Exploring the Majestic Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska
Kenai Fjords National Park, located on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula near Seward, is a stunning wilderness where mountains, ice, and ocean converge. Established in 1980, this 670,000-acre gem protects the massive Harding Icefield, one of the largest in the U.S., which feeds nearly 40 glaciers carving dramatic fjords into the rugged coastline. Tidewater glaciers calve into the sea, while rocky sea stacks and islands rise from the Gulf of Alaska, creating habitats for abundant wildlife like humpback whales, orcas, sea otters, harbor seals, puffins, and Steller sea lions.The best way to experience this remote park is by boat tour from Seward, often on stable catamarans. These cruises navigate Resurrection Bay and deeper fjords, offering close-up views of calving glaciers, soaring cliffs, and marine life. My own catamaran tour was unforgettable, spotting whales breaching amid misty, forested shores, but the open waters can get rocky, leading to motion sickness for some (including a bit of queasiness for me!).Tips to Stave Off Motion Sickness on Boat Tours:
