Alaskan Activities
Our hope is that you’ll have the chance to spend some time exploring Alaska before or after the wedding. There are so many incredible ways to experience this beautiful place.
Nearby sites to explore: Kenai Fjords National Park, Caines Head State Recreation Area, Chugach National Forest, and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
Wildlife tours are one of the best ways to explore the Kenai Fjords National park and experience Alaska’s incredible animals in their natural habitat. Boat tours from Seward offer the chance to see whales, sea lions, puffins, and other marine wildlife! June is an excellent time for these tours.
Wildlife Tours
Seward offers hiking for every level—with incredible views of mountains, glaciers, and wildlife along the way. Be sure to pack plenty of water, sturdy sneakers or hiking boots, and any traction gear if that’s your jam. This is bear country, so carry bear spray and follow local safety guidelines while you explore! Lanie’s top hiking recommendations include:
Exit Glacier (Easy, 2.2 mi)
Lost Lake and Clemens Cabin (Moderate, 6.8 mi)
Harding Icefield (Strenuous, 8.8 mi)
Hiking
Kayaking in Seward is one of the best ways to experience Resurrection Bay and the Kenai Fjords National Park. Paddle through calm, clear waters with views of glaciers, waterfalls, and possibly even sea otters or seals. Guided tours are widely available and great for both beginners and experienced paddlers.

Kayaking
For those of you that are a little more adventurous, there are opportunities to explore the beautiful glaciers of Alaska. Guided tours for beginners and experienced ice climbers allow you to explore the glaciers with crampons and an ice axe. You can scale small ice walls and experience the glaciers up close.
Other Glacier Adventures
Seward is a charming harbor town with great food, local shops, and a relaxed coastal vibe. Spend time walking along the waterfront, exploring the small downtown, or visiting the Alaska SeaLife Center. It’s an easy place to wander, unwind, and soak in the beauty of Alaska.
Seward
Seward is known as the “Halibut Fishing Capital of the World!” You can book a half-day charter or just wander the harbor. Fishing is a huge part of the local culture. June is a great time to be on the water, with stunning views and the chance to reel in halibut, salmon, and more.
