Kenai's Fjords National Park
Over the eons, glacier ice has carved valleys
that are now submerged under seawater, thus
forming the fjords. Kenai Fjords National Park
preserves this magical part of the Peninsula,
and a diverse fleet of small ships delivers the
experience. The Kenai Fjords offers more
than majestic scenery—few places in the
world can boast of the stunning
concentrations of wildlife viewed on a daily
basis in the Kenai Fjords and the adjoining
islands of the Maritime National Wildlife
Refuge: sea otters, puffins, sea lions,
kittiwakes, humpback and orca whales, harbor
seals, oyster catchers and more. Glaciers are
still making their way down from the ice fields,
and witnessing the calving of huge chunks of
ice from the glacier’s face as it meets the sea
reminds us that the Kenai Fjords are still
under construction.

Four Active Volcanoes
There aren’t many places in the world where you can
gaze upon four active volcanoes from one stretch of
beautiful highway. From north to south, Mt. Spurr, Mt.
Redoubt, Mt. Illiamna and St. Augustine all may be
viewed from the western shore of the Kenai
Peninsula, out across Cook Inlet to the Alaska
Peninsula. The volcano coast isn’t the only scenic
drive on the Peninsula…one would have a hard time
choosing a favorite stretch of road—there are
dramatic vistas and spectacular scenery from one
community to the next.

Fish, Fish, fish! And why, why, why?
Because location, location, location!
The Kenai is world renowned for its wide-ranging
fishing opportunities. Four species of salmon by the
hundreds of thousands—find their way into the
Peninsula’s bays, rivers, and lakes to return to where
their lives began. Virtually any time of the summer is
salmon fishing season on The Kenai. The largest
King Salmon of all, weighing close to 100 pounds, are
sought on the famed lower Kenai River. Salmon is
only part of the draw. Most seacoast towns on The
Kenai offer charter fishing for halibut and other
saltwater species.

Wildlife - Bountiful Wildlife
The Kenai Peninsula Borough is 90%
wilderness and therefore a destination of
choice for Alaskan travelers who desire to
observe wildlife within its natural habitat. We
serve as the gateway for Alaska's best
one-day flightseeing trips to view the famed
Katmai and Wolverine Creek bears. The
Kenai is home to one black bear per square
mile. Black or brown bears may be spotted
from your vehicle, from your raft as you float
by, or up on the mountainside while hiking our
miles of improved trails.

Birding on the Kenai
The Kenai has a wide array of easily accessible
seashores, rivers, creeks, lakes, marshes and alpine
country which make for some truly exceptional
birding. We are accessible by road (private and
group charters readily available for more remote
destinations), have all the modern amenities, yet can
offer birding in a truly beautiful wilderness setting.
There are 469 species of birds documented in
Alaska, plus more than 30 other species reported but
not verified, and most can be found right here.
