Welcome to Seward, Alaska; where your wildest dreams become a reality, right before your very eyes!
Seward's largest annual event is the 4th of July Mt. Marathon Race where visitors come from all around the globe to participate in (and watch) the notoriously steep mountain climb.
One of the very top rated excursions in the Last Frontier is located right here in Seward. A Kenai Fjords Tour into the renowned Kenai Fjords National Park is utterly life-changing.
Don't forget to keep an eye out for those little creatures that look like mini-penguins. Tufted and horned puffins are famous for their bright orange peaks and vibrant, distinctive colors. They are absolutely stunning and you will not be able to stop snapping photos of them.
Oh, and a trip to Alaska wouldn't be complete without larger-than-life views of glacial land.
If you're in Seward, you're in luck! On a fishing vessel or a Kenai Fjords Tour you'll have insane opportunities to view huge glaciers while listening to the thundering sounds of the ice chunks calving in the distance.
If you're into the eco-tourism scene, Seward is an excellent place to enjoy kayaking and stand-up paddle-boarding right in the middle of God's green (and blue) earth.
Although the town of Seward is relatively compact, it is actually very well developed with shops, restaurants, lodging and the incredible Alaska Sealife Center.
With great places to stay and a town full of friendly people willing to help achieve the ultimate Alaska vacation, you'll regret not staying a while and soaking in all that the town has to offer.
Many visitors are surprised to learn that Mile 0 of the Historic Iditarod Trail is located in the community of Seward. The town is truly loaded with history.
In the early 1900s this trail was blazed with the intention of being able to transport people and goods to and from the port of Seward to the northern interior region of Alaska.
Hiking in and around Seward is guaranteed to give you wanderlust for life.
