Truly awe- inspiring and an unforgettable gift to witness this. Captain Gary and Holly, Chris and Anna were an absolutely expert crew. There was one hour of rougher sea where we were out of the bay and the crew was very attentive and supportive, checking in on every passenger to make sure we were okay. Loved and appreciated Gary’s calm voice and his and the crews knowledge and love of the Kenai Fjords. Thank you !!”

Seward husky sled ride with a real dog-mushing tour: meet the team, cuddle puppies, learn Iditarod training, plus van pickup and hot drinks.

I ended up on a cart with two other groups, but since I was alone I ended up standing on the back of the cart with the musher, which was actually pretty fun.”
