Excursion Overview

Seward History & Exit Glacier

See more of Seward in just 2.5 hours with a tour that combines a guided look at the town's history with time to explore Exit Glacier.

Start with a Historical City Tour through Seward, learning about the town's early days, its role as an important port, and some of the events that shaped the community. From there, head to Exit Glacier, the only land-based entrance to Kenai Fjords National Park.

At Exit Glacier, you'll have time to visit the Nature Center, talk with Park Rangers, and explore the area's trails. Depending on your interests and available time, you can take an easy walk through the forest or hike toward the glacier lookout for a closer look at the landscape.

With both guided sightseeing and time to explore on your own, this tour is a good option for guests with limited time in port or those who want to see more of Seward while leaving time to explore the town independently.

This tour is typically available from May through September. Our excursions were designed for cruise ship passengers but are available to everyone.

A nice personal tour of the Seward area and a trip up to Exit Glacier were provided. He picked us up on time at the cruise terminal. We ran out of time to actually hike the glacier trail but did visit the Visitor Center. Enjoyed his friendly commentary.
