Overview
Nestled at the head of Resurrection Bay, Seward is known for its jaw-dropping landscapes, abundant wildlife, and friendly, outdoorsy vibe. It’s a prime spot for exploring Alaska’s natural wonders—whether you’re kayaking through icy waters, spotting puffins and sea lions on a boat tour, or simply soaking in the views of snow-capped peaks. The town is also the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park, a rugged expanse of glaciers, fjords, and deep green forests.
Downtown Seward is compact and charming, with local art galleries, seafood restaurants, and a walkable harbor full of fishing boats and tour vessels. The Alaska SeaLife Center is a must-see, offering close-up encounters with marine life and insight into local ecosystems. In summer, the town comes alive with festivals and the famous Mount Marathon Race, where runners dash up and down a steep mountain trail.
Though small, Seward leaves a lasting impression with its mix of wild beauty and down-to-earth hospitality. Whether you’re setting out for a glacier hike or watching the northern lights shimmer over the bay, it’s a place that feels both remote and welcoming—classic Alaska at its best.

The Kenai Fjords National Park is one of the top attractions in Seward, offering some of the most stunning natural beauty in Alaska. The park is home to glaciers, dramatic fjords, and abundant wildlife, including sea otters, humpback whales, and puffins. Take a boat tour of the fjords to see glaciers up close and spot marine wildlife.
Tip: Opt for a half-day boat tour for a quick, yet spectacular experience of the park’s glaciers and wildlife.
Exit Glacier is one of the most accessible glaciers in Alaska and is part of the Kenai Fjords National Park. Located just a short drive from Seward, you can hike to the glacier’s base or even take the more challenging Harding Icefield Trail for panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the glacier itself.
Tip: The short, easy trail to the glacier viewpoint is perfect for those with limited time or a desire to stay close to Seward.
If you’re looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy the views, head to Seward Waterfront Park. The park offers beautiful views of the waterfront, the Seward Harbor, and nearby mountains. You can stroll along the scenic pathway, enjoy a picnic, or simply take in the peaceful atmosphere of the area.
Tip: It’s a great place to stretch your legs and grab some photos of the surrounding landscape.
The Alaska SeaLife Center is a must-visit for those interested in Alaska’s marine life. The center features interactive exhibits and live animal displays, including seals, sea lions, otters, and various fish species. You can also learn about Alaska’s ecosystems and conservation efforts.
Tip: The SeaLife Center offers an educational and family-friendly experience, and it’s located near the Seward harbor, making it easy to combine with other activities.
The Seward Highway offers one of the most scenic drives in the United States, with stunning views of the coastline, mountains, and glacial waters. If you have a bit more time, take a drive along the highway to see the rugged beauty of the region. There are many spots along the way for taking photos or enjoying a quick hike.
Tip: Make a stop at Turnagain Arm to see the unique tidal flats and, if you are lucky, you might spot some beluga whales swimming in the water.
Seward is a prime location for wildlife viewing, especially for birdwatching. You can spot bald eagles, sea otters, and puffins throughout the area. If you’re visiting in the summer months, consider a wildlife viewing tour to see more animals in their natural habitat.
Tip: Bring binoculars and a camera for wildlife viewing at the Alaska SeaLife Center or on a fjord cruise.
Another fantastic way to experience the natural beauty around Seward is by taking a glacier and wildlife cruise. Many tour companies offer full-day or half-day excursions that combine visits to the Kenai Fjords, Holgate Glacier, and Aialik Bay. Along the way, you’ll have a chance to see glaciers, icebergs, and abundant wildlife such as seals, sea lions, and whales.
Tip: Choose a tour that includes a narrated guide to learn more about the region’s natural history and wildlife.
Take a guided kayaking tour (suitable for beginners) in the protected waters of Resurrection Bay. This provides a quiet, intimate way to view marine wildlife and the rugged coastline.
Tip: Outfitters offer gear and instruction. Kayaking is a great way to get close to sea otters and seabirds.
The Seward Harbor area is home to several local shops, restaurants, and cafés where you can enjoy fresh seafood or shop for unique Alaskan souvenirs. The harbor also offers views of the surrounding mountains, making it a relaxing spot to unwind after a day of exploring.
Tip: Try some Alaskan salmon or halibut at a local restaurant for a taste of the region’s fresh seafood.
The Seward Museum offers a fascinating look at the town’s history, including its origins as a port and the 1906 earthquake that struck the region. You’ll find exhibits on the native cultures, early settlers, and important events in the town’s development.
Tip: If you have an interest in history or want to learn more about Seward’s past, this is a great place to spend some time.
