Home • Alaska Whale Watching Glacier Cruises


A Seward Whale Watching Glacier Tour is a must do for everyone visiting Seward. The whale watching glacier cruises are the most popular activity in Kenai Fjords National Park.

A day cruise into Kenai Fjords offers some of the best whale watching opportunities in Alaska. Humpback whales and pods of orca (killer) whales are commonly seen year round and gray whales in spring. Other whales that might be seen on the day cruises are fin whales, and minke whales.

Awe-inspiring scenery, towering mountains and tidewater glaciers make a Kenai Fjords Whale Watching tour an unforgettable trip. The 6-plus hour trips all include a visit to Kenai Fjords National Park and a visit to the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. All tours are fully narrated by experienced boat captains.

Don't forget your camera. Kenai Fjords is one of those special locations in Alaska that's just teaming with wildlife. There are seals around the glaciers, Dall’s porpoises, sea otters, bald eagles and an occasional mountain goat and black bear are sometimes seen along the shoreline. There's also haulouts for the endangered Steller sea lions, and masses of seabirds that nest in the Fjords in the summer, including the famous puffin.
