Spend the day exploring the beauty of Alaska's coastline in Kenai Fjords National Park. Take a half-day boat tour and watch for wildlife such as whales, sea otters, and sea lions. Hike one of the park's trails to get an up-close view of glaciers, icebergs, and waterfalls. Don't miss the chance to kayak or paddleboard in the serene waters of the park.
Discover the flora and fauna of the Kodiak Wildlife Refuge, the second-largest wildlife refuge in the United States. Take a guided tour to see Kodiak bears, deer, foxes, and eagles in their natural habitat. Stop by the visitors' center to learn about the history of the refuge and its important conservation efforts. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture stunning views of the surrounding wilderness.
If you have extra time, consider adding a visit to the Kodiak Fisheries Research Center, where you can learn about sustainable fishing practices and see live marine creatures in touch tanks. If you have less time, skip the Kenai Fjords National Park boat tour and opt for a shorter hike or guided wildlife tour in the Kodiak Wildlife Refuge.
