• 354nehaj 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Seaward Hike to Mt. Marathon (Mountain Bowl) I booked a 4 hour Seaward Wilderness Hike Tour (Moderate to Strenuous) with Kenai Backcountry Adventures. I did a lot of excursions in Alaska, and I must say that this hike was the highlight of my entire Alaska trip. Brandon, my tour guide, took me to Mt. Marathon and made it an unforgettable experience. I didn't anticipate the hike to be this hard with a lot of snow and steep elevation. After 2 hours, I was about to give up but Brandon was so patient with my slow pace and continued to motivate the group to hit the bowl for spectacular views. He is also a great photographer (gave me a couple of cool photography tips) and took amazing pics and videos. Safety was never compromised. Throughout the hike, Brandon ensured we are safe and he provided a lot of information about Alaska Wildlife, plants, Seaward town and other things to do in the region. I must say that he has a great sense of humor and knows all the secret trails that are way more fun and less crowded to hike. Downhill, I loved his idea of sliding over snow. Has never experienced before and absolutely enjoyed the experience. I learned about ice climbing that Kenai Backcountry Adventures offers in Winter and Summer season. I am definitely looking forward to experience this excursion with them. Read more Written April 28, 2024
• josephcY2888JP 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles such a fun experience!!! This was so much fun!! I would definitely do it again. It was so cool seeing exit glacier and taking a sweet ride through the Kenai. I would definitely recommend doing 4 hours because the 2 hour tour went by so fast! I wish I could’ve gotten pictures at the Kenai sign, so I’m not sure if that’s something you should ask about before you go to make sure you visit it. But I had a lot of fun. I’d never snowmobiled before and the tour guide taught us well & we were in great hands! Read more Written April 4, 2024

His experience and knowledge was outstanding and we are both biologists. The park is a hidden gem accessible by boat or air only. We flew in and spent the day in the park hiking around. It took awhile for the bears to come out, both black and Brown bears but there were there in full force. I have attached Brandon's excellent pics from that day. Highly recommended!

• Q8170HWheatherb 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Exit Glacier w/guides Ashley and Fred We did the Exit Glacier hike with Kenai Backcountry Adventures. If there were world championships for best glacier hiking guides, Ashley and Fred would definitely podium! 🥇They were safe, adventurous, knowledgeable, and fun! Although we only brought a group of six friends, Ashley and Fred are welcome to expand our friend group to eight in future adventures. As fun as they were, they kept a good pulse on the group, stopping to rest when we needed, and pushing us to explore as well! We checked out crevasses and moulins from above (and below!), wiggled into ice caves where we were rained on by glacier water, and even learned about edible plants and antiseptic mosses while we hiked! After traipsing around all day on crampons with Ashley and Fred, my calves were sore, my feet were numb, and my cheeks hurt from laughing. Would do it again in a heartbeat. The landscape was jaw dropping, and the guides made it so so memorable. Make sure you go with Kenai Backcountry Adventures. You won’t be disappointed. Read more Written September 29, 2023

• ericeO677GN 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Glacial Climbing and Leaving No Trace Fred took my wife and I up on Exit Glacier. It was our first time scaling a glacier. He taught us how to walk on the ice and respect its natural beauty. We saw other outfitters carving steps and modifying the glacier to make it easier for their customers. We thought that was disrespectful. Fred helped us explore the glacier with minimal impact. As a previous Boy Scout and Scout Leader, I appreciated the ‘Leave no trace’ attitude. A once in a lifetime experience. We would do it again, but only with Kenai Backcountry. Thank you for an incredible experience Read more Written September 22, 2023

• pneil344 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Avoid this company - there are better alternatives It is extremely important to do your research before using this company for anything that might be subject to cancellation. They are simply not prepared to deal with it in a reasonable way. Me and my kids had booked a trip to see bears in Lake Clark. I knew that weather cancellation was a real possibility and was prepared for that. Unfortunately, the day of the trip it was canceled due to bad weather. That was disappointing, but out of the control of Kenai Backcountry and also the right thing to do for safety. Before the trip, I got multiple calls from the company asking if I'd bought trip insurance. That should have been my first warning sign. They also mentioned that they'd be moving the type of trip from a land-based one to a boat-based one. Not what I signed up for, but I really had no choice in the matter. After the trip was canceled, I was on my own. I was told to take it up with trip insurance and that they were keeping my payment (which is a substantial amount). Supposedly they issue a "credit" - good luck with that, they don't appear to have any systems to issue or track this credit. I'd avoid this company for bear viewing for many reasons: 1) The distance from Seward to the flight departure is long. If the trip gets canceled at the last minute you have wasted 6 hours of your life. 2) They claim that this "no refund" policy is standard. NOT TRUE. Look at other companies - I've yet to find one that doesn't issue refunds due to weather cancellation, and one even issues refunds if you make it out there but don't see bears! Additionally, the plane charter that they contract with was literally issuing refund checks at the airport to everyone but the Kenai Backcountry customers. 3) This idea of using trip insurance is not that ethical...it appears that they want to keep your money and shift the burden onto an insurance company for their inability to provide service. I would highly recommend not going out of Seward, and I learned a good lesson about digging into the ethics of the companies that I patronize. Only reasons for 2 stars rather than 1 is that I'm glad they put safety first. Read more Written September 1, 2023

