Highlights

The Harding spills out in all directions in the form of glaciers. Some stretch northwest into rugged hills of the Kenai Peninsula. Others—five of them, to be exact—reach as far as the sea along the craggy coast of the Gulf of Alaska.

Fun boat tour - lots to see - Great boat tour of the fjords before our cruise. The company even delivered our luggage to the cruise ship while we on the tour. Amazing close up experience of the glacier and ice. Could hear the creaking and cracking see the glacier calve. Got taste a bit of the ice too. Saw whales, puffins, seagulls, and sea lions. Lunch burritos provided were tasty and warm. Lots of room on the boat and two levels to take photos from.

Wonderful Day - The food and drinks were good, the crew was awesome, and the captain gave us a lot of great information about the area and wildlife we saw! We saw humpback whales, sea lions, orcas, mountain goats, sea otters, sea birds and glaciers! Great day!

Would do this again in a heartbeat - We had such a good time on the Kenai Fjords NP tour. The weather was iffy, but that didn't bother us too much. We saw humpback whales, mountains goats, puffins, otters, and the Holgate Glacier. Our captain Chris was phenomenal and did a great job with getting everyone close to the action and providing great insights. I'm already itching to get back to AK and this will for sure be on my list of activities to do again.

Perfect day in Kenai Fjords National Park - This was an amazing experience! We saw so many whales - and so much wildlife. The captain kept in touch with other boats in the area - so he managed out time perfectly. And the weather was glorious. The crew was so nice and so helpful - even treating us to Glaciaritas - Margaritas chilled by glacial ice! Could not recommend this experience more!

Great trip! Recommend it highly! - We had an incredibly calm, sunny, warm day - uncommon for Seward that typically experiences so much rain and wind. Boat was smooth riding (no waves or swells!!), humpbacks and orcas were plentiful and active as were the sea lions, puffins and eagles. Captain Mike was great and the crew were friendly; brought us right up close to the glacier, saw it calving, and they served a surprisingly tasty lunch with exceptional warm/right-out-of-the-oven choc chip cookies!! We were free to roam practically the entire boat so we always had great views. One of the best sightseeing trips we’ve taken this entire trip!

Best Time Ever! - The young ladies who served as the crew were so kind and gracious to the passengers who had motion sickness. Thankfully, I did not, and I enjoyed riding the waves and seeing orcas, sea lions, and all the beauty of the area.
