Kenai Fjord and Sea Life Galore

The Kenai Tour Company provides several tours to view the abundant sea life found in the Kenai Fjord.  We took a six hour tour that provide many opportunities to see animals in their natural environment and to see several glaciers.

First, we saw many sea lions basking in the sun along the rocky ledges.  As we watched the sea lions we also puffins on the rocks and in the water.




Next we saw otters floating on their backs relaxing in Holgate Bay and we were fortunate to find a pod of humpback whales.  They swam around the ship, surfaced, blew water out their blowholes, and showed their unique tails as they dove back into the water.














After seeing several animals we saw the Holgate Glacier.  What a dramatic sight.  It was huge!