Kenai Fjords Tours Safety Promise Guest Information & Reservation Policy

The six-hour tour of the Kenai Fjords National Park was dazzling in a whole new way.

Great tour. Crew was amazing, accommodating, and helpful! Saw lots of orcas, humpbacks, sea lions, otters, bald eagles, puffins and big chunks of ice falling off the glacier! Captain was great at pointing things out and very knowledgeable.

Nothing could have prepared me for the sensory stimulation of this six-hour adventure.

We did the Kenai Fjords National Park Tour with Dinner on Fox Island and had a lot of fun! It was exciting to see the glaciers, and a bunch of wildlife. Crew was also extremely helpful and accommodating.

I booked the (Glacier) dinner cruise and am so happy that we did because it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We saw everything from mountain goats to orcas, breaching humpback whales, sea lions, and glaciers. The captain of the tour was awesome.

My 5 Favorite Experiences In Kenai Fjords National Park

E xploring Alaska’s Kenai Fjords National Park is like journeying back in time to when the Ice Age still reigned supreme and ice covered the world.

Today, much of that ancient ice still remains at the edge of the Kenai Peninsula in a lush but harsh terrain where ice, mountains, and ocean meet. This national park in Seward, Alaska, sweeps over a staggering 607,805 acres of unspoiled wilderness along the southeastern coast of Alaska. The Harding Icefield , a remnant of when ice ages carved out this land, is the largest icefield contained within U.S. borders. It stretches out for 700 miles of miles-thick ice. 

During a hosted trip to Seward , I fell in love with this wild, untamed land. Snow-capped soaring peaks of the Seward Peninsula Mountains always loom in the distance, but the glaciers that make this park so special are what really drew me here. From hanging glaciers to receding and surging ice walls, seeing the massive and awe-inspiring power of how ice continues to shape this land makes one feel humbled.

Exploring the outdoor wonders of Kenai Fjords isn’t the only activity you can enjoy here, however. Hiking, ocean tours, and biking are all popular, but eating local, learning about the indigenous culture, and taking in the local vibes are also a lot of fun.

Although I only had a few days in Seward, here are my favorite experiences in Kenai Fjords National Park.

1. Spot Local Wildlife 

I was hosted by Pursuit Collections , which has a variety of adventures in its Alaska Collection. Being a provider of attraction and hospitality experiences, Pursuit owns and operates Kenai Fjords Tours. Even if I wasn’t hosted by Pursuit, I would overwhelmingly recommend the Northwestern Fjord Tour for the simple fact that it goes further and longer than most of the boat tour operators in the area.

This full-day narrated boat tour brings visitors along the Northwestern Fjord to see three tidewater glaciers, to the little islands that dot the fjord, and along seabird rookeries. Most of Kenai Fjords National Park can only be accessed by the water, so taking a boat tour of this gorgeous land is a must.

On our first day trip, the weather was gray and ominous, promising rough crossings, but the skilled and knowledgeable captain and crew handled it with ease. Along the way, they spotted frolicking sea otters, massive colonies of sea lions, whale spouts in the distance, a pod of killer whales, and the delightful little puffins that call this area home.

We cruised through hidden bays with waterfalls that looked as if they came straight out of the Disney movie Ferngully . We were educated on the life span and awesome power of the glaciers we were almost close enough to touch.

A light breakfast and lunch is included on this tour, but if you need a steaming hot chocolate or a glass of the local brews, the bar is open as well. Oh, and the homemade, gooey chocolate chip cookie at the end of the day tour will probably taste like the best cookie you’ve ever had.

