Day 1: Anchorage & Seward
Heading south from Anchorage, follow the Cook Inlet to Resurrection Bay. From our base in Seward, hop on a boat and explore Kenai Fjords National Park. Killer whales, porpoises and sea otters often frolic within this white and electric blue scene, where glaciers calve huge hunks of ice into the sea with an ear-splitting crack. Dry land provides a pick for hikers: the leisurely trip to Exit Glacier or the tougher trek up to Harding Icefields will be sure to impress!
Accommodation: Camping included
-
Day 2-3: Kenai Fjords/Seward
The coastal town of Seward is known for its unbeatable and spectacular mountain and bay scenery, and offers loads of both land-based and marine opportunities as well as a wonderful selection of tours, cruises and activities to make the most of your time here which you are bound to enjoy. The highlight in Seward is your included marine and wildlife cruise where previously whales and an array of birdlife have been spotted amongst others.
Accommodation: Camping included

Day 4-5: Homer
Found at the head of Resurrection Bay on the Kenai Peninsula and made famous for its access to bear and whale viewing, Homer was made famous as 'The End of the Road' in Tom Bodett's tales. Homer is at the end of the Sterling Highway surrounded by wilderness and ocean, also called "the cosmic hamlet by the sea" and is a picturesque town with a bustling harbour and dramatic surrounding scenery. It is the perfect place for you to taste some of the local activities helping you make the most of your time. Among these include sea fishing and kayaking which rate among the top things to do in this area.
Accommodation: Camping included

Day 6: Kenai National Wildlife Refuge
Making your way further north, the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge awaits. One word: wow! If you opt for the canoe view, the pine-enclosed lakes often deliver the sight of eagles surveying all from treetop perches or moose grazing by the shore. For more adventure raft the whitewater of Alaska!
