About
Return to geologic antiquity:
- With our Northwestern paddle. Cruising aboard the our custom built 24 passenger aluminum high speed landing craft we take a two and a half hour ride through Kenai Fjords to Northwestern Lagoon. On the water taxi we commonly see and stop to view Sea Otters, Dalls Porpoise, Stellar Sea Lions, Bald Eagles, and Humpback as well as Orca Whales. Puffins and sea birds are also in abundance as we pass through the Chiswell islands, the most prolific nesting and roosting grounds in the region.
Rugged coastline:
- Folds into 5 tidewater glaciers. Enjoy opportunities to view black bears, coastal birds, and a host of marine mammals. Pupping Harbor Seals, Otters, Orcas, Humpbacks and more are typically seen on these tours.
This overnight trip:
- Goes to one of the least visited fjords in Kenai Fjords National Park, rarely seeing more than two boats a day. Meals included*