Pro Tip: I don’t care how calm the harbor looks or how beautiful the weather seems, take motion sickness pills before the tour. Our bad weather day made our tour especially rough, but even on calm days, a dozen or so folks end up getting sick each trip. Don’t ruin this special experience with seasickness.

2. Take A Glacier Dinner Cruise

Departing from Seward in the afternoon, this Kenai Fjords Tours evening cruise also starts from Resurrection Bay before gliding deeper into Kenai Fjords National Park to see glaciers up close.

A plated meal of crab cakes, roasted corn, salad, and a dinner roll makes for a nice romantic dinner on board while you gaze at the impossibly deep blue of the glaciers, watch whales breach in the water, or see otters playfully float alongside.

Pro Tip: Definitely layer up, even in the summer. The wind is staggeringly cold, so a hat and gloves can definitely make this cruise more comfortable, especially if you spend most of your time out on deck watching the beautiful lush scenery go by.

3. Hike The Exit Glacier

As the only glacier in the park you can hike to, Exit Glacier is one of the 35 glaciers that pour over the Harding Icefield. It earned its name by being the exit point for the first recorded crossing of the Harding Icefield in 1968.

There is a series of trails to access the Exit Glacier. The first is an easy-to-moderate 1-mile hike to the Glacier View Loop or the 1.8-mile path to the Glacier Overlook Trail.

The other option is the challenging and sometimes dangerous 8.2-mile Harding Icefield Trail , which has an elevation gain of 1,000 feet per mile and takes 6–8 hours to complete. This trail is recommended for skilled hikers only.

We did the Glacier Overlook Trail, which rewarded our steps with sweeping vista views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Exit Glacier itself is a marvel to see. Its beauty is breathtaking to witness, but it’s also sobering in the fact that it is retreating at an average rate of 125 feet a year.

Nevertheless, the Glacier Overlook Trail is a well-maintained trail, but it can be moderately strenuous in places as it weaves over the glacially carved inclines.

Pro Tip: While the Exit Glacier area is open year-round, the road to the glacier is usually inaccessible to cars from late-October to mid-November due to snow.

4. Learn About Wildlife

Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park are teeming with wildlife. You’re likely to spot a moose along the banks of the Resurrection and Snow Rivers, see a playful sea lion in the Seward Harbor , and view more bird life than you can count.

The Alaska Sealife Center

The easiest way to get up close and personal with the native wildlife of Kenai Fjords National Park is a visit to the Alaska Sealife Center . Located in downtown Seward, this public aquarium and permanent marine mammal rehabilitation center features all different kinds of species, including puffins, salmon, seals, octopus, steller sea lions, and more.

It’s also a great place to learn about the Sealife Center’s animal rehabilitation efforts, which were featured on National Geographic’s Alaska Animal Rescue . The aquarium also has a touch tank and a variety of encounters with animals like a sea otter or an octopus.

Ididaride Dog Sled Tours

Believe it or not, dog-sled tours are available during the summer months as well as the winter. Ididaride Dog Sled Tours offers tours just a short flight from the Seward Airport to its dog-sledding camp on a glacier, where you can experience a dog-sled ride through the gorgeous backdrop of glaciers.

Visitors can ride on the runners and help drive the sled or just relax and enjoy the ride. The Summer Wilderness Tour is done on wheeled sleds for an hour and a half tour.

See The Bears 

Kenai Backcountry Adventures offers the only bear-viewing tour from Seward, Alaska. This 12-hour tour includes a full-day bear-viewing experience in Lake Clark National Park and includes all gear, lunch, and airfare.

5. Explore Seward’s Charming Streets

Seward’s historic downtown is a fun place to spend half a day or so. With plenty of little shops , you’ll have a lot of chances to pick up thoughtful souvenirs or hand-crafted gifts. Art lovers will adore the local galleries and all the murals painted around town.

In fact, downtown Seward is considered the “Mural Capital of Alaska” with more than 30 paintings depicting famous events, historical characters, and the landscape of Alaska’s Kenai Fjords Peninsula.

The Seward Community Library & Museum is worth a visit to see the collection and history of Seward throughout the years.

Pro Tip: A great way to explore Seward is with the Seward free shuttle, which runs a 5-mile route that takes about 30 minutes to complete. Seward City Tours offers an informative, 1-hour Historical City Tour , or a 5-hour Seward Deluxe Tour . The History and Glacier Combo is a happy medium for those who can’t do the full 5-hour tour. The tours include luggage storage and shuttle service to any destination in town.
