Unforgettable Kenai Fjords Experience

An incredible day exploring Kenai Fjords. The scenery was spectacular, with stunning glaciers up close, rugged coastline, and plenty of wildlife along the way. The cruise was well organised, comfortable, and the crew were friendly and informative. A fantastic experience and definitely a highlight of our Alaska trip!

Kenai Fjords National Park Glacier & Wildlife Cruise

Carol_B, Sep 2026

HIGHLY recommend this glacier tour!

Captain Tanner and crew were great hosts and made sure to share their knowledge throughout the glacier tour. I really felt like they wanted to make it the best experience for all on board. We really got up close to the glaciers and saw one calving twice. All kinds of wildlife were pointed out, taking us as close as possible to them throughout the trip. I would HIGHLY recommend this as a must do for a trip to Alaska, this cruise can accomodate any age.

Awesome

Joon was our guide from Seward to anchorage. She was so sweet and since it was just my father and I she took us to places we wanted to see that we didn’t get a chance to do before leaving for home. The scheduled stops with this tour were great as well.

Lovely day

Ryan, our guide, was very personable and knowledgeable on many subjects. The transport van was very comfortable. The lunch stop was quite lovely and the seafood chowder was excellent. The scenery along the way was magnificent and the stops at the Exiting iceberg and the Byron iceberg were truly breathtaking. This was a great way to spend the day journeying from Seward seaport to the Anchorage airport. Overall, the tour was quite enjoyable.

One in a lifetime experience

This trip was truly magical, the best excursion our family has ever taken. We had such an amazing time on our boat piloted by an all-woman crew. Our experience was amplified by the impeccable eye of our guide who pointed out a fin whale, jelly fish, and an otter. And of course, seeing orcas for the first time in the wild was a bucket-list experience that we will never forget! 10/10 we just can’t recommend enough!

Alaska Railroad Seward to Anchorage One Way

Seward, Alaska

When you put just know that if you’re coming from Anchorage and going to Seward, please know that the late train I think is the only one leaves at 6 PM so make sure you got plenty of water in our food but other than that it is a great trip if you haven’t done it I suggest you do to it. Book a home rent an Airbnb stay at a hotel. You will not regret it. It was an easy process easy ticket to the train station get on and get off. They have their luggage right there when you were done. It was perfect.

Helicopter Glacier & Dog Sledding Adventure Tour

Alissa_G, Aug 2026

Must do experience!!!

An absolute highlight of our trip to Alaska! The glacier flight up to the camp was breathtaking, offering stunning aerial views of the landscape. Once we landed on the snow, the energy of the dogs was incredible. The mushers were highly knowledgeable, passionate, and took excellent care of the dogs. Getting to drive the sled on real glacier snow in the middle of summer was an unforgettable, bucket-list experience. We also loved cuddling the puppies back at the kennel. If you are visiting Seward, this tour is worth every single penny.

Finally got to see the real Alaska!

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.

Full Day Kenai Fjords National Park Northwestern Cruise

Bonnie_G, Jul 2026

High Five Experience

What an amazing experience we had with Capt. Justin and First Mate Jack! They brought us to so many beautiful bays and majestic views, as well as shared their enthusiastic and knowledgeable information for birds, sea mammals and all the wonderful sights around us. We were fortunate enough to enjoy a mostly sunny day with sightings of humpbacks, puffins, sea otters, seals, sea lions, eagles and so many sea birds. We had up close encounters with the Northwest Fjord and several majestic waterfalls. Best of all - we were so lucky to watch an Orca surface and swim around us for nearly a half hour! I would highly recommend this 8-hour true Alaskan experience and this wonderful, personable team. Thank you Justin and Jack!

Amazing glacier calving

This is one of my favorite things we did on our month long trip to Alaska. I love glaciers and this is my favorite that we saw on our trip. Watching the calving was incredible. We got so close to it. We also saw whales breaching, puffins, bald eagles, seals, and sea lions.
