Stop At: Fox Island, Kenai Fjords National Park, AK

Kenai Fjords Tours is pleased to welcome you to picturesque Fox Island, in the heart of Resurrection Bay. Your exploration of Kenai Fjords National Park is enhanced by a chance to step off the boat, stroll the beach and explore on land. This island is rich in inspiration and character.

Stop At: Kenai Fjords National Park, Seward Highway, Seward, AK

In Kenai Fjords National Park, over half of the landmass is covered by the enormous Harding Icefield, a thousand-foot block of ice that dates back to the last Ice Age. 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.

Duration: 8 hours

I cannot recommend this tour enough. Amazing captain/narration very focused on safety and education, great crew, good lunch and drinks available for purchase, and the meal at Fox Island was very good. They are clearly very responsive to the silly minor complaints here as they had many sauces for the lunch wrap (re: prior commenter saying the wraps were dry), a diverse dinner at the Lodge on Fox Island (a full buffet including salad, potato salad, rice pilaf, bread, salmon, steak) and even freshly baked warm chocolate chip cookies on the return journey. The captain’s narration was so good, I felt like I was on a Disney movie tour of Kenai. Drinks (including beer, coffee, mixed liquor drinks) are available for purchase. It was a rainy day at times and my only complaint is that many inconsiderate families took up huge chunks of interior space with no consideration to share. Your ticket buys you one seat inside - act accordingly. I’d encourage the crew to ask passengers to all claim one seat indoors at the start of the cruise to avoid territory battles and kids spread out sleeping over 3-4 chairs by the end of the day - not okay when there is a full vessel full of people who periodically need to come inside from the freezing rain. I would recommend this tour wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Seward!

I saw people from young to old on this trip - EVERYONE was amazed by the grandeur and beauty. It starts with the town of Seward, the friendliness of all the service workers…then the awesomeness of the captains and crew. Then taking in all the sites of the animals in their natural habitat. Look up and look for white heads, EAGLES everywhere. The meals were awesome, on and off the boat in Fox Island where a proper chef creates an amazing experience. The Glaciers…oh my Lord! Heaven on Earth!!!

This is her second trip to Alaska, and our second time on the Kenai Fjords Tour. Again, it was an outstanding experience. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, the food was way above what we expected. The meal on Fox Island was really fine The scenery is breathtaking. We saw sea lions otters, puffins, quite a few bald eagles , and an orca and a humpback whale! Fabulous experience!

Wonderful trip with a very knowledgeable captain! Both the lunch and the buffet dinner were very good and the snacks and drinks available for purchase were excellent as well. And of course the scenery was epic. We thoroughly enjoyed the glaciers and the sea life was perfectly stunning. We highly recommend this trip! Part of the day it was overcast and raining and it was then that we saw several dozen orcas, seals, and even a humpback whale. So don’t let the weather stop you!

My husband and I went on this cruise yesterday. It. Was. Beautiful. The glaciers and mountains are amazing and that part was worth every penny. Our crew was attentive, polite and even made everyone chocolate chip cookies. Our Captain, told us just enough information but also allowed us to take in the sites and sounds in quiet. The staff walked around and took care of motion sickness people, saved a place in the front for the children could see the wildlife, and made sure that everyone was comfortable. Also, the captain ade sure both sides of the boat could see the sights. We would definitely do this part of the tour again. We went to dinner on Fox Island. This was a complete waste of time. You are not allowed to "explore" the island like advertised. You are allowed to walk on the stone beach just a little each way. Everywhere was roped off to us. The dinner was sub-par. It is a buffet style eating. The rice wasn't cooked, the skin was still on the salmon and they were very stingy with the beef (I think it was tri tip, but I got 3 pieces maybe 1" long) and no dessert. Definitely not worth the extra money to have this experience. The staff was polite but everyone wanted a tip. They don't serve you, bring you drinks or anything. They did serve the main part of the food off the buffet but we felt like that was more for portion control than anything. We do not recommend that you spend any money or time to go to Fox Island.
