What are people saying about Seward

Full-Day Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise

Stephen_C, Sept 2026

Unforgettable Kenai Fjords Experience

An incredible day exploring Kenai Fjords. The scenery was spectacular, with stunning glaciers up close, rugged coastline, and plenty of wildlife along the way. The cruise was well organised, comfortable, and the crew were friendly and informative. A fantastic experience and definitely a highlight of our Alaska trip!

Kenai Fjords National Park Glacier & Wildlife Cruise

Carol_C, Sept 2026

Absolute high point of vacation. You must do this!

Everything was so well organized. Easy check in, comfortable waiting area. Loved that seating (tables) on board were assigned (no stress). Boat was very comfortable, and made for easy viewing. Easy to go from warm/enclosed space to outside viewing areas. Crew exceptional - took safety very seriously, and worked hard to ensure everyone knew what was coming (e.g. rough-ish water for five minutes), and did a fantastic job of pointing out wildlife. The captain made sure we spent time with an active pod of orcas, enjoyed the porpoises that were “playing” with the boat, and had an incredible, close and more than sufficient time right next to the Aialik glacier that kept calving for us. This was an absolute highlight of our 10 days in Alaska.

Amazing! We were so lucky to see the glacier calving a lot sending small tsunami’s toward our boat. And we saw sea lions, killer whales, Mexican sailboat, otters, porpoises. We had an all women crew and loved it. The food was delicious. I have all ready recommended to friends.

Half-day Resurrection Bay & Wildlife Tour from Seward

Chris_E, Aug 2026

One in a lifetime experience

This trip was truly magical, the best excursion our family has ever taken. We had such an amazing time on our boat piloted by an all-woman crew. Our experience was amplified by the impeccable eye of our guide who pointed out a fin whale, jelly fish, and an otter. And of course, seeing orcas for the first time in the wild was a bucket-list experience that we will never forget! 10/10 we just can’t recommend enough!

Turning Heads Kennel Dogsledding Experience & Tour

tedrosehelmii, Aug 2026

Great Tour

There was a little confusion regarding pick up, but once that was worked out it was a great experience. Especially if you like dogs and the outdoors. The tour was conducted by young individuals who truly have a passion for what they do. The puppies were so cute and the sled ride was interesting. Overall it was very informative and a great way to spend the morning.

Seward, Alaska

When you put just know that if you’re coming from Anchorage and going to Seward, please know that the late train I think is the only one leaves at 6 PM so make sure you got plenty of water in our food but other than that it is a great trip if you haven’t done it I suggest you do to it.

It was perfect.

Helicopter Glacier & Dog Sledding Adventure Tour

Alissa_G, Aug 2026

Must do experience!!!

An absolute highlight of our trip to Alaska! The glacier flight up to the camp was breathtaking, offering stunning aerial views of the landscape. Once we landed on the snow, the energy of the dogs was incredible. The mushers were highly knowledgeable, passionate, and took excellent care of the dogs. Getting to drive the sled on real glacier snow in the middle of summer was an unforgettable, bucket-list experience. We also loved cuddling the puppies back at the kennel. If you are visiting Seward, this tour is worth every single penny.

Seward Shore Excursion: Pre- or Post-Cruise Kenai Fjords National Park Tour

Sunny_J, Aug 2026

Finally got to see the real Alaska!

I am so happy I booked this boat tour with Kenai Fjords! After our 7 day cruise from Vancouver to Seward, where I spotted nothing from the ship (others saw whales but I didn't), I was bummed until I went on this boat tour. Almost immediately, we spotted orcas! Then 2 different humpback whales (including a fluke), puffins, sea otters, sea lions, a fast moving porpoise and the piece de resistance... A huge glacier! We got so close! The crew fished a piece of glacier ice out of the water and we got to hold it. I even had a glacier ice water! The clearest ice you've ever seen. The boat captain and crew members were so attentive, informative, and fun. Even though my kid got sick on the boat, the majority of people were fine and I didn't think the boat rocked too much. Every time we stopped, our captain made sure to stay for awhile and maneuver the boat for the best viewing of the wildlife. I took 400+ photos. This was the highlight of my 12 day trip to Alaska. The boat also has a great burrito, chips, and salsa for lunch, plenty of snacks/drinks for purchase and some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to end the day. They also held our luggage in their secured room in their office while we were in the tour. They made everything very easy from start to finish.

An Unforgettable Glacier Hiking Experience with an Amazing Guide!

This was an amazing experience and definitely a must-do activity in Alaska! A special thank-you to our guide, Nick. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about Alaska, as well as the trees, plants, and flowers we encountered along the way. As beginners, we really appreciated his clear, step-by-step instructions. He reminded us when to remove layers as we hiked uphill and made sure we were wearing the proper clothing and gear before stepping onto the glacier. Thanks to his guidance, we quickly learned how to hike safely and confidently on the ice. Nick made the entire experience fun, educational, and unforgettable. We highly recommend this tour!
