We're from England and stayed here for 3 nights, 2 full days, at the beginning of our Alaska experience. It was absolutely fabulous. By far the highlight of our 15 days in AK. Absolutely stunning scenery, brilliant hosts and guides, the kayak trip to the Aialik glacier will be forever in our memories. Outstanding food and a great bar, I never expected draught beer in so remote a place, but there were 3 to choose from. And as for the Glaceriatas, out of this world!!! Like most (but not all) we met, we're in the active retired category, so if you're looking for massive hikes or full on adrenaline activities, you may be disappointed. Or you could follow one of the guides on their day off... No Wifi or cell coverage, unless it's an emergency, which just added to the experience...

Beautiful location, great adventure, and comfortable cabins

We had been looking forward to our stay at KFGL for months and found it to be a great place in a beautiful location. We had booked 3 nights at the lodge, but because of weather in the Gulf of Alaska (which can be rough and unpredictable), we weren't able to get there for the first night. Then because of more weather moving in, we decided to return to Seward a day early, which was a disappointment, but we've been to Alaska before, so we know these things can happen! However, absolutely everyone at Alaska Wildland Adventures was extremely accommodating and helpful through all these changes, and they took good care of us, putting us up in Seward the first night and at Kenai Riverside Lodge the third night. They even helicoptered our bags to us when they were accidentally behind at the Glacier Lodge. We were extremely impressed with their "above and beyond" service all the way! While we were at the lodge, they provided all the gear we needed and took us out where we could see harbor seals, sea otters, bald eagles, salmon running, and a black bear! The cabins were extremely comfortable, and the food was great. Highly recommend Alaska Wildland Adventures and all their lodges!

This is a delightful place to stay. The cabins are very comfortable and the meals quite good. The staff is exceptional!!! Think about young adults doing the job of their dreams! You arrive after a four hour cruise. You don't know what you might see or what the weather will be like BUT you will enjoy it. Out trip had a bit of rough water but you would expect that to be a possibility considering its location. You will be with a comfortable group with people from around the world possible. Our weather was a bit cloudy but we had no issues. My wife paddled a kayak up near the glacier. She was thrilled to say the least. NO WIFI. NO INTERNET. NO CELL SIGNAL. There is an emergency communication system available. I really enjoyed this part of our vacation. You should try it

What a remote hidden gem! From the minute you step onto the boat and experience 4 + hours of wildlife sightings, until you dock on the beach and walk to the lodge, you know that you are in a magical place. The staff is so welcoming and experienced, the cabins cozy and the food outstanding. We highly recommend this lodge, and all their activities.

An AMAZING place with even better people

This place is incredible. The entire organization and staff take customer care and service to a new level. This is not hyperbole - they not only embrace it, they live it. It must start at the top of the organization, and that is a testament to the entire company. The KF Glacier Lodge is exceptional in its own right. You are picked up in Seward for a 4 hour boat ride for glacier viewing and marine mammal viewing. Great boat experience. Upon arrival at the lodge, there is a 10 minute walk to "check-in/orientation" and the cabins. We had the Spruce Cabin. The trails around the facility are great to explore. There are so many things they offer for you to experience, sea kayaking, hiking, canoeing, behind the scenes tour, just chilling, etc. There are a lot of black bears in the area - so have your camera ready. It is a beautiful property, and they do such a great job respecting the indigenous tribe that own the land. Hats off to Lily, Ben and Harrison for all they did for/with us. It was a truly memorable experience.
