Activities

For travelers seeking a more in-depth, personalized experience, a stay at our Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge is an ideal way to explore the spectacular Kenai Fjords National Park. Each day offers a variety of activity choices to meet your interest and energy level. Take a guided kayaking trip and paddle amid glacial ice and harbor seals. Join a guide on an interpretive walk and learn about the fascinating Native culture of the Alutiiq people. Beachcomb along miles of pristine shoreline and enjoy spectacular views of Pedersen Glacier. Take a motorized skiff to a glacier and wander among sparkling iceberg bits.

The location allows for many outdoor adventures through a variety of ecosystems; on foot, the terrain invites hikers to journey through extended stretches of beachfront or spruce-and-hemlock forests, while the dramatic coast hosts explorations by small boat, skiff or kayak, with intimate views of tidewater glaciers and secluded coves. Each activity can be tailored to individual ability and energy levels; kayaking is available from short paddles to half-day excursions, while inland hikes can range from a short stroll in search of wildflowers to a guided full-day trek.

Or, simply relax at the Lodge and savor the unique sense of place in Alaska's wilderness. While a great place to explore, the Glacier Lodge is also a prime setting for relaxing with a view. You need not leave the Lodge grounds if "kicking back" in a cozy and peaceful ambiance is your desire.
