It’s summertime in Alaska, and we’ve got more to celebrate than just the long sunny days — May 31st marked the grand opening of our new Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge!
Here’s what our first guests had to say:
“We had a great time at the lodge. You have the best staff and location! We got to experience kayaking for the first time — your staff’s enthusiasm allowed for the most wonderful adventure, their genuineness in sharing their knowledge and our exposure to the wilderness was wonderful. We so enjoyed everyone we met! Memories that will last a lifetime.”
– Barney and Darcie Peet, Tuscon, AZ
