FAQs about Seward Tours

How do I get from Anchorage to Seward without a car?

Take the Alaska Railroad or Greyline Alaska bus from Anchorage to Seward. The train runs daily year-round, offering scenic views in about 4 hours. The bus takes roughly 2.5–3 hours and operates seasonally (May–September). Both services drop you near the Seward Harbor and Alaska SeaLife Center. Book tickets online in advance, especially in summer.

What is the best time to see wildlife in Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park?

The best time is May to September when glaciers, whales, and puffins are most active. Summer months offer peak wildlife viewing: humpback and orca whales arrive in May, puffins nest until August, and bears forage in late summer. Opt for a Kenai Fjords boat tour early in the morning for the highest wildlife sighting chances.

Is the Seward City Bus free, and does it connect to major attractions?

Yes, the Seward City Bus (Route 60) is free and runs Memorial Day through Labor Day. It connects the Seward Harbor, cruise ship terminal, Alaska SeaLife Center, downtown shops, and trailheads like the Exit Glacier Nature Center. Buses run every 30 minutes during peak hours - ideal for cruisers and visitors without rental cars.

Do I need reservations for Exit Glacier hiking trails or guided tours?

No reservations are needed for self-guided hikes on Exit Glacier trails, open year-round. However, guided glacier hikes (e.g., ice climbing or crevasse traversal) with companies like Alaska Alpine Adventures require advance booking. Check trail conditions at the Kenai Fjords National Park Visitor Center before departing. Crampons may be required in spring.
