Ranger-curated one-day highlights itinerary for Kenai Fjords National Park.
Itinerary
Ranger-curated Kenai Fjords day centered on a glacier cruise and coastal hikes.
Seward harbor check-in
Arrive early for boat tour boarding.
Bring layers and binoculars.
Kenai Fjords glacier cruise
Cruise past tidewater glaciers and marine wildlife.
Sit outside for wildlife viewing; dress for wind.
Exit Glacier Overlook
This overlook offers one of the closest viewing points of Exit Glacier. The toe of Exit Glacier was at this point in 2005. The ground is mostly barren rock, as the plants that grow after a glacier’s retreat have not had a time to start growing here yet. There are two wayside signs at this overlook. Stop here to observe Exit Glacier, and to see the powerful river of ice that helped to shape this landscape.
Easy trail to a glacier viewpoint.
Bring a light layer; the glacier area is cool.
Lowell Point sunset
Quiet coastal light near Seward.
Check tides for beach access.
