Why would an otherwise sane mother of two decide to spend her valuable vacation time challenging Alaska's Kenai Fjords in a sea kayak? What could possibly be so appealing about calving glaciers churning waters into treacherous roller coasters, official warnings of "hypothermia and death within minutes", and terrifying tidal currents that a modern suburbanite would call this dangerous mishmash a vacation? And yet, that little Kenai Fjords boat journey beckons, calling out to a soul far too primal to remain hidden indefinitely behind soccer schedules and business deadlines.

When we think of fjords we usually think of Scandinavia, the land from which the name comes. Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Greeland. Little do we think of the United States and her largest state, Alaska, which holds some of the most beautiful fjords in the world. Explore glacial Alaska on Kenai Fjords Tours.
