Seward is an hour and a half drive away from Soldotna and Kenai. Seward is easily accessible via the Seward Highway, the Alaska Railroad, bus, air, or cruise ship. The first thing you will notice about Seward is the busy harbor and historic downtown district filled with charming shops and art galleries.

                If you love water then Seward is your destination! You can take a kayak tour, a sailing adventure, or do some world-class fishing for halibut or salmon. Kenai Fjords National Park is a Seward treasure. Visitors can experience the park on a day cruise or by foot at Exit Glacier. After enjoying the beautiful outdoors you can head down to the Alaska SeaLife Center and enjoy the marine life that shares our environment.

                The Kenai Fjords tour is a must while in Seward. There are six different day cruises to choose from that will fit your needs. The first option is the National Park Tour which is a 6 or 8.5 hour cruise you can take through the Gulf of Alaska.
