Ecotourism. It’s all the rage. Both adventure travel and sustainable travel have become increasingly popular.
According to The International Ecotourism Society, the current definition of ecotourism is “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education.”
Travelers want to explore new and exciting areas. Ecotourists aspire to travel sustainably and educate themselves along the way. You can be both a traveler and an ecotourist.
More often than not, both travelers and ecotourists visit destinations that will invest in their holistic health. If this sounds like you, then you definitely want to consider accommodation at Alaska Wildland Adventures’ Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge.
Welcome to Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge
Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge offers ecotourists and visiting guests alike the chance to embark upon the Pedersen Glacier wildlife sanctuary. The Pedersen Glacier wildlife sanctuary is a lagoon located within Kenai Fjords National Park. This enormous wildlife reserve is located on the outskirts of a small town known as Seward, Alaska. There are many things to do. An ecotourist can choose to visit the Exit Glacier, kayak, hike, mountaineer, or fish, among other things.
Visitors can even spend the night in the park. There are public use cabins that tourists can use for an overnight experience near Exit Glacier. This may appeal to you if you wish to do more activities the following day. As if all the activities are not enough to fill the first day!
Let’s move on from the parks. After all, there is so much to do at Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge. Not only are guests provided with the exclusive opportunity to explore Pedersen Glacier wildlife sanctuary, they are also offered pampering. After a day at the national park, pampering is just what your sore muscles need. Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge includes a variety of rejuvenating, relaxing, and invigorating wellness amenities.
For those seeking a unique Alaska vacation, Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge has a tremendous amount to offer.
Getting There Is Half the Excitement
Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge is nestled deep within Alaska’s Kenai Fjords National Park. Located on a peninsula in front of a small lagoon (the Pedersen Glacier wildlife center!), it is only accessible by water and air.
That being said, you get to enjoy an incredible boat tour. Traversing gorgeous Alaskan waters both to and from the lodge, you will witness the beauty that is Alaska. It is likely that you will see all types of incredible wildlife. Make sure you pack your camera! You’ll want those snapshots later.
Whales, sea lions, otters, and dozens of unique species of birds frequent these waters. The variety of animals offer amazing opportunities for sightseeing. Photographers love capturing the beauty of these Alaskan natives in their natural habitat. Despite the photographers, you don’t have to be camera-savvy to record some images of Alaska’s exquisite wildlife! Get some pictures on your phone to show your family and friends back home. Update your Facebook timeline for your parents and grandparents. There’s no need to withhold Alaska’s beauty. Share it with everyone you know!
