The Harding spills out in all directions in the form of glaciers. Some stretch northwest into rugged hills of the Kenai Peninsula. Others—five of them, to be exact—reach as far as the sea along the craggy coast of the Gulf of Alaska.

This is a Must Do trip - Very informative, well organised trip. We were lucky with the weather and experienced heaps of wildlife: lots of orcas, humpback whales, stellar sea lions, sea otters, mountain goats with their babies, a bear. Our captain did not miss anything. We thoroughly enjoyed that boat trip

Great experience - Great tour. Went on the first national forest tour of the season. Did not expect it to be as good as it was. Saw lots of orcas, lots of humpbacks, porpoise’s, seals, sea lions, otters, bald eagles, puffins, big chunks of ice falling off the glacier!!! Crew was amazing, accommodating, and helpful! Captain was great at pointing things out and very knowledgeable! Stopped when there was things to see and was very good at positioning the boat for us to see things. Highly recommend checking this out if you are in Seward. Worth the drive from anchorage to Seward(it’s a beautiful drive anyways)! 10/10 will be back for another tour next time we are in ak.

Amazing - Amazing tour! The captain stopped so we could see orca, an eagle, harbor seals, sea lions, otters, and puffins. Since the day was calm and beautiful he showed us a few different islands. The glacier is breathtaking! Overall great tour- the 6 hours fly by.

The excursion was fantastic - The glacier. Book directly though as logistics to get on the boat and check in through the third party was very bad. The excursion on the boat was excellent. Captain and the crew were outstanding!
