The BEST three days at Kenai Fjords National Park! (Exit Glacier, Harding Icefield, + BOAT tour!)

We spent the BEST three days at Kenai Fjords National Park near Seward and words do not do this place justice! This FREE national park is full of towering mountains, fjords, more glaciers than we could count, the largest ice field entirely in the United States, and endless wildlife. We couldn’t believe that the scenery we experienced here was real life…it was breathtaking!

This video was filmed in late July 2022 and may not reflect current conditions. All drone footage was shot outside of the national park.

I’m over waiting when you two will get a Travel Channel show! Some of the best content on YT. Thank you for bringing us along on the Adventures 🫡

Love your Alaska series!!! Having just returned from our own 2-week trip there, your videos are a nice way to look back at our own travels. What I especially love about your videos (and what i think makes them stand out) are all the little details you capture - waves crashing, a man cutting fish, seagulls flying, a cloud above a mountain, water dripping from tree leaves... Those are the kind of little details you capture (in between the main sights) that make your videos so special! Love it!
P.s. And i also appreciate all the factual / historical information you add about the sights.

Glad you were able to make it to Kenai Fjords NP. I think the day we went out on the boat into the fjords was one of the absolute most enjoyable days in my life. We had calm seas the day we went, so didn't have to worry about Dramamine. Exit Glacier looks like it has receded 75-100 yards since we were there about 8 years ago. Great video.

I look forward to every episode. And to use the word Kathryn said more than once, this may be the most "stunning" video you've ever filmed. Thank you!

If I were a first time watcher I'd swear that you work for the Alaska Tourism Dept. This was an absolutely stunning vlog entry. Since we're almost to the Baseball Playoffs I'd say you just hit a Bases Loaded Grand Slam Homerun!

The Harding Ice Field hike was one of my most memorable and hard hikes ever. Arrived at that hut and it was blowing snow... so cold but epic. Thanks for the memories.

Love love love Alaska. Thanks for sharing that boat tour. That’s on my list for sure. It’s so crazy how massive the glaciers are. Videos I know don’t do no justice to what u really see in person I hope everyone can get too see then one day. I got to walk on one 4 years ago on my helicopter tour and it’s just

I visited Alaska once, and words can't describe what an incredible place on Earth we have. It's truly just an amazing, stunning, and breathtaking view. As someone who has been struggling with the purpose in life, I am finally getting back on track and feeling much better. Not going to lie, watching this video made me nostalgic, but also it moved me and inspired me to gain back the liveliness of what life experiences bring you. Thank you so much for sharing this, and wishing you the best on your journey.

Epic. I agree….. your BEST video to date. The views, the experience…..over the top. Way to go!!! 🏆🥇👏🏻

[lindabrum]

AMAZING video! We were there in 2013 and loved it. I can only imagine how much Exit Glacier has receded since then. We took the boat tour as well. Although I felt sea sick for much of it, it was still one of the best experiences I've ever had and would do it again in a heartbeat (with Dramamine this time 😜). I absolutely love watching your videos and can't wait to see your next adventure!

[charleshicks]

The word is stunning; from the coffee with the view to the boat tour to the hike; STUNNING 🤩 😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👌👌

[sonny]

Yay A+K! (+ no K today) I love all of your videos, but the National Park ones are my fave. Great vid as always! I appreciate that your sponsorship fits to the topic. I will definitely look into the Dyrt. That will be helpful for future travels

[Mollydogdesigns]

Of course you guys were thoughtful about tipping the crew! Great episode ❤️👍😄

[barbaradowney]

Your video is so well done...did the Kenai Fjords trip 4 years ago and it was awesome...we were lucky to see one big chunk come down...you certainly had a stellar day! Our friend, who has lived there since he was a boy kept asking me do you think this boat trip is worth it? I looked at him like he was insane and said, uh yeah. You live here, you're used to this. I was in awe of the state's beauty.

[jamiewalters]

Glaciers, mountains and whales, OH MY! What an EPIC time in and around Seward! Can't wait to get there!

[brianmillard]

Awesome job capturing the beauty and excellent job of editing. National Geographic couldn't do any better.

[kimberlyshalaby]

I'm so glad you were able to go see these glaciers, hike, & take a boat tour. I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure you & your Husband took. Alaska is a beautiful place. I loved your excitement through the video too.

[stephenzane]

You hit a grand slam with this one guys. All the adventures were spellbinding.
