En route, enjoy sweeping views over Kenai Fjords National Park, Resurrection Bay, and glacial valleys. After a soft landing, your guide leads a personalized hike tailored to group comfort—pause for photos, wait for a cloud to drift into the perfect frame, or quietly watch for wildlife while your guide keeps you safe and on great terrain.
