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.

Bear Glacier

View Bear Glacier, the Harding Icefield's largest glacier within Kenai Fjords National Park.

Thumb Cove State Marine Park

Thumb Cove is one of Resurrection Bay's most picturesque locations, featuring spectacular rock faces, waterfalls and views of cirque glaciers in the distance.

The entire trip ,right from the start. The captain backed the boat out of a sardine birth. He was very engaging and knowledgeable about the whole area we were in. His boat handling skills are 2nd to none. The crew was courteous and professional. The fresh cookies were a very nice touch. All in all it was a very engaging experience. I look forward to going again. Thank you for a wonderful day. Stay safe and healthy.

We were a party of 5 adults and took this tour April 2nd. We had a fantastic time on this tour. The captain was phenomenal and the staff was incredible as well. On the boat as well as in the store and check in. Lunch is served early in the cruise as well as a warm cookie later. We had perfect weather and saw everything that was mentioned except the whales but that was a long shot so early in the season. The only things they don’t offer is assigned seating so get there early for the line if possible. Very happy with this tour company.

This was such a fun and educational experience. We learned a lot about the wildlife and the landscape from the captain and crew. They were all experienced and knowledgeable, and if someone asked them something they didn’t know, they would go find out and come back with an answer. The captain knew just the right spots to go to for us to see as much wildlife as possible in late March. We saw porpoises, resident orca wales, sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, bald eagles, dall sheep and one ‘stray’ humpback whale. He stayed in an area long enough to have multiple sightings and let everyone get their photos. Lots of interesting landscape information. So worth the money!
