There are a number of things to do in Seward, including the Alaska SeaLife Center, the only aquarium in Alaska that combines its aquarium and other functions. Visitors can observe puffins, seals, and many species of fish, as well as octopus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in seeing wildlife up close, you may want to consider taking a sea kayaking tour in Seward. These tours allow you to reach remote coves and get up close and personal with local marine life. Kayakers Cove, located across Resurrection Bay, provides overnight and multi-day kayak rentals, as well as private cabins and hostel-style accommodations. This is a great way to experience Seward&#8217;s natural beauty and see some of the most spectacular sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Seward, there are many festivals to enjoy. The 4th of July is especially big, with parades and a famous foot race up Mt. Marathon. You can also check out the Silver Salmon Derby, which is the oldest fishing derby in Alaska and is held the second week of August. You can catch the biggest fish during this fishing tournament, or you can take in the Seward Music and Arts Festival. There are dozens of events to choose from, including performances by local artists, and plenty of tasty foods and beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiking is one of the most enjoyable free things to do in Seward. It&#8217;s suitable for all skill levels, and if you&#8217;re a beginner or want to enjoy the outdoors, there&#8217;s a trail for you. The Exit Glacier loop trail is one of the most impressive and beautiful hikes in the area. The Exit Glacier trail is a great choice for first-timers and families alike. There are plenty of other trails nearby, and there are even some in the city itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who want to see Alaska wildlife up close, there are several tours available at the SeaLife Center. Experienced guides will show you where to find the best fish. You can even opt for a half-day or a full-day fishing trip. Once you catch your prize, you can ship it to a processing facility. Aerial sightseeing opportunities are also plentiful in Seward, so you can explore the region from a different perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While exploring the area, be sure to take in the incredible views of the Kenai Fjords. From sea kayaking to whale watching, this city is a prime destination for visitors who want to get a taste of real Alaska. And don&#8217;t forget to grab a coffee while you&#8217;re there! It&#8217;s one of the most popular attractions in Seward. You can even catch a ride on the Alaska Railroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A small coastal town at the end of scenic Resurrection Bay flanked by craggy mountains, Seward is a popular stop for many Alaska cruises.
