Description
The Grand Seward Tour, offered by Seward Shore Tours, is the ultimate way to experience the breathtaking beauty of Kenai Fjords National Park. This incredible adventure combines a thrilling helicopter flight with two unforgettable landings, allowing you to witness Alaska’s raw, untouched wilderness up close.
Your journey begins with a scenic flight over Resurrection Bay, often referred to as the "Gateway to the Kenai Fjords." As you soar above the stunning coastline, watch for marine wildlife before heading toward Bear Glacier, the largest glacier in the park. From the air, you'll get an unparalleled view of its deep crevasses and the massive icebergs floating in Bear Glacier Lagoon—some as large as houses.
The first landing of the Grand Seward Tour takes you right to the base of Bear Glacier’s towering ice wall, which stands over 100 feet tall. Standing at the glacier’s edge, you’ll be in awe of its sheer size and might even witness a calving event as chunks of ice crash into the water. You’ll have 30 minutes to explore and capture incredible photos before boarding the helicopter for the next stop.
Your second landing brings you to a secluded beach where ancient icebergs rest along the shore. Spend an hour exploring these massive ice formations, taking in the surrounding flora and fauna, and possibly spotting bears foraging nearby. Throughout the tour, your expert pilot/guide will share fascinating insights about the glacier’s history and the wonders of Kenai Fjords National Park.
