Tour Resurrection Bay, a haven for marine wildlife framed by rugged cliff walls. Birdwatchers will delight in spying colorfully beaked puffins, cliff-breeding fulmars, and black-and-white murres colonies. Take a boat tour of the bay from Seward for a chance to see leaping orcas, humpback whales, seals, sea otters, and sea lions. Visit Fox Island and Bear glacier for a chance to see black bears, wolves, and coyotes in their natural environment. Fish for salmon or take a hike in the Caines Head State Recreation Area for expansive views of the bay. Choose to start, finish, or center your holiday on a trip to Resurrection Bay by using our Seward journey planning website.

    Great to watch the tides come in and out. How large this bay is and how empty the bay is at low tide.  more »
  • By Questovia
    This beautifully protected bay is so full of birds, fish and onshore wildlife that you are never quite sure which direction to look. Gorgeous, gorgeous.  more »
