The boat had a passenger capacity of 18; our group had Dan asked the group what our priorities were and we were off.
The weather was overcast and cool with drizzle on and off. One of them surfed our bow for several minutes. That was insanely great! This was a small boat, so we were leaning over the rail watching a porpoise race along only a few feet from our noses. The Kenai Fjords National Park is awesome. I encourage anyone whose Alaska itinerary takes them to Seward or Whittier to spend an extra day on a boat tour there.
We toured beautiful coves, especially Spire Cove and Cateract Cove. They were absolutely magical, especially in the mist, like a scene out of Lord of the Rings. We went to Northwestern glacier, motoring slowly through lots of beautiful chunks of ice. Many of the ice floes near the glacier had harbor seals lounging on top.
The glacier had a lot of snow near the top and we saw two avalanches thunder into the sea. Really cool! Captain Dan and Chris were exceptionally good at identifying birds. We got fairly close looks at Orcas, including one very adorable baby. I learned that baby orcas have an orange tint. I could see it with the naked eye at the time, and even more clearly later in the photos. We saw all the varieties of puffins, and a number of other diving birds.
Chris served snacks throughout the day, and a terrific deli lunch. I recommend Kenai Fjords Tours, especially the all day captains choice tour, very highly. Not only was Captain Dan an excellent guide with 17 years of experience piloting boats, he was an expert in all the local wildlife and birds.
He was actively involved in orca research and could identify several of the individuals by the nicks and markings on their dorsal fins.

This was an incredible cruise tour of Resurrection Bay and the adjacent fjord which contains two major glaciers. Even though it was cloudy and rained part of the time, the scenery was still spectacular to see. We saw a large variety of wildlife in the water and especially on the islands and coastlines along which the boat passes.
The cruise navigates deep into the isolated Northwestern Fjord. Offering a more intimate experience on a smaller vessel, the Northwestern Fjord Explorer Cruise plots a similar mile course and is quite popular among wildlife photographers.
Both cruises include a light breakfast and deli-style lunch. Looking for a bit more adventure on the water? Try a guided kayak exploration of the scenic shorelines around Resurrection Bay or an epic paddling adventure into Northwestern Fjord. Ranging from a few hours to all day, kayak tours are a great way to investigate the smaller bays and inlets of Kenai Fjords National Park.
Day cruises into Kenai Fjords National Park are only available between May and September and operate in all kinds of weather from the Seward harbor. Be sure to dress in appropriate clothing: Rubber-soled shoes, a good rain jacket, hat, and gloves will keep you more comfortable and the trip that much more enjoyable.
