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.
One
excellent way to get a view of the peninsula and surrounding areas
is to take a flight seeing tour for a bird's eye view of the scenery.
These tours will generally take you to the other side of Cook
Inlet for a close look at Mount Redoubt. If you want to
view bears in a natural setting, Wolverine Creek is the place
to go during the sockeye or silver salmon run. Generally,
our clients will include fishing in their list of activities when
visiting west Cook Inlet. Check
here for detailed options or give us a call for more information.
