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.

Thoughtful and well-planned itinerary, lodging was comfortable, activities were enjoyable, good mix of time spent together as a group and exploring independently. Our guide was a joy to spend the week with as well. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Best of Alaska did not disappoint! Our tour guide was exceptional and the venues were beautiful. We were fortunate to have unusually good weather and were able to see wildlife in their natural surroundings. The glacier cruise was a highlight, not be missed!

Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience the true beauty of Alaska. I would also recommend the optional flight. Words can't describe it.
We had an awesome tour guide which enchanced the overall trip but from what I've heard on Intrepid, their guides are always knowledgeable and helpful.

I highly recommend the Alaska Adventure: Bike, Hike, and Kayak level 3. The 20 mile bike ride was fairly flat with a few hills. Most of the hikes were between 2 to 3miles in length, but the 10.5 hike into Denali was more than I expected. Our guide took his time though, so no one ever really felt left behind if you had to walk more slowly. The Kayaking was amazing and so was the little hike in the rainforest. I loved traveling in the van with a small group of 10 and all of the people in our group were very friendly and fun. It was great for my husband to just be a passenger in the van and enjoy the scenery rather than driving and parking. The hotels were great. The food was simply 3 breakfasts provided by the hotels. The tour provided 2 lunches, but the rest of the meals we were on our own. Plan on an additional $50 a meal for those you have to pay for on your own. I will absolutely do another Intrepid trip. It was great!!!
