Wenn Sie in Seward nur eines unternehmen können, dann sollten Sie die von Gletschern geformten Fjorde des Kenai Fjord National Park erkunden. Die meisten Reisenden nehmen an einer Bootstour teil, um die Fjorde und Tierwelt in Kenai zu sehen, aber Kajakabenteuer, Panoramaflüge (mit optionalen Gletscherlandungen) und die Wanderwege des Parks bieten alternative Möglichkeiten zum Erkunden. Wer mehr Zeit und ein Auto hat, sollte den Seward Highway besuchen, der von Seward nach Anchorage führt und durch einige der wildesten Gebiete Alaskas führt, vom Chugach National Forest bis zu den Kenai Mountains.
Unless you’re someone who thrives in snowy weather and freezing temperatures, you’ll want to stay away from Seward during the winter. Instead, visit the Alaskan gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park during spring or summer, particularly mid-May through September, when life in this outdoor adventurer’s paradise is buzzing and most businesses are open. Summer in Seward also can bring rainy days, so if you’re hoping to stay dry, the first half of summer is the best time to visit.
You don’t need a car in Seward. The city offers multiple free and fee-based shuttle services, including a free shuttle that has a looped route through Seward with stops near downtown and the Seward Cruise Ship Terminal. If you’re looking to get to Exit Glacier Nature Center, there's a shuttle you can take for a fee, or you can book a guided tour that provides transportation to Kenai Fjords National Park.
Many travelers are looking for kayaking and fishing tours while in Seward, but the area also offers gold mining adventures. You can look for gold by booking a tour with Adventure Sixty North, which has a company office on Herman Leirer Road. For other adventures you can’t find anywhere else, book a dog sledding experience with Seavey's IdidaRide on Old Exit Glacier Road—the family members who run the business are actual champions of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
