Kenai Fjords Tour

July 10
Today we took a boat tour of Kenai Fjords National Park and, once again, the trip was spectacular! We were so close to the Holbert Glacier that we could hear the creaking and moaning of the glacier's movement and the explosive sounds as the glacier calved into icebergs. We saw two humpback whales clearly for extended periods. Sea otters resting in open water, sea lions basking and barking on the rocks, hundreds of Puffins, several dozen Pacific White-sided dolphins played tag with our boat and Dall Porpoise played but at a distance of about 40 yards. The fjords are majestic and we all really enjoyed the trip. Colin had a smile on his face for hours afterwards.
