Description

The 6-Hour Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise ticks all the Alaskan boxes: wildlife, scenery, and glaciers! This incredible cruise will take you and your family through Kenai Fjords National Park along the best route for picturesque views and wildlife sightings. Where else can you get this close to a tidewater glacier and also see whales, sea otters, sea lions, bald eagles, and more? You’ll be surrounded by stunning waters, towering landscapes and peaks, and some of the most stunning glaciers in Alaska. This tour is fully narrated by knowledgeable captains who will make sure you don’t miss a moment of incredible sights!

You’ll check in for your cruise at the Harbor 360 Hotel and board your vessel on the dock directly behind the hotel! Once onboard, make yourself comfortable in either the heated inside cabin or outside viewing areas. Take advantage of the complimentary binoculars and get ready for your once-in-a-lifetime adventure! A complimentary deli lunch will be provided on board, and other snacks, beverages, and full-bar drinks are available to purchase, too. 

The captain will guide you through Resurrection Bay to the Gulf of Alaska and Aialik Bay. You’ll see Bear Glacier (the largest in Kenai Fjords National Park!), Holgate or Aialik Glacier, Chiswell Islands, and Bird Rookeries. This “Captain’s Choice” route may vary based on the captain’s knowledge of wildlife in the area that day, which makes this experience even more special. Keep your eyes open for glacial calving around the tidewater glacier, where large chunks of the glacier fall into the water! And don’t worry, the captain will be sure to direct your sight to all the exciting events happening around you. Humpback whales may make an appearance, along with sea lions, puffins, and harbor seals, so don’t forget your camera!

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to see such spectacular sights aboard the 6-Hour Kenai Fjords National Park! It’s an experience you won’t forget!
