The train follows along the Seward Highway for a portion of the way but then climbs into the mountains where you will see things that those riding in cars or busses do not have the opportunity to see. It takes more time riding the train, 4 hours and 20 minutes, and there is only one departure out of Anchorage every morning to Seward Alaska.
So if you choose the train adventure, please check the time schedule when you are closer to your travel dates. Traveling by bus is kind of the best of both worlds. The ride is about three hours, and you have the opportunity to relax and see the sights while someone else does the driving for you. Ticket prices are reasonable and you can purchase a round trip always a bit more economical or one-way ticket.
As an added bonus, if you want to visit or explore a location along the Seward Highway from Anchorage to Seward Alaska the bus is hop on hop off. Make sure you also check for current prices and the Alaska Park Connection Motorcoach schedule as you finalize your plans to visit Seward Alaska.
Finally, you can rent a car if you so desire. If you are considering a rental car for the one-way trip from Anchorage to Seward Alaska, you might want to reconsider as there is a hefty fee to leave the car in Seward Alaska. If you are planning to meet your cruise ship, or you will be staying in and around Seward, you probably will not need a car anyway.
Considering train or bus travel might be a bit cheaper for your vacation budget. Because of its geographic location, Seward is one of the towns in Alaska blessed with temperate and mild temperatures. This is one of the things I like about Seward. Unless you are visiting Seward Alaska in the dead of winter, you can plan on leaving your heavy ski-style parka at home.
Dress warmly in layers instead and check the temperature of Seward Alaska the month you are traveling for up-to-date weather conditions. In Seward, the mountains and the ocean literally touch each other which makes for absolutely gorgeous views. What waits for you in Seward Alaska will take your breath away. The glaciers that originate in the Harding Icefield spill out and down the mountains slowly and carefully rearranging the landscape, until they find their way in the fjords of Resurrection Bay.
And because it is so easily accessible to the public it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Alaska. It is located just a few miles north of town off the Seward Highway, and at the end of an 8-mile spur road clearly marked off the Seward Highway. If you are visiting Seward and do not have a car, do not worry. Downtown Seward Alaska has many tours operating to take you to see the glacier and even has reliable bus service. Word of caution though: once you arrive at Exit Glacier there is no cell service.
There will be no way for you to contact your tour operator or bus provider. So make sure you know exactly what time your ride back to Seward Alaska leaves Exit Glacier. You will want to stop at the Nature Center and speak with a Kenai National Fjords Park ranger for specific information on what to do and hikes to take depending on the amount of time you have at the attraction.
Exit Glacier is a blunt and harsh indicator of glacial recession. When you visit you will see markers along the walkways that are visible indicators of how far and how fast Exit Glacier is receding. Likely due to global warming. Each marker indicates where the glacier was in the progression of years that they mark. You will want to make use of the bathrooms just to the right of the Nature Center before you head on out to explore Exit Glacier.
There is fresh running water available. There are picnic tables located adjacent to the parking lot for you to take advantage of for a snack and a rest before or after your visit to the glacier. Think whales, puffins, sea lions, and those cute little sea otters. How about watching glacier calving and actually hearing it break apart and fall fabulously into the chilly waters of Resurrection Bay!?
No trip to Seward Alaska could be complete without taking a wildlife and glacier cruise. At the Seward Alaska harbor, there are several companies for you to choose from. I have been on two scenic wildlife cruises when visiting Seward Alaska, one was a half-day 4-hour cruise, and my last cruise was the Full Day 7. There is nothing whatsoever that can match seeing the crystal clear blue waters of Resurrection Bay, the lush green forested mountains and the incredible glaciers from the air.
I had never ridden in a helicopter, and I was extremely apprehensive. I wondered if would I get motion sickness, as I tend to do. But, Mike, the owner of Marathon Helicopters was very reassuring. Lift off, flying and landings were all so smooth. I was not afraid, and I did not suffer from any motion sickness. But, the best part of the experience was landing on a glacier. Wow, was that an unforgettable experience.
I would highly recommend you consider a flightseeing experience during your trip to Seward Alaska. Using these useful packing tips will enhance your experiences while hopefully keeping you organized while in Seward, Alaska. A concealed travel pouch may be one of the most important items you bring with you on your 3 days in London trip.
