  2. Full-day Northwestern Fjord cruise in Kenai Fjords National Park, Seward2

    2. Full-day Northwestern Fjord cruise in Kenai Fjords National Park

    4.9· 341 reviews· 8.5 hours

    Eight and a half hour cruise through Northwestern Fjord — wildlife sightings including whales, sea lions, and icebergs, with a deli lunch included.

    This cruise was a standout experience during our two-week trip. The smaller boat offered a more intimate setting compared to other tours. We encountered a wealth of wildlife and birds, with the crew expertly identifying them and sharing insights about the natural history. They also took our photos, provided lunch, and even gathered glacier ice for glacier margaritas. While we brought binoculars, they were available on board too. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the superpod of killer whales. They surrounded the boat, swimming and breaching, and the crew set up an underwater microphone for us to hear their vocalizations. It was truly one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. This activity is essential if you're visiting Seward.404kelseyp

    3. Full-day transit from Seward to Anchorage with wildlife and stops

    4.9· 19 reviews· 8.5 hours

    Approximately eight hours by shuttle — highlights include Exit Glacier, Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Earthquake Park, and chocolate factory stops.

    White Raven Tours met us promptly as we disembarked from our Viking ship in Seward. Our group of four was joined by another couple, and we aimed to reach Anchorage by 5:30 p.m., which we achieved perfectly. Departing the dock around 10:00 a.m., we enjoyed an incredible 7.5-hour tour. Our guide was friendly, well-informed, helpful, and had a great sense of humor. Aside from a brief stop at a candy shop, every moment enhanced our Alaskan adventure. Traveling with White Raven is the ideal way to conclude a trip from Seward to Anchorage, especially compared to taking a crowded cruise line bus that leads to a long wait at the airport.clz2733

  3. Seward to Anchorage private tour with cruise transfer, Seward6

    6. Seward to Anchorage private tour with cruise transfer

    4.7· 22 reviews· 8 hours

    Full-day transfer and tour — scenic Seward Highway, Turnagain Arm, Anchorage with a local guide, plus optional activities along the way.

    This tour is an excellent choice for those with a late flight from Anchorage after a cruise. Our fantastic guide Mike picked us up at the Seward cruise terminal, and we enjoyed around 9 hours exploring beautiful sights and learning about Alaska. While we had the option to choose what we wanted to see, we trusted Mike's judgment. In addition to the aquarium in Seward and an impressive wildlife center, he frequently stopped to share interesting sights like a lake teeming with various bird species, a glacial riverbed offering breathtaking views, and even a moose and black bear he spotted. We had lunch at the top of Alyeska ski resort, accessed via their tram, which provided stunning views. Mike's passion for Alaska was clear through the engaging stories he shared. After a memorable day filled with experiences we wouldn't have discovered on our own, he dropped us off at the Anchorage airport. I highly recommend this tour.Gene_D
