We took an 8 hrs tour with Alaska Tour & Travel from Anchorage. We moved by bus, train and boat. The excursion was well organized, we saw plenty of wildlife (sea lions, seals, birds) nature (forests, lakes) and glaciers. Better go by bus and return by Alaska Express, across the hole peninsula! The boat was moved very close to the –ice covered- land, so we could a lot of pictures. Got close up with several of large glaciers and we experienced to watch -live- an ice melting (sounds like earthquake)! Amazing experience, do not miss it! Make sure that you will wear warm clothes and have a raincoat!

We visited the park Visitor Center in town….nice exhibits and a very good video! Friendly Rangers. We then went to Exit Glacier and visited that Visitor Center! Beautiful drive out to that site!

Beautiful Park with so much wildlife both on and off land. The is an amazing park to experience both on land and on boat. It was the highlight of our trip seeing this park! Overall love it and would tell anyone in the area its a must see.

We hiked to Exit Glacier as part of a bigger Real Alaska Tour and loved it! There are a couple different trails, one mostly flat and a mile round trip and the one we took, a mile out and then back, with uneven terrain and creeks to cross and several steps and hills to navigate, but very doable for the average walker. There were incredible views along the way and lots of moose poop on the trails, but no moose sightings for us. Exit Glacier has receded a lot over the years and there are markers with years on them indicating where the glacier once was. It’s pretty amazing how far it’s receded and may not be visible next time we go. I highly recommend visiting this if you are in the Seward area. We did it as part of a 6-hr Real Alaska Tour through Seavey’s Iditarod - highly recommend that tour too!

We took the 7.5 hour tour from Major Marine after disembarking from our cruise ship, and we saw every possible wildlife species in their captain's log! Starting with a harbour seal at the breakwater, then the sea otters at the open ocean, then porpoises surfing our boat's wake, then orcas further up, then a humpback whale after that, then puffins by Aialik Bay, then more seals at the icebergs, then fin whales exiting the bay, then sea lions coming back, with mountain goats at the cliffside! We were also treated with a playing flying from the side of Aialik Glacier! On top of that, both Holgate and Aialik Glaciers calved in front of us! You can't beat a full day in Kenai Fjords National Park!

My husband and I began our national park visit with a stop at the visitor center in Seward. We also did the heavily trafficked, highly recommended exit glacier hike. The exit glacier hike includes a 1 mile round-trip loop that is wheelchair accessible that has views of the glacier, outwash basin, and signs with the year where the glacier formerly was. If you choose, you can do a half a mile hike to the glacier that gives closer views. The half a mile hike is steep and has rocks, but doable. Longer hikes are available as well. Most of Kenai Fjords National Park is off land and cruises to explore more of the park are recommended. I used Major Marine and had a great time seeing the fjords, glaciers and marine life.

In hundreds of hikes the Harding Ice Field Trail ranks up there with the best in America! The view of the ice field at the top is a jaw dropper! To get there it is 4.4 miles and virtually all up hill. It is the hardest hike we have done as a family and the best one! Totally worth the hike to see it!! The NPS does a great job of trail maintenance. There is only one side trail that is clearly marked. It is not a place for solitude, there were dozens of people going to various places along the trail. The Top of the Cliffs is a great view as is the spot at the bottom of the Cliff where there is a small bald that offers nice Exit Glacier views. Keep in mind that the NPS website rates it as difficult. And it is difficult for sure.

Been to Alaska before, but not to hike. Went with a group of friends and we had our mind blown. Hiking up to Exit Glacier was like 3 hikes in one. Started off in the most green rain forrest type scenery on a well maintained path, exiting into another maintained trail of rock and unbelievable green lush beautiful hills. Then onto a area that seemed like the moon, untill we saw exit Glacier and all it's glory! Do it! Take as many breaks as you need to accomplish this. You won't regret it! 🇺🇸
