The Top 2 Boat Tours in Anchorage

Although you may have arrived in Anchorage on a cruise ship, the experience of an excursion boat or kayak offers a completely different experience, one that takes you away from the crowds and out into the remote and rugged beauty of Alaska. Whether you want to relax and see the sights, or try a new activity like fishing, there is sure to be an excursion you find appealing among this hand-picked selection.

For a half-day tour with a full day's worth of sights, consider the 4 Hour Kenai Fjords Wildlife Cruise. You’ll gain a deep understanding of the Kenai Fjords National Park, home to breathtaking scenery and oodles of wildlife. You’ll be treated to views of bald eagles, puffins, sea otters, whales, and more as you cruise in the sheltered waters of Resurrection Bay, taking in Humpy Cove, Cape Resurrection, and Bear Glacier - the National Park’s largest glacier.

If you want to try a classic Alaskan activity while enjoying a boat tour, consider the Combination Sightseeing and Fishing excursion. With a backdrop of the glorious Harding Icefield - which feeds over 40 of the park’s glaciers! - you’ll be taught how to catch rockfish while taking in great views of salmon, puffins, and sea lions!

The Small Boat Whale Watching and Sightseeing Tour is ideal for nature lovers wanting to see as many birds and animals as possible. Once you’re aboard your 43-foot vessel, the Kenai Fjords become your playground, as you take in calving glaciers, Stellar sea lions lazing on nearby rocks, and of course, amazing humpback, orca, and fin whales in the wild!
