Snowshoe into Seward’s winter wilderness with a local guide, discovering hidden viewpoints, glacier scenery, and fresh mountain air.
About this tour
Trade Seward’s streets for a snow-covered wilderness, where spruce forests, glacier views, and crisp mountain air set the scene for a memorable day outdoors. On this 6-hour Seward snowshoeing adventure, a local guide leads a small group of up to 12 guests into winter landscapes reached on snowshoes.
Follow the trail to hidden viewpoints overlooking the mountains and Resurrection Bay, and hear local history and stories along the way. Snowshoes and trekking poles are provided, so you can focus on the scenery and the satisfying rhythm of exploring on foot. Pause to take in the glaciated landscape, breathe the fresh air, and enjoy hot drinks during your outing. Six-hour tours also include a warming lunch of hot soup, fresh bread, and cookies.
Arrive 15 minutes early to check in, and come prepared with warm layers, winter boots, and a water bottle. With a friendly guide, intimate group size, and time to explore beyond the usual viewpoints, this Seward snowshoeing adventure offers a refreshing way to experience Alaska’s winter wilderness. Lace up and discover the quiet beauty beyond town.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.71 from 41 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Seward
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 43% in Seward means it ranks in the top 43% of tours in Seward by this score.
