Full-day Northwestern Fjord cruise in Kenai Fjords National Park
4.9· 341 reviewsFrom ₹33,320Eight and a half hour cruise through Northwestern Fjord — wildlife sightings including whales, sea lions, and icebergs, with a deli lunch included.
“This cruise was a standout experience during our two-week trip. The smaller boat offered a more intimate setting compared to other tours. We encountered a wealth of wildlife and birds, with the crew expertly identifying them and sharing insights about the natural history. They also took our photos, provided lunch, and even gathered glacier ice for glacier margaritas. While we brought binoculars, they were available on board too. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the superpod of killer whales. They surrounded the boat, swimming and breaching, and the crew set up an underwater microphone for us to hear their vocalizations. It was truly one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. This activity is essential if you're visiting Seward.”— 404kelseyp on the Full-day Northwestern Fjord cruise in Kenai Fjords National Park tour

“What an incredible day! We opted for the 7-hour tour, which I initially thought would be lengthy, but it went by quickly. The ride was comfortable, and we spotted orcas from a distance (I wish we could have gotten closer), along with humpback whales, otters, puffins, sea lions, eagles with their chicks, and impressive glaciers. The glaciers and the views throughout the day were exceptional. I highly recommend this experience. We were fortunate to reschedule our original stormy day trip to the next day at no extra cost.”— Kgpayette on the Flexible Kenai Fjords National Park cruise from Seward tour

Wildlife and glacier cruise in Kenai Fjords National Park
4.9· 1783 reviewsFrom ₹25,983Six-hour boat tour from Seward, featuring Aialik Bay and glaciers, with on-board wildlife narration and lunch included.
“I wholeheartedly endorse the 6-hour sea life cruise with lunch. We arranged this activity independently before our cruise, and it was a fantastic choice. We encountered numerous bucket list animals, including otters, sea lions, two puffin species, mountain goats, a pair of bald eagles, and even humpback whales right outside the Seward harbor, including a mother and baby. The lunch consisted of a hearty Kaiser roll filled with generous slices of lunch meat, lettuce, and tomato, along with a bag of chips, a power granola bar, and a soft drink. We also treated ourselves to a spicy Bloody Mary and a Glacier Margarita featuring chunks of glacier ice from the Ailik Glacier that we witnessed calving. This was truly an incredible experience. We viewed Holgate Glacier from a distance but got up close to Aialik Glacier, where we witnessed around 6 or 7 calving events within 20 minutes. It was fantastic! Ice was collected and added to our cocktails for the return trip. Additionally, the prices for food and drinks on board were quite reasonable compared to most Alaskan venues. The crew was attentive, assisting passengers who felt uneasy, answering questions, and even bringing drinks to our table from the bar. There were various groups on board, including families, young couples, and retirees. We traveled 101 miles on Alaskan waters. It's an amazing experience—book it, you won't regret it.”— Catharine M on the Wildlife and glacier cruise in Kenai Fjords National Park tour
