Itinerario
Nel Kenai Fjords National Park, oltre la metà della massa è coperta dall'enorme Harding Icefield, un blocco di ghiaccio di mille piedi che risale all'ultima era glaciale. L'Harding si riversa in tutte le direzioni sotto forma di ghiacciai. Alcuni si estendono verso nord-ovest nelle aspre colline della penisola di Kenai. Altri, cinque per l'esattezza, arrivano fino al mare lungo la costa scoscesa del Golfo dell'Alaska.
L'Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge comprende 2.400 isole, promontori, rocce, isolotti, guglie e scogliere ed è noto per la sua abbondanza di uccelli marini.
Naviga attraverso la Resurrection Bay mentre il nostro capitano ti guida attraverso il Parco Nazionale dei Fiordi di Kenai.
Fai attenzione agli uccelli marini, alle cascate e ai ghiacciai sospesi a Thumb Cove
Visita uno dei due spettacolari ghiacciai di marea, Aialik o Holgate. Il ghiacciaio Aialik è circondato da ripide scogliere, fitte foreste e imponenti cime montuose. I visitatori possono assistere a spettacolari eventi di parto mentre pezzi di ghiaccio si rompono e si schiantano nell'oceano. Tieni d'occhio le foche del porto.

I visitatori possono assistere a spettacolari eventi di parto mentre pezzi di ghiaccio si rompono e si schiantano nell'oceano. Anche se rari, gli orsi neri sono stati avvistati sulle spiagge di Holgate Arm

I am so happy I booked this boat tour with Kenai Fjords! After our 7 day cruise from Vancouver to Seward, where I spotted nothing from the ship (others saw whales but I didn't), I was bummed until I went on this boat tour. Almost immediately, we spotted orcas! Then 2 different humpback whales (including a fluke), puffins, sea otters, sea lions, a fast moving porpoise and the piece de resistance... A huge glacier! We got so close! The crew fished a piece of glacier ice out of the water and we got to hold it. I even had a glacier ice water! The clearest ice you've ever seen. The boat captain and crew members were so attentive, informative, and fun. Even though my kid got sick on the boat, the majority of people were fine and I didn't think the boat rocked too much. Every time we stopped, our captain made sure to stay for awhile and maneuver the boat for the best viewing of the wildlife. I took 400+ photos. This was the highlight of my 12 day trip to Alaska. The boat also has a great burrito, chips, and salsa for lunch, plenty of snacks/drinks for purchase and some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to end the day. They also held our luggage in their secured room in their office while we were in the tour. They made everything very easy from start to finish.
Thank you for such a wonderful and detailed review! We’re thrilled Kenai Fjords Tours became the highlight of your Alaska trip. It sounds like you had an incredible day with orcas, humpbacks, puffins, otters, sea lions, and that spectacular glacier! We’re especially glad our crew made the experience easy, informative, and fun from start to finish. We hope those 400+ photos bring back great memories for years to come!
Excellent, excellent, excellent tour, captain was very good on history and educating us on the area and sea life and glaciers. The glacier was breath taking so beautiful and blue. Waterfalls were beautiful and sea life was so cool to see in the wild. We saw whales, sea lions, otters, puffins, seals, eagles, lots of birds and some jelly fish. Amazing day. Great tour.

Amazing. Gorgeous scenery. Lots of wildlife. Calving glaciers! Crew was friendly and helpful. Lunch was nice. Captain was full of information. Highly recommend!! Dress warm!

We had an amazing day at sea! In addition to the scheduled sights, we saw bald eagles, sea otters, harbor seals, Dall's porpoises, humpback whales, fin whales, and orcas. We never would have seen many of these incredible animals from land. It was truly a marvelous day!
Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed the incredible wildlife sightings and had a memorable day on the water. Thank you for choosing Kenai Fjords Tours!
We had the most fabulous trip! We didn't board until 11 am, plenty of time to drop off our bags from the cruise. We saw several pods of orcas, humpback whales including a baby showing off, sea lions, a sea otter, lots of birds; bonus sightings were mountain goats, a black bear, and a harbor seal. And, of course, a glacier- our ship came within a quarter mile, very much up close and personal. Captain Shelley was fantastic in narration as well as steering. A chicken burrito was provided for lunch - not too spicy even for a finicky eater. Get the refillable mug for soda, coffee, tea, hot chocolate!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you had such an incredible day and were able to see so much wildlife, including orcas, humpbacks, a bear, mountain goats, and the glacier.

Awesome experience. Crew was wonderful. Some rough seas during the trip, but saw lots of wildlife and the glaciers were amazing.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the wildlife, stunning glaciers, and that our crew could make the trip memorable, even with a few rough seas along the way.
The captain and the team were great and did their utmost to show us the beauty of Alaska. And we were so lucky: lots of Orca on our way forth and back, whole families swimming around our vessel. See lions, sea otters, puffins and seals - it was so awesome!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed such an incredible day on the water and that the wildlife was so abundant. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the captain and crew
Amazing trip with great commentary where necessary. We were independent travellers and not part of a cruise. Initially thought that 6 hours on the water might be too long but was sad when it came to an end. Saw sea otters, a whale, dall's porpoises, sea lions and the highlight was the amazing scenery and the stop at the glacier where we saw chunks falling off (calving). Can't recommend this trip enough. You simply must do it when you are in Anchorage or Seward!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the commentary, wildlife, and the glacier calving. It’s wonderful that the 6-hour tour flew by and left such a lasting impression. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure!
Very good except the rainy weather, could not stand outside to get pictures for more than a minute. Didn't see any whales.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the rainy weather limited your time outside and that you didn’t get to see any whales. We appreciate your comments and hope to provide you with a better experience in the future under sunnier conditions.
