All Seward Tours & Excursions in 2026

Joon was our guide from Seward to anchorage. She was so sweet and since it was just my father and I she took us to places we wanted to see that we didn’t get a chance to do before leaving for home. The scheduled stops with this tour were great as well.

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.

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!

We had a great experience! The group was small so it was easy to ask lots of questions. We got up close with the sled team, took a wild ride and held 5-week old puppies. Our guide, Gideon, was friendly and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this excursion.

This was well worth doing. First, the helicopter ride out to the glacier and back was exquisite. On a clear day, the views were so beautiful that at one point I had tears in my eyes. Then the husky experience was amazing. The guides are so passionate about the dogs and the sport, riding with them was awesome and listening to their stories while we waited for the chopper to come back was great too.

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.

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!

This is one of my favorite things we did on our month long trip to Alaska. I love glaciers and this is my favorite that we saw on our trip. Watching the calving was incredible. We got so close to it. We also saw whales breaching, puffins, bald eagles, seals, and sea lions.
