate through Resurrection Bay as our captain guides you through to Kenai Fjords National Park.

Thumb Cove State Marine Park

Watch out for seabirds, waterfalls and hanging glaciers in Thumb Cove

Holgate Glacier

Visit either one of two spectacular tidewater glaciers, Aialik or Holgate. Like Aialik, Holgate Glacier is surrounded by steep cliffs, dense forests and towering mountain peaks. Visitors may see spectacular calving events as ice chunks break and crash into the ocean. Though rare, black bears have been sighted on the beaches in Holgate arm

What a wonderful cruise! We were able to see the glaciers calving and had an opportunity to see a humpback whale, sea otters, sea lions, seals, mountain goats and bald eagles. The captain did a wonderful job and the crew was very helpful. Would recommend this trip!

Best tour of this kind ever for us. Great captain! She stayed long enough for everyome to see the animals as well as the glaciers andother things. Her commentary was short concise and interesting. Totally on point. Great staff! The meal was very good and being allowed to grab a second serving was a very appreciated bonus. Stunning stunning stunning glacier! We have been on a couple tours like this in south America and this glacier is so much larger and thicker and more impressive. And well the eholr tour package is just so great. Totally reommend !!

Nice crew. Good narration and the most beautiful scenery ever. We saw lots of sea lions and otters and birds. No whales but is late in season for that. Lunch was so so but it was nice to have a bar and snacks for purchase though very expensive You should really take this tour if you’re in Seward

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the crew, narration, and the stunning scenery—it's truly something special. While whales were elusive this time of year, it’s great you saw plenty of sea lions, otters, and birds.
