Itinerary

Resurrection Bay

4 hours

We’ve been exploring the magic of Kenai Fjords since 1974—we’re leaders, trail-blazers and the most experienced company in the area. From the waters of Resurrection Bay to the distant fjords and glaciers, a lifetime of passion and adventure comes together with every tour.
Kenai Fjords National Park

Passing by

Your adventure in Kenai Fjords begins at the harbor in beautiful Seward, Alaska. Check in at our central office and enjoy the sights and sounds of the lively waterfront. When it’s time to board, head down the dock to your vessel, where you’ll be greeted by our team of deckhands.

The journey begins as you sail out of the Seward harbor—watch for the resident bald eagle and seals! From here, different tours take different directions. As Resurrection Bay opens into the rugged Gulf of Alaska, our exploration into Kenai Fjords National Park deepens.

No matter the tour you choose, you’ll have plenty of wildlife-watching opportunities, see stunningly craggy coastlines, meet our enthusiastic and knowledgeable team of deckhands, learn and discover along with our passionate captains and explore the majesty that is Kenai Fjords.
Bear Glacier

Passing by

View Bear Glacier, the Harding Icefield's largest glacier within Kenai Fjords National Park.
Thumb Cove State Marine Park

Passing by

Thumb Cove is one of Resurrection Bay's most picturesque locations, featuring spectacular rock faces, waterfalls and views of cirque glaciers in the distance.
