Kenai River Tours

Coming to Alaska?  Traveling through Anchorage provides the most economical glimpse at the great state of Alaska.  “The best thing about Anchorage is that it’s close to Alaska.”  Known as Central Alaska, the area drivable from Anchorage has a more diverse set of landscapes than any of the other major Alaskan airport hubs, both Fairbanks and Juneau.

For the visiting tourist or avid outdoorsman, the Kenai Peninsula would be the crown jewel of Central Alaska.  The Kenai Peninsula is home to not only the Kenai River but glaciers, fjords, National Wildlife Refuges, America’s largest National Forest, vast coastlines and too many other lakes and rivers to name.

Eco tours offer an incredible experience for outdoor enthusiasts who aren’t so interested in catching fish.  Focusing on scenery and wildlife, a scenic river tour allows non anglers the same exposure to the river as a guided fishing trip.  When you’re not hyper-focused on fishing the river seems to be more beautiful, more relaxing and contain noticeably more wildlife.  Bears, moose, eagles, seals, otters and a plethora of bird species seem to come out and play when you’re not holding a fishing rod.     

Wildlife Viewing on the Kenai Peninsula is easy and almost everywhere.  The Sterling Highway alone offers the wandering wildlife enthusiast incredible access to flora, fauna and epic views.  Bear viewing from the Sterling Highway can also be epic and offers viewers the most economical glimpses at bears in their natural environment. 

Kenai River fishing tours allow both wildlife viewing and fishing!  We would argue that the best way to see the river is WITH the distraction of fish and fishing.  Book a fishing trip and the wildlife viewing and ecotourism is included at no extra charge!
