4-Day Alaska Seward Summer Camping Tour from Anchorage: Kenai Fjord National Park and Exit Glacier [Max 13 Small Group]

Our guide knew every trail, every tide schedule, and exactly where the bears would be. He also spotted a lynx on the drive back – stopped the van, handed out binoculars. His passion for Alaska was contagious. Tipped him.

The visit to Denali and the SeaLife Center was particularly memorable. We also loved the time spent at the dog sled homestead. Every activity had something for both kids and adults. Highly recommend for families wanting a balance of nature, fun, and learning.
