Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Journey along Alaska's only National Scenic Byway and take a trip into the historic town of Seward. Once in Seward, named for President Lincoln's Secretary of State who negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia. SeaLife Center is Alaska's only public aquarium and world-class coldwater marine research facility. Visitors to this ''window on the sea'' have close encounters with puffins, octopus, sea lions and other marine life while peeking over the shoulders of ocean scientists studying Alaska's rich seas and diverse sea life. Nearly 2,000 invertebrates, fish, seabirds, and marine mammals are on exhibit, including puffins, seals, starfish, and various seabirds. Our Lodge team will provide information on these and other optional activities such as a side trip to Exit Glacier, one of the more accessible glaciers in Alaska or inquire about a two-mile ride on an Iditarod dog sled. These optional excursions are available for an additional charge.
