About Seward

Why Visit Seward, Alaska

Nestled on the scenic Kenai Peninsula, Seward is the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park. Explore the area on a cruise, hike local fjords, and enjoy the company of seals and puffins on your Alaskan adventure!

Seward is known for being the starting point of the Iditarod Trail, originally used by Native Alaskans for hunting and travel. Today, it's famous for the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, where participants must finish with at least five dogs on the towline.

Seward offers some of Alaska's best, less-crowded tourist attractions. Popular activities include hiking, with Exit Glacier being a must-visit for its scenic views. Other activities include salmon viewing, tide pooling, shopping for local art, visiting the Alaskan SeaLife Center, kayaking, and dog sledding.

For the best experience, visit Seward between May and September to avoid the harsh winter, as many businesses temporarily close during the colder months.
