Our route will change depending on what the weather conditions are that day, we try to accommodate guest preference on what they are looking to see whenever nature allows. Our typical route involves viewing Resurrection Bay, the Kenai Fjords National Park and many of its glaciers, the Harding Icefield and searching for wildlife.
