RoupMom Posted April 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Has anyone simply stayed in Seward instead of going to Anchorage? I believe our HAL cruise uses Seward as the access point. DH isn't thrilled with the idea of a 3-4 hour each way trip to get to Anchorage if there are interesting things to do in Seward. We'll be there from 7AM -11 PM. I did a search a found one mention of the Alaska Sea Life Center, but not much of anything else. Web sites list wildlife cruises, etc., but I wonder if anyone has experience? Thanks in advance for any info you can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted April 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2011 There is plenty to do in Seward. Go to Exit Glacier, take a cruise to the Kenai Fjords glaciers, the Sea Life Center, fishing, hiking, shopping, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaciers Posted April 27, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Seward is one of the more diverse places in Alaska to do things. Actually a highlight for many. http://www.seward.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted April 27, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2011 http://www.sewardak.org/visit/activities.htm Seward is VERY small; you walk along the bay from the harbor to the downtown, maybe a mile. Taxi's are very inexpensive to get around town if you don't want to walk. Its fun to wander around the harbor and watch the fisherman come in with their catch. Take a taxi to Exit Glacier where you can walk a trail to the edge of the glacier. Kenai Fjords day tours are a highlight for seeing seals, otters, probably whales, puffins, bald eagles, and watch an active glacier calve. Take a cruise that is at least 6 hrs, not the 3 hr Bay cruise. Go to Thorns Showcase Lounge for halibut and chips " a bowl of but". It's a smokey locals place so go early or take out if the smoke will bother you. Best halibut ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
