  • Guided hiking on the trails of the Chugach National Forest or Kenai National Wildlife Refuge - learn about the native uses of the numerous plants and flowers you'll see along the way.

  • Relaxing at the lodge - pour yourself into a rocking chair on our riverside deck and take in the breathtaking Kenai River and watch for wildlife.

  • A day of guided fishing on the world famous Kenai River for salmon or trout - whether you're an avid angler or a novice who can't come to Alaska without fishing, you'll have an unforgettable experience with our expert guides (additional cost for guided fishing).
     
    • Last Day: Bid farewell to the Kenai Riverside Lodge after breakfast and travel by van to Seward. Our AWA representative will drop you off at the office of Kenai Fjords Tours where you'll check in then embark on a 6-hour marine wildlife and glacier cruise. This is your opportunity to see whales, puffins, glaciers, sea otters, sea lions, and more! Afterward, journey north on the Alaska Railroad from Seward to Anchorage. Relax and take in the spectacular scenery. You'll arrive at the downtown Anchorage depot by 10:15 p.m. Dinner and transfers not included. Dinner is available for purchase on the train. (B,L)

We can arrange for pre and post trip bear viewing excursions at a rustic fly-in lodge where, in the company of trained guides, you may observe brown (grizzly) bears exploring their natural habitat. We can also arrange a stay at our charming, boat-in-only Kenai Backcountry Lodge, or our newest seacoast endeavor, Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge, or ask about adding a Denali Adventure Package to extend your Alaska vacation!
