About Kenai / Soldotna Alaska


The twin cities of Kenai and Soldotna, some 65 miles south of Anchorage, are the population centers of the Kenai Peninsula
Fly with Era Aviation to Kenai Borough, which encompasses the Kenai Peninsula, Cook Inlet and a large area northeast of the Alaska Peninsula. The area is renowned for world-class sportfishing and rafting. The king salmon appear in Cook Inlet beginning in late May, then gradually find their way into the river systems, with numbers peaking from late June through mid-July. Red salmon are also readily abundant in Kenai Peninsula during July. In August look for silver salmon in good numbers, continuing into September. Closely following the silvers are energetic dolly varden who like to feed on salmon eggs that float down stream from spawning grounds. 

 

 

Prices listed include all taxes and fees.
