Exclusive Access
Unlike many remote wilderness lodges in Alaska that can only be accessed by plane or a long boat ride across rough waters, the Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge is easily reached via a 45-minute day cruise from the port of Seward. The cruise travels the calm, protected waters of Resurrection Bay, and is provided by Kenai Fjords Tours, departing daily at 12:00 noon.
Guests returning on the Resurrection Bay Tour depart Fox Island at 2:00 p.m. on their final day, after savoring a chef prepared breakfast at the lodge. Guests seeking to adventure deeper into Kenai Fjords National Park can opt for a National Park Tour, or the premium Northwestern Fjord Tour, which travel outside Resurrection Bay and cruise to the face of calving glaciers in Kenai Fjord sNational Park. The Northwestern Fjord Tour takes guests where no other cruise goes--deep into the national park to view the glaciers of the Northwestern Fjord.
