Overview

Travel to remote areas in Kenai Fjords National Park on this full-day adventure cruise. Ideal for photographers, birders, and whale-watching enthusiasts, this 8.5 hour cruise explores the untouched area of Northwestern Fjord in Kenai Fjords National Park. This cruise travels with a smaller group for a more intimate cruising experience, providing the best opportunity for up-close views of wildlife and glaciers. A full day on the water allows the captain plenty of time to seek out the best wildlife viewing opportunities in the area, home to humpback whales, orca whales, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters, and many types of seabirds. You will spend time in front of the impressive Northwestern Glacier, an actively-calving tidewater glacier. A deli lunch is included.

Itinerary

  • Resurrection Bay (Pass By)

    This adventure cruise is the only small-vessel cruise that explores the remote, glacier-carved Northwestern Fjord in Kenai Fjords National Park. Ideal for photographers, birders, and whale-watching enthusiasts, this 8.5 hour cruise departs from the Seward Harbor 360 Hotel dock 8:30 a.m. and returns at 5:00 p.m. The cruise will travel through Resurrection Bay, Kenai Fjords National Park, the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, Cape Resurrection, Granite Pass, Harris Bay, and into the spectacular Northwestern Fjord. Due to the vessel size and the cruise length, children under 12 are not suitable on this cruise.

  • Kenai Fjords National Park (Pass By)

    Narrated by our knowledgeable, experienced captain and crew, guests have the unique opportunity to explore remote, untouched areas of Kenai Fjords National Park with a small group. Depending on sea conditions and wildlife-viewing opportunities, the captain’s route to Northwestern Fjord can vary from day to day. After cruising through Resurrection Bay, you will explore the Chiswell Islands (part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge) or Cape Resurrection, home to thousands of nesting seabirds, Steller sea lions, and other wildlife. The cruise will then enter Harris Bay, where you will be greeted with views of beautiful hidden coves, rugged mountains, and possibly feeding whales. Once we enter the virtually untouched and untamed Northwestern Fjord, look for the numerous alpine glaciers nestled high on the cliffs. You will visit Northwestern, Anchor, and Ojive Glaciers at the end of Northwestern Fjord. You will spend time in front of the glacier to watch for glacial calving.

  • Bear Glacier (Pass By)

    Cruise through Resurrection Bay, the Gulf Of Alaska, and Harris Bay in search of wildlife such as humpbacks, killer whales, sea lions, harbor seals, seabirds, and more.

Highlight of our trip with wonderful wildlife viewing

Published on Sep, 2024

We did the six hour boat trip, which I think was the perfect length of time. We got lucky with some beautiful sunny and calm conditions and were able to see lots of wildlife, including sea otters, Stellar sea lions, puffins, Muirs, Dall's porpoise, and even a humpback who hadn't migrated south yet. It was very cool to see the glacier as well. The boat was very comfortable and you are able to sit at seats around a table inside to stay warm whenever you want and then head out on the deck when wildlife is spotted. Definitely bundle up, it is always colder out on the water when the boat is moving and you have a breeze! Sandwich lunches leave a bit to be desired, but I did appreciated the brownies they gave us at the end :)

Must do!

Published on Sep, 2024

Fantastic tour company. Seas were rough but they knew in advance and warned everyone before departing to take motion sickness medication. Great info provided throughout the cruise, and they went out of their way to search for wildlife. The boat captain was incredible, getting the large boat around, between and up so-close-you-could-touch-it landscapes. Crew was very knowledgeable and friendly, you could tell they love what they do. Highly recommend this company and would book another trip with them if in the area again.

Northwestern Fjord Cruise

Published on Sep, 2024

We did the Northwestern Fjord Cruise and would highly recommend. Justin and Zach did a phenomenal job keeping us informed of wildlife sightings along the way. We saw Orcas, Stellar Sea Lions, Sea Otters, Puffins and more. We felt safe the entire ride and were very pleased with the overall experience. The boat never felt overcrowded and there was space inside for everyone if one wanted.

What views!

Published on Sep, 2024

Great tour. Orcas, seals, puffins, mountain goats and glaciers. The captain and crew take good care of their guests. The captain also makes sure to take his time at sightings so everyone gets a viewing. It was a great day.

Awesome tour

Published on Aug, 2024

Great tour. The staff was knowledgeable and the food was great! We saw an Orca, 2 hump back whales, puffins and seals
