SEWARD
only a 2.5hr bus ride south of Anchorage
Seward here we come....


what did we do here.. we did the Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise- 6hrs to view wildlife and glaciers





















it was a bit chilly up on the top deck.. but we were not leaving the top.. too much to see!



























the harbor seals
they were just so cute sunning themselves on the rocks
so so so many of them all over


















another similar boat.. near the glacier, that's why the water is covered in ice pieces.

lots of glacier calving happened on this boat trip












ORCA whale.

yes there were so many out.. pods of orca's
they are beautiful creatures for sure

wow.... amazed once again.












enjoying the glacier.. ME












"northern Penguins"
well that's what I call them, they are actually Common Murres which nest on the sheer cliff ledges









if you look closely you will see 1000's of birds.. many are cormorants

Puffins are darn cute too, but way to fast to be caught on my camera..






We saw so many pods of Orca's, and also 1 humpback whale. Huge whales.. Porpoises swam by the side of the boat through the waves so fast all the time, I think they were trying to keep up with the boat. We also saw a sea otter.. and boy was he a big one. Brown bears on the side by the water, dall sheep on the rock edges and bald eagles all over.

This was a such a great boat trip, I recommend it to anyone who is going to Alaska. We saw so much wildlife it was unbelievable
