Kenai Fjords Boat Tour

We were camped center/lower part of Pic here - Marathon Mountain in background to the right


      Sunday morning we met our Kenai Fjords Tour Boat at the Seward Marina around 9 am. We spent the day on tour to Kenai Fjords Nat. Park visiting the Alalik Glacier along with viewing a few others. We saw lots of wildlife along the way: Humpback whales, Orcas, porpoise, Sea Otters, Sea Lions, Harbor Seals, Puffins, Eagles, Mountain Goats, etc. The weather wasn't too bad even though it was rather gray. Lots of fishing boats were out as well.

We had a Prime rib and Alaska Salmon dinner at Fox Island about hour before we made it back to the  marina

     We enjoyed the boat tour and meal at Fox Island a lot. We also thought Seward was a very nice area...probably one of our favorite places in Alaska.
