Kenai Fjords Tours

Kenai Fjords Tours is Alaska's premier glacier and wildlife cruise company, operating as an authorized National Park Service concessionaire within Kenai Fjords National Park. Departing daily from the Seward Small Boat Harbor — just 90 minutes south of Anchorage — the company has run glacier and wildlife cruises since 1978, making it Seward's original and longest-running tour operator.

Operated by Pursuit Collection (The Alaska Collection), Kenai Fjords Tours offers a full range of cruise options to suit every schedule and interest. Half-day Resurrection Bay cruises run three to four and a half hours, offering intimate wildlife viewing experiences starting at $144 per adult — ideal for visitors with a single day in Seward. Full-day tours venture deep into Kenai Fjords National Park over six to eight hours, with options including the Classic Kenai Fjords National Park cruise and the remote Northwestern Fjord expedition, reaching prices up to $275 per adult. The Glacier Dinner Cruise adds a multi-course dining experience to the glacier and wildlife combination.

Wildlife sightings on every cruise may include humpback whales, sea otters, tufted and horned puffins, harbor seals, Steller sea lions, and bald eagles soaring above rugged coastal cliffs. The company's fleet — the largest in Southcentral Alaska with 95-foot boats and smooth catamarans holding up to 150 passengers — approaches active tidewater glaciers for close-up views of calving ice in one of Alaska's most dramatic wilderness landscapes.

All tours depart from 1304 4th Ave at the Seward Small Boat Harbor and feature expert captain narration, onboard dining, and wheelchair-accessible restrooms. Advance online booking is strongly recommended for peak summer months (June–August). The 2026 season runs March 7 through October 11. Children receive discounted rates and infants under two cruise free.
