Kenai Fjords National Park is 669,984-acre park near Seward at the edge of the Kenai Peninsula. The park was established in 1980 to protect the area with almost 40 glaciers that flow from the Harding Icefield, the park’s crowning feature. Icy waters and dense forests around the area support rich wildlife. The area is home to Sugpiaq people who rely on these resources to support lifestyle closely connected to the sea. Most of the park is accessible only by water, the fjord ecosystem as well as glaciers. Numerous boat tours provide visitors opportunities to see wildlife and enjoy spectacular scenery. Half-day tours cruise the protected waters of Resurrection Bay. Full-day tours enable visitors to see some of the park’s tidewater glaciers. During the tours, park rangers provide fascinating information about the park. They also present programs at Fox Island.
