Explore the breathtaking wonders of Kenai Fjords National Park on a guided journey through some of its most iconic sites. This curated experience takes you to Aialik and Holgate glaciers, two of the largest tidewater glaciers in the park. Witness the awe inspiring spectacle of massive ice blocks calving into the water and admire the sheer scale and beauty of these glacial giants. Along the way, the pristine waters and surrounding mountains create a serene and unforgettable backdrop, perfect for photography and reflection.
The tour continues to the Northwestern region, where the glacier has receded only within the last century. Here, exposed bedrock and new plant growth reveal the slow return of life to this ancient landscape, with glimpses of the Harding Icefield peeking above the peaks. Frequent breaks allow you to soak in the scenery enjoy a leisurely picnic on a picturesque beach near the glacier, and maintain a comfortable pace while navigating these pristine waters. This adventure offers both awe and relaxation in one of Alaska’s most spectacular natural settings.

Customer Reviews
Everything was excellent from start to finish! The check in process was very easy. There is a waiting room and bathrooms as you wait to board. Keep in mind their check in office is inside of a hotel so it gets busy! Now the cruise itself was breathtaking! The crew was very kind and caring. They talked with every passenger on board and chatted/shared stories which made the whole experience more memorable. We received brochures of all the animals that we could potentially see. The captain went to great efforts to spot and point out any animals he encountered and we saw a ton! From whales, sea lions, sea others, puffins and a ton of Orcas! I am so happy for this once in a lifetime experience!
The crew was excellent — very friendly and attentive throughout the tour. The captain always pointed out where to look and what we were seeing: orcas, seals, sea lions, an eagle, and even an otter. They made sure to slow down or stop so that everyone had a chance to see the wildlife. I also appreciated their drink deal: for $12 you could buy a souvenir cup and get unlimited refills of soda, coffee, and tea. At the end of the trip, we were treated to freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, which was a wonderful surprise. Lunch, however, was a bit underwhelming — just a burrito and chips. For such a long cruise, it would be nice to have a hot meal option, like soup and some protein. Connectivity was also an issue for me. Since I work remotely, being without signal for six hours was stressful. It would be great if the boat were equipped with Wi-Fi, even if paid. The highlight of the cruise was seeing the glacier up close. The crew even brought a piece of glacier ice on board so we could touch it — and even use it in our drinks! Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I would definitely recommend. Just be sure to dress warmly, as it can get quite windy out on the water.
First and most important: we picked an 8 hours tour and for everyone, who have doubts either to take a smaller tour or this one, I would highly recommend to take this one. I was at that position as well, and the lady we met during our trip recommended to take 8 hours, as she took it and she was so impressed.Here are the reasons that might help you: 1. You would have a chance to get way further and closer to the glacier and with that get a better understanding on how big it was and how much of it already melted. 2. The captain of the cruise always have some interesting insights about every part of the way, the cruise is going through. 3. You will see and hear how glacier pieces fall apart. This is magnificent to watch and hear. 4. The wildlife - captain always chasing any wildlife he or anyone on the cruise sees. We were lucky to see the group of whales, who were catching the food. We also were going along with a whale mom and a kid and watching them playing, as well as tried to get a better view of orcas. 5. Yes, I know it might be pricey, but it totally worth every penny! The experience is unforgettable. 6. Besides glacier and wildlife, there are waterfalls, islands and lot more! !! Important part: take some motion medicine, as chasing wildlife might sounds like a fun, but in reality your body might not be that excited of all waves 😅
