| If you're looking
for a sightseeing cruise with non-stop wildlife,
Seward is the place to be; if you can't choose
between wildlife and glaciers, head into
Kenai Fjords National Park. Major Marine
Tours run two cruises out of Seward-a half-day
cruise of Resurrection Bay or a full-day
exploration of Kenai Fjords. They offer guaranteed
reserved seating in a heated cabin, a salmon
and prime rib buffet (a steal at $19), and
cruises 5 hours or longer are hosted by a Kenai Fjords National Park ranger. |

| With just a 10- to 15-minute drive out of Seward, you can hike up close to Exit Glacier and experience the dense blue ice while listening to it crackle. Walk the lower trail (a gentle half mile) to get a good photo in front of the glacier face. The upper trail provides an overlook, as if you're standing right on the glacier. |
