Question: If I'm flying to Alaska for a 3-4 day trip hiking/camping, can I go directly to my booked lodge and hike into the national park the next morning? I'm confused about the specifics of this "7/14 day quarantine upon arrival" process.
A:
The current Alaska travel restrictions are available at covid19.alaska.gov/travelers/#nonres and have the answers you’re looking for, but in short, you need to get a test done …
The current Alaska travel restrictions are available at covid19.alaska.gov/travelers/#nonres and have the answers you’re looking for, but in short, you need to get a test done no greater than 3 days before you travel to Alaska so you can show them a negative test once you arrive if you want to avoid a 7-14 day quarantine. If you don’t get tested before, you can get tested at the airport but will need to voluntarily quarantine until you get your test results. I believe it is still on the honor system so going into Kenai Fjords would probably be the better choice for a “quarantine activity” as long as you were able to properly social distance and mask when needed.
Should I go to Kenai Fjords National Park in July? I like the glaciers and fjords of Kenai. I also like the small seaside town and how secluded it is. Should I go for a week in July or so because I can see it getting repetitive and idk how much there is to do? Should I go to another park? Btw I haven’t been to any major national parks. What do you all think?
A:
July would be a perfect month. Not sure you can land in the park as we have a day water trip.
Do the waters have waves on the boat tours in Kenai Fjords? We get seasick in waves in the regular oceans but these look pretty calm. Thanks, Jesse
A:
We have been out from there several times and it is normally pretty calm. However, if the wind picks up, the waves can start to build. On our latest trip, the waves were larger than …
We have been out from there several times and it is normally pretty calm. However, if the wind picks up, the waves can start to build. On our latest trip, the waves were larger than usual and some people did get seasick. Sorry, not a perfect answer but I don’t think that calm seas are guaranteed.
