We went by catamaran and saw all but one of the local wild animals. Humpbacks playing, Orcas hunting, otters preening...Breathtakingly beautiful. DO IT!

Such a peaceful place to be. There is so much land that goes untouched and I would encourage everyone to embrace this beautiful place.

There is a visitor's center with hiking trails to get close to the glacier. Hiking the Harding Icefield trail up along Exit glacier is definitely worth the effort.

Glaciars and forests are best viewed from the sea -- do not miss this trip if you go to Seward. The boat is big enough not to get sea-sick.

I was beyond amazed by the scenery and abundance of wildlife during our day cruise through Kenai National Fjords. We went as far as the Northwestern Fjord on a 9 hour trip. During that time we saw humpback whales, a pod of ~20-30 orcas, sea lions, seals, puffins, purpoises, and sea otters, all with the amazing backdrop of glaciers. This is a must-vist!

Wonderful tour, we saw whales, orca, sea lions, seals, lots of sea birds, otters, glaciers and more. The food and company was very good.

What a beautiful part of the world to visit ! How can you give it anything less than a rating of EXCELLENT ! We took a lunch cruise through the Fjords and it was certainly a ride of a lifetime.

We took the glacier tour by boat out of Seward. Large heated comfortable boat. You could go on deck or stay inside. Whenever we approached a glacier the temperature dropped noticeably. Dress in layers but be prepared for wind chill. Very scenic cruise of the waterways and glaciers. We saw the glacier calve a huge iceberg. Lots of otters, seals and sea lions along the way. They served a nice lunch of hot fish and chips.

My husband and I visited in late September 2014 and did the 8 mile roundtrip Harding Icefield Hike. We lucked out and had beautiful weather. The views were absolutely stunning. Including our stops to talk with others and take pictures, it took us about 8 hours. I would recommend bringing lunch to eat on the trail. And pack extra layers. It was fairly mild most of the hike, but towards the end at the glacier, with the wind it was very cold. We met a group of women from Alaska who said we picked the best day hike in all of Alaska, and although we haven't seen all of Alaska, I could see why they said this.

Amazing variety of scenery and lots of wildlife. Mountains, waterfalls, glaciers, rocky outcrops. Even if you don't see wildlife, the scenery is amazing.

This is truly a beautiful place. I suggest camping in town, it's so pretty and you can walk anywhere in town. Fishing is good too.

Great park and trials that can be hiked by any age or experience level. The visitors center was wonderful and the staff was excellent.

Our weather was perfect and in the low 70s in the harbor (a wee bit cooler by the glaciers). We saw a ton of sea life but what made the trip so memorable was the humpback whale that continually breached for us more than 20+ times on our way it. We believed it was his salute to America's birthday. Getting up close to the glaciers was pretty "cool" too.
