Sightseeing the Kenai Peninsula

The Kenai Peninsula is one of the most scenic places on the North American Continent.  People from all over the world visit us here because the variety of things to see and do are endless.  Visitors can view the edges of the Harding Ice Field that form the Kenai Fjords on the east site of the peninsula near Seward.  Boats can take you out for a glacier tour at modest cost.  In addition, the Sea Life Center is a popular exhibit.  Exit Glacier is accessable by road.  Portage Glacier is also an easy drive and very scenic.  View our Kenai Peninsula page for a few photos and description of various areas that are easily accessable by road.

You can also photograph the volcanos and mountains that border the west side of Cook Inlet from the road that leads to Homer.  Sometimes you can even see smoke billowing out from one of these active volcanos.  Homer is also very scenic.  On a clear day you can see the glaciers and ice topped mountains across Kachemak Bay.

And, of course, one of the best way to view wildlife is from a boat on the river.   It isn't unusual to see a mother moose lead her calves into the water for a swim across the river.  You will also find bald eagles frequenting the river in search of food.  Ducks, Trumpeter swans, loons and many other birds frequent the Kenai River.
