A small business with big ideas. The included drone video added a nice touch. Drivers were knowledgeable of the expansive area.
We had a great tour with Daryl. He was very knowledgeable about the area and provided personal experiences. The sled dog ride was amazing. All the staff were great. It was wonderful to hear the history and successes of the family. Stop for lunch at SeaSalt, great food and service. Hiked to exit glacier. And as advertised we were at the train on time.
We had a fantastic day visiting a dog sledding kennel and riding on a dog sled. We enjoyed petting the puppies and learning about dogs who pull the sleds. We also went to a restaurant and had a delicious lunch. We enjoyed our walk at Exit Glacier. We ended the day by seeing salmon jumping at a man made waterfall. The guides were wonderful!
This tour flew by! The dog sledding experience was awesome, the trip to the fish hatchery very interesting, together with a nice hike at Exit Glacier. Included a nice lunch at Seasalt bar and grill. Kristalina was the best!!
Even though we'd been to Seward several times, we had never done anything like this tour! Highlights - a sled dog ride and puppy snuggle with much information about the dogs and the Iditarod; time to hike to a glacier overlook; salmon running; and a man-made waterfall. A good lunch is included.
Great variety of activities. We enjoyed the driver and the many things we were able to see, highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Daryl, our tour guide and driver. Spending time at the dog sled facility (playing with puppies and going on a musher ride), taking a tour of downtown Seward and having a delicious lunch at a restaurant, and hiking up to Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords NP were all enjoyable.
This was a Great way to spend the day before we boarded our cruise ship…I loved the dog sled ride and the puppies, it was a really nice facility. And the guided walk was the perfect little challenge with several options to see the views.
This was a great day learning about dog mushing and the Iditarod. We all learned so much! And getting to cuddle puppies made it even better. Lunch was good, and plenty of options. We were worried about getting back to Seward for our 6p train to Anchorage, but everything went smoothly. Note that it is a bit of a walk from cruise port to train depot, but you can drop your luggage there if you are checked in for the train.
Tour operators are very accommodating. We came in on the train from Anchorage, they met us there - no rushing to get from depot to meet them. With advance planning they were able to load our luggage and carry with us as we are staying at an Airbnb not a hotel that picks up from the depot. The tour itself was very informative and touched on a multitude of facets of Seward. The dogs were by far my favorite, im not a cold weather person to the ability to experience being pulled by sled dogs without having to deal with snow and frigid temps was perfect for me. The glacier experience was great in appealing to the masses with its no walk, easy walk, and more difficult hike options. Seeing the salmon fight against the current was interesting as well. The low spot would be lunch. Maybe Ive just been spoiked since being here but IMO the restaurant could do better. The cups of chowder were tiny. My dad's garden salad was a small bed of lettuce with a few cherry tomatoes thrown on top. My husband's BLT was a couple pieces of bacon and some lettuce, no tomato to be found. My apple walnut salad with salmon was good, but still a small portion. Probably the most appetizing option of what I saw being served were the burger and fries. I'd suggest going that route for anyone who wants to be fueled for the following hike. Back to the accommodating part, following the tour our driver dropped each of us at our individual accommodations, with an emphasis on getting those taking the train back being dropped off first so they had plenty of time to check in, obtain boarding passes, etc. With all of our luggage in tow that was absolutely appreciated. Overall, I have done a lot of excursions, and Seavey is running a 1st rate, class act! Well done.
