This 7.5 Hour Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise departs daily at 9:30 a.m. and returns at 5:00 p.m. The cruise will travel approximately 130 miles roundtrip through Resurrection Bay into Kenai Fjords National Park. Since this cruise does go out into the open Gulf of Alaska it is not recommended for anyone who is prone to motion sickness. Our half-day Resurrection Bay cruises are much better options if motion sickness is a concern.

5.00Great experience! The cruise staff are friendly abd helpful. Tips: arrive early if you need tobparking. The parking lot fills up quickly. Take dramamine at least an hour before reaching the wavy part of the cruise which is 30-40 minutes after taking off. We saw humpback whale, mostly its back and saw its tail one time. Not the whole body. Saw seals, sea lions, all kinds of birds, etc. Highly recommended!
