Make your plans to visit Seward right away! There are two things you MUST do when you visit:

a. Go to the Alaska SeaLife Center. It’s right on the water and it’s the largest aquarium in Alaska! Seals. Sea otters. Halibut. Salmon. Sea Anenomes. King Crab. Giant Squid. Octopus. Puffins. You’ll see them all! It will tempt you to go out on Resurrection Bay! DO IT…see below!

b. Take the six-hour Kenai FjordsNational Park Cruise with Renown Tours. We’ve done this cruise several times and it’s fabulous. You’ll sail past h-u-g-e glaciers, with harbor seals relaxing on ice flows right in front of the glaciers. You’ll see eagles soaring overhead. Keep your eyes peeled for moose and sheep on the shore. Watch for sea lions at one of several pull-outs on the route.  Never mind the whales. Watch for orcas and  humpbacks! Throw in a couple of porpoises…you get the idea! This is a great cruise. Don’t miss it, particularly since it’s 20 percent off. Check the website for details.

Umm. I guess there are three things to do and see. Don’t forget to drive up to see Exit Glacier. This is a free attraction–and it’s worth it just to get out and stretch your legs.

We’ll see you in Seward!!

Stay two nights at Glacier Bay Lodge inside Glacier Bay National Park. Remember, Glacier Bay is just 60 miles from Juneau. Here’s a shot:

The folks who run Glacier Bay Lodge inside the park also offer a whale watching dinner cruise and a ferry between Juneau and Glacier Bay.

When you stay two nights, you can get the 2-for-1 discount on either the ferry from Juneau or the whale watching/dinner cruise. (more…)

See the Great One–at a Great Savings!

It’s called the “Sourdough Special” and it’s designed exclusively for Alaska residents. Call now and make your summertime reservations for 50 percent off. The rates start at just $128 per night at all four Denali Park Resorts hotels near the park entrance: McKinley Village, McKinley Chalets, The Grande Denali and Denali Bluffs.  This special rate is available Thu.-Sun. and is subject to availability.

This is a great chance to lock in some super savings at hotels which are right by the park entrance! You’re in just the right spot to see the wildlife! Ask about your special wildlife tours while you’re making your reservations!

Reservations must be made with an Alaska billing address. Guests must show an Alaska driver’s license or other Alaska ID at check-in. If you cancel 31 days or more prior to arrival, there is a 10 percent cancellation fee. Reservations canceled within 30 days of arrival are non-refundable.

I just got off the phone with my friends there at Denali Park Resorts. They’re excited about this special–but it won’t last long. Call (800) 276-7234 right away. Learn more online.
