Kenai Fjords National Park, AK

Kenai Fjords National Park includes one of the four major ice caps in the United States, the 300-square-mile Harding Icefield and coastal fjords. Located on the southeastern Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, the national park is a pristine and rugged land supporting many unaltered natural environments and ecosystems. Here a rich, varied rain forest is home to tens of thousands of breeding birds and adjoining marine waters support a multitude of sea lions, sea otters, and seals.

The most popular visitor activity at Kenai Fjords is viewing the park from a tour boat. The boats are privately owned, and the many operators offer tours of varying lengths and features.

Authorized commercial guides provide camping, fishing and kayaking services. Air charters fly over the coast for flight seeing and access to the fjords. Boat tours and charters are available from Seward. In summer, boat tours ply the coast, observing calving glaciers, sea birds, and marine mammals.
