Must-Dos in Seward
What are people saying about Seward
Most of Alaska is wilderness, so Seward is a convenient base for exploring the great outdoors. The city is next to Kenai Fjords National Park and many Seward tours include excursions in the park. Cruises offer views of stunning glaciers and you might even spot wildlife such as otters, whales, porpoises, and puffins. If you’d prefer something more adventurous, consider a guided glacier hike, a kayaking trip on Resurrection Bay, or even a dog sled ride.

Are guided tours in Seward worth it?
Yes, guided tours in Seward are worth it, especially if your guide is a naturalist. Often, they're the only way you can spot incredible wildlife, including whales, sea otters, porpoises, and bears. They're also your ticket to seeing the fjords from the water, where you can witness a calving glacier that's not visible from shore.
Per one customer who booked the Kenai Fjords National Park Glacier & Wildlife Cruise, "Loved every minute of it! Captain pointed out various wildlife that was amazing to see! Captain also spent plenty of time at the glacier, which allowed us to take all the pictures we wanted. Definitely worth the trip!"
How much do Seward tours cost?
The cost of Seward tours varies greatly depending on tour duration, inclusions, and mode of transportation. You'll find self-guided driving tours and gold panning experiences for as little as US$40 per person. The popular boat cruises to Kenai Fjords National Park run from US$160 to US$350 per person. If money is no object, consider a flightseeing tour or private dogsledding experience.
For an immersive tour that's at the lower end of the price range, consider the Seward Alaska Historical City Tour Adventure. It starts at US$50 per person and includes a local guide who will take you around the town of Seward for one hour to the key historical sites, including Mile 0 of the Iditarod. Alternatively, you can shell out US$1,400 per person for the Private Summer Snowmobile/Helicopter Tour. It's expensive but covers the cost of a scenic helicopter flight over Resurrection Fjord and snowmobiling on the trails at Godwin Glaciers. Time permitting, you may even meet some sled dogs.
What activities are included on Seward tours?
Due to its proximity to nature, most tours in and around Seward focus on outdoor activities, so dress appropriately. Cruises that visit Kenai Fjords National Park or look for wildlife are very popular. On land, you'll find tours that offer hiking, gold panning, biking, dog sledding, rafting, fishing, and ice climbing, among other activities.
Consider an all-day or multi-day Seward tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, on the Kayak and Hike to Historic WW2 Army Fort in Alaska! tour, you'll get to hike to the top of Caines Head State Recreation Area where you can explore an abandoned army fort, paddle past floating driftwood forests that were devastated by the 1964 earthquake, and look for wildlife, all in just eight hours.
How many days in Seward is enough?
Most travelers spend 2–4 days in Seward. With around 2,700 year-round residents, the town itself is small and can be seen in just a day or two. That said, it’s the starting point for many half-day and full-day cruises and excursions that venture to Kenai Fjords National Park and farther inland, so plan another day or two for those adventures. Considering how the weather can impact an activity or tour, it’s a good idea to add an extra buffer day.
