The Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge encompasses over 3 million acres of rugged coastal islands, tidal estuaries, and marine waters around the Kenai Peninsula and beyond. Established in 1980, it is home to an array of wildlife including sea otters, puffins, and seals, with dramatic landscapes formed by glaciers and volcanic activity. Visit during the summer months when the weather is milder and wildlife is most active. Kayaking and boat tours offer a closer look at the coastline and its inhabitants, while hiking trails provide stunning views of the refuge's natural beauty. Be prepared for changeable conditions and respect the local ecosystems.

  • Northwestern Glacier & Wildlife full-day tour from Seward

    Northwestern Glacier & Wildlife full-day tour from Seward

    4.8· 151 reviewsFrom ₹32,830

    Eight-hour boat cruise through Kenai Fjords, visiting Northwestern Fjord and its tidewater glaciers, with opportunities to spot diverse marine life.

    It was an amazing day spent in Resurrection Bay. Captain Mark along with his team, Sarah, Casey, and Quinn, were extremely accommodating and friendly. As an Alaskan resident, I love taking visitors on glacier and wildlife cruises, and this one exceeded all my previous experiences. The longer day cruise is absolutely worth the expense, especially with the resident discount. Despite the cloudy and foggy conditions in Seward, we spotted a variety of Alaskan wildlife including eagles, glaciers, otters, harbor seals, whales, puffins, sea stars, and sea lions. It was truly an unforgettable adventure! Captain Mark shared valuable insights from his 30+ years in the area. The food was enjoyable, but I recommend bringing additional snacks and drinks for a longer day. Dressing in layers is essential to fully enjoy the outdoor views, and waterproof clothing is advisable.Kelseycpsalaska on the Northwestern Glacier & Wildlife full-day tour from Seward tour
