Alaska Attractions: Kenai Fjords Tours Part 1

Kenai Fjords National Park Tour

The Kenai Fjords Tours is the original Alaska glacier cruise and tour operator in Alaska’s Fjords National Park. On their tours you will be able to see Alaska’s incredible wildlife and glaciers. Not only will you see the incredible beauty of Alaska, but you will also learn more from the most knowledgeable captains and narrators. Sit from comfortable and spacious cabins as you view glaciers and wildlife like you could not ever imagine just sitting from your home. You have to experience these tours to realize just how beautiful Alaska really is. It might be a little difficult to live in Alaska in some areas, but that does not mean you cannot see firsthand just what this place looks like. The greatest portion of Alaska is inhabitable by human beings; however, Polar Bears, whales, sea lions, sea otters and other forms of wildlife feel right at home here in specific areas of course. These tours give us humans a chance to peak in on the private life of these beautiful and awesome looking creatures. What a cool and refreshing way to spend a vacation!

Kenai Fjords National Park is full of wildlife, alpine and tidewater glaciers. All of these tours are fully narrated by an accredited wildlife interpreter and include a visit to the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, which is home to a large variety of whales, sea lions, sea otters and more.
