Whale Watching in the Kenai Fjords




Today we boarded the Orca Voyager, one of the large catamarans in the Kenai Fjords Tours fleet, for an 8 1/2  hour water tour. This was a great experience! We stood at the front of the boat and you could feel the chill of the huge glacier as we got closer; hearing the ice cracking as pieces break off and plunge into the water.



We were lucky enough to see a humpback whale breach, bringing most of his body out of the water, and other whales come up for air. One rolled on it's side and waved to us. What a privilege to see nature's beauties: the bald eagles, sea otters, humpback whales, stellar sea lions, puffins, and the beautiful glaciers.
