If you stay at Kennicott Lodge, including the meals is best. There is nowhere else in Kennicott to eat!

You might ask them about applying the value of the coupon to your package or something. Some vendors are more cooperative in that regard than others.

Oops. Kenai Fjords Tours stopped their 3pm departure. I took it a couple of years ago. So yes, I think 11.30am is the latest departure. Key is to get a tour that is 6 hours or longer. Fox Island is not appealing to me - I would rather be on the boat looking for wildlife.
