Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Deze 7,5 uur durende Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise vertrekt dagelijks om 9.30 uur en keert terug om 17.00 uur. De cruise zal ongeveer 130 mijl heen en terug reizen door Resurrection Bay naar Kenai Fjords National Park. Aangezien deze cruise de open Golf van Alaska in gaat, wordt het niet aanbevolen voor iedereen die vatbaar is voor bewegingsziekte. Onze Resurrection Bay-cruises van een halve dag zijn veel betere opties als bewegingsziekte een probleem is.
Deze 7,5 uur durende Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise vertrekt dagelijks om 9.30 uur en keert terug om 17.00 uur. De cruise zal ongeveer 130 mijl heen en terug reizen door Resurrection Bay naar Kenai Fjords National Park.
We varen door de beschermde wateren van Resurrection Bay, op zoek naar dieren in het wild en genietend van een spectaculair landschap.
We varen langs Bear Glacier, een gletsjer in Piemonte en de grootste gletsjer in het Kenai Fjords National Park.
Onze volgende stop is Holgate Glacier, een andere actief afkalvende getijdengletsjer. We zullen ongeveer 20 minuten voor elke gletsjer doorbrengen, drijvend tussen de ijsbergen terwijl we kijken naar spectaculaire afkalving.
Nadat we door Resurrection Bay zijn gevaren, zullen we Kaap Aialik (uitgesproken als "I-al-ik) rondlopen in Aialik Bay. Terwijl we Aialik Bay binnenvaren, krijgt u uw eerste glimp van de Aialik-gletsjer, een actieve gletsjer met getijwater. We stoppen voor de gletsjer en kijken uit naar het afkalven, waar grote brokken gletsjerijs afbreken en in het water vallen.
Afhankelijk van het weer varen we naar de Chiswell-eilanden of Cape Resurrection, de thuisbasis van duizenden broedende Alaska-zeevogels zoals papegaaiduikers, drieteenmeeuwen en aalscholvers. De kapitein stopt de boot heel dicht bij de broedgebieden van de zeevogels, wat geweldige fotomomenten biedt. We zullen ook Steller-zeeleeuwenkolonies bezoeken, waar Steller-zeeleeuwen zich verzamelen aan de ruige, rotsachtige kustlijn. Zeeotters, Amerikaanse zeearenden en berggeiten worden ook vaak langs de route gezien.

This particular tour shouldn’t have happened (7/5/2026). The company was PUSHING seasickness medicine as soon as we walked in. Half the passengers were sick in the first two hours, as we experienced a storm causing 6-foot swells. I’ve never seen so many sick bags used. I didn’t get sick, but the entire excursion was ruined by the smell of sickness in the air. It was wet and cold all day. The crew was good, as was the tour's intent. We saw some beautiful scenery and glaciers, we saw whales, otters, and sea lions, plus some seabirds, but for $350 per head, we should have had a great experience rather than one we simply had to survive. I understand this is a family-owned business, and I want to support it. They can't control the weather. However, this was a lost day at sea, and it should have been postponed or canceled. This is the top tour operator in Seward, and they should be more vigilant to ensure a splendid experience.
This was our favorite activity of our entire trip. We got to see so much (humpbacks, orcas, sea otters, puffins, bald eagles and more). Justin and Jack were fantastic. They made it possible for everyone to see everything that was spotted by stopping/slowing down and turning the boat so everyone could see. Their knowledge and enthusiasm was great. They get to do this every day and they were just as excited as we were when wildlife was spotted. I can’t recommend it enough. Worth every penny.
Great day. Would definitely do this cruise again.
In the beginning I wasn't sure if the full-day course (7.5 hours) would be too long, but it turned out to be the best boat tour we ever had. Not only we had seen all the wildlives and glanciers we wanted to see, the crews were also very professional and helpful during the course. Definitely recommended especially if you travel to Seward in summer.
Excellent staff throughout. All team members were pleasant, kind, knowledgeable, and efficient. Even on a rainy, foggy day they worked hard to make the trip positive and very memorable. We saw harbor seals, sea otter, humpback whale, puffins, dolphins, eagles, and big seals. We also stayed near each of the two glaciers for about 20 min. each. The vastness and cool air of the glacier was a humbling experience. The captain also noticed jellyfish mating in a large smack and turned us around to see that. Everyone worked hard to help us see as many animals as possible. Well worth it!
Weather is important, wildlife is rare. Time is sooooo unnecessarily long. If you already seen glacier before this is definitely not the tour for you.
We had terrible weather but the crew was fantastic at keeping spirits up, finding wildlife including whales, seals, and puffins, with sharing information at all the right times. We were warm and cozy and had an excellent trip - the food was good, facilities exceptionally clean, and always felt safe and in good hands!
Great wildlife sightings and an amazing cruise crew made this a memorable experience. It was a bit crowded at times, which made it challenging to find enough space to capture the wildlife in action, but overall it was a fantastic trip.
Excellent excursion! The glaciers were absolutely stunning. Very organized activity, appreciated the attention to detail. Loved the captain’s explanation of everything we were seeing. Would highly recommend to everyone visiting Seward.
Good weather is everything! We were fortunate to have BOTH good weather and luck on our side on Thursday 02-July-2026. Appreciated a designated table for our group. Captain and crew were great throughout. Saw MANY sea animals including the Humpback and Fin Whales, Otters, Sea Lions, Puffin & other birds, and THE Orcas VERY up close - the captain hadn’t seen anything like this in 13 years apparently. The glaciers and views were to die for. Overall, all the stars aligned for an unforgettable tour.
