Explore tide pools, brimming with life. Bike past thundering waterfalls, along forest paths and kayak protected bays in search of whales, seals and puffins. Sail on a nature cruise into Kenai Fjords National Park coming nose-to-nose with tidal glaciers and exotic marine life and learn about the migratory habits of humpback whales.
