Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Resurrection Bay, Seward, AK

This adventure cruise is the only small-vessel cruise that explores the remote, glacier-carved Northwestern Fjord in Kenai Fjords National Park. Ideal for photographers, birders, and whale-watching enthusiasts, this 8.5 hour cruise departs from the Seward Harbor 360 Hotel dock 9:00 a.m. and returns at 5:30 p.m. The cruise will travel through Resurrection Bay, Kenai Fjords National Park, the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, Cape Resurrection, Granite Pass, Harris Bay, and into the spectacular Northwestern Fjord. Due to the vessel size and the cruise length, children under 12 are not recommended on this cruise.
The 58ft Viewfinder is the ideal boat to experience Dall’s porpoises playing alongside the bow or listen to the exhale of whales as they spout nearby. Photographers and birders will have excellent opportunities to snap spectacular photos for their collections.
Narrated by our knowledgeable, experienced captain and crew and limited to only 36 passengers each trip, guests have the unique opportunity to explore remote, untouched areas of Kenai Fjords National Park with a small group. Depending on sea conditions and wildlife-viewing opportunities, the captain’s route to Northwestern Fjord can vary from day to day. After cruising through Resurrection Bay, you will explore the Chiswell Islands (part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge) or Cape Resurrection, home to thousands of nesting seabirds, Steller sea lions, and other wildlife.
The cruise will then enter Harris Bay, where you will be greeted with views of beautiful hidden coves, rugged mountains, and possibly feeding whales. Once we enter the virtually untouched and untamed Northwestern Fjord, look for the numerous alpine glaciers nestled high on the cliffs. You will visit Northwestern, Anchor, and Ojive Glaciers (all active, calving tidewater glaciers) at the end of Northwestern Fjord. You will spend time in front of the glaciers to watch for glacial calving, where giant chunks of glacial ice break off and crash into the water. Our time spent in front of each glacier will vary depending on glacier calving activity and how much time we spent viewing wildlife along the way, though we usually spend about 40 minutes in front of the glaciers. Keep an eye out for harbor seals and sea otters hauled out on the icebergs.
Our Northwestern Fjord Cruise includes a complimentary light breakfast and deli lunch. We also provide complimentary coffee, tea, and ice water during the cruise. Beer, wine, and snacks are available for purchase during the cruise.

This experience was absolutely one of the most amazing excursions we have ever taken! Our captain Justin and his first mate Clint worked very hard to make sure we got to see the amazing sea creatures of Alaska. We saw humpback whales, orca whales, sea otters, harbor seals, and bald eagles. They took their time with the boat to make sure everyone 36 /which is the limit got to see the views and the wildlife. Watching a glacier calve was incredible. They even took us to some waterfalls, because they think these waterfalls are amazing. They allowed us to go into the cabin and talk with them while they were driving the boat. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.

Totally awesome! A longer tour but worth every minute as you are not rushed in looking and then chasing down whales. Got to see Humpback and Orca whales up and close. Got to see many sea lions and otters. The highlight was being up and close to Northwestern Glacier and spending good amount of time watching calving. This glacier and the water surrounding was unlike any other glaciers that we saw.
