Seward Resurrection River Rafting Adventure

Excursion Overview

Raft the Resurrection River Near Seward

Get ready to hit the rapids on the Resurrection River just outside Seward. This rafting adventure takes guests through Class II and III rapids with views of Exit Glacier and the surrounding peaks of Kenai Fjords National Park along the way.

The river isn't the only thing to keep an eye on. Eagles, bears, and other wildlife can sometimes be spotted along the riverbanks, so there's plenty to look for between rapids. Experienced rafting guides lead the way and provide all the gear you need for the trip.

The tour includes round-trip transportation from Seward, a complimentary dry bag, hot beverages, and secure luggage storage. Small group sizes keep the experience personal and give guests plenty of time to take in the scenery and enjoy the ride.

If you're looking for a way to see the Seward area from a different perspective, the Resurrection River Rafting Adventure is a fun way to get out on the water and experience a little bit of Alaska's wild side.

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