Our Wedding

It starts as any typical millennial dating story. We were both on Hinge dating app at the same time. I was helping a friend tailor their profile and wasn’t really looking for anyone but then I saw Iku. He wasn’t holding a fish or some hunting trophy and we had a lot in common. After the first two days we became inseparable and now we are ready to begin the next step in our life journey together

Other hotels may also have this option. Be careful if you choose this as Seward doesn't really have any taxis. So be sure your accommodations have transportations.

Alaska Railroad

They have a lot of tour bus options to get you around alaska. They offer a trip to Seward out of Anchorage. Please keep in mind that if you choose this , Seward does not have much in the way of taxis , make sure your accommodation has transportation around town.

this is a wildlife viewing cruise where you can see whales , sea lions , otters and more. There is a shuttle from the hotel to the port. My dad used to be an engineer on the boats for Phillips cruises and they are a blast.

Kenai Fjords Cruise by Phillips Cruises & Tours

Another wildlife sightseeing cruise. I really enjoyed my experience with this company but both of them I listed are good options. If you are staying at the windsong, they told me the shuttle will take you to the harbor to catch the boat.

Major Marine Tours - South Harbor Office

there are A LOT of fishing charters out of Seward, I am just adding this company for reference. They take you out with all equipment provided and they will help process and ship the fish wherever you want.

If you like kayaking, this will be an awesome way to explore seward and catch some wildlife. Weather is perfect in July for this.

This isnt in Seward but it is on the way and definitely worth the stop if you want to see some bears, birds, and bison. Plus all proceeds go to supporting the animals.
