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

Great excursion by boat to see the Kenai fjords. Very well attended during all the trip and could see some animals and beautiful landscapes. We could no see whales, but I recommend anyway to take this tour in Seeward. .

Thank you for your kind review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the excursion and appreciated the beautiful landscapes and wildlife you encountered. Wildlife is wild and very unpredictable. While we're sorry you didn’t get to see whales this time, it’s great to know you still recommend the tour.
