A national park in Alaska? You can bet it’ll be worth a visit.
Kenai Fjords isn't your average national park. With glaciers, dramatic coastlines, woodlands and incredible wildlife encounters, it's truly a natural paradise. But what else would you expect from the state nicknamed the Last Frontier? Take a step further with tours through Kenai Fjords National Park to discover the best of the Alaskan wilderness. From hiking to dog sledding, and kayaking to wildlife cruising, we've got a way to experience all that Kenai Fjords has to offer.
Kenai Fjords National Park highlights
Explore Exit Glacier
Exit Glacier is one of Kenai Fjords’ most impressive sites. Only a short drive from Seward, this epic icy blue cascade is one of the only accessible glaciers in the world. We’ll even take you up close and personal – so close you can hear the noises it makes. Harding Icefield is over 1800 square kilometres of thick ice formations that once covered a good majority of Alaska and the Exit Glacier is only a fraction of what there is to explore now that it’s no longer just ice.
Cruise around the Fjords
The Kenai Peninsula is truly epic. Natural formations such as sea caves and arches dot the coastline, native birds soar overhead and marine life thrives below. And there’s no better way to explore it than on a cruise. Look out for sea otters, puffins, sea lions, orcas and, if you’re really lucky, maybe a humpback whale or two. If boats aren’t your thing, you can still marvel at the views and look for wildlife from the shores of the national park.
Hike the Harding Icefield
Lace-up your boots, pack your bags and charge up your camera because there’s a trail to trek. No matter your desired hiking style, whether it’s for 19 minutes or nine hours, get your fill while in the majestic Kenai Fjords. On the famous Harding Icefield hike, wrangle rocky formations, steep inclines and uneven terrain (sometimes in a variety of mother nature’s weather) to be greeted by snowy mountain tops, glacial remnants from the ice age and above-the-treeline vantage points of the great Alaskan outdoors. And it gets even better because our included hikes are all run by experienced guides, so you can really just take a back step and enjoy the view.
Sojourn through Seward
Only a stone’s throw from Kenai Fjords National Park is the cosy town of Seward. Seward is one of Alaska's oldest communities and a great launching pad for exploring the Fjords. However, its lively art scene, boutique shops and bustling harbour are well worth hanging around for. You could also visit the Alaska SeaLife Centre, a public aquarium and permanent marine mammal rehabilitation center.

What an amazing trip! Alaska is beautiful and this is a great way to see a small slice of it the best way possible, getting out and being active! If you just sit on a bus, you're going to miss the best parts. Highly recommend!

Travis our leader was exceptional and made this trip extra memorable. Seeing Alaska with this tour allowed us to go deeper and truly experience it. The views were breathtaking even on a drive, the food was 20/10, the accomodations were MUCH better than expected, and activities were so fun! Wish the trip could have been longer!

The Alaska hike, bike and kayak tour was just what I needed! The amazing mountain and sea views took my breath away and we saw moose two different times! Our tour guide was passionate about being in the outdoors and educating us all along the way.
