The highway connecting Anchorage to Seward is a route worthy of multiple drives. This special discounted rate for roundtrip travel on the same day provides even more incentive. It's an ideal choice for visitors with limited time who'd like to fit in a Kenai Fjords National Park day cruise, kayak trip, or guided hiking excursion in Seward.
A route worthy of multiple drives.
Designated a National Scenic Byway, the 130 miles to Seward offer splendid views of southcentral Alaska. Passengers on the comfortable Park Connection bus line drive along the Turnagain Arm past Girdwood and Portage before winding southward into the Kenai Mountains. The road tops out in Turnagain Pass and then descends past many picturesque lakes into Seward. The return trip retraces this scenic route.
Roundtrip Park Connection passengers travel on the Seward Express route. It departs from the Dena'ina Civic Center in downtown Anchorage 7:00 AM and drops passengers off at the Seward Windsong Lodge and Small Boat Harbor at about 9:45 AM. The return coach departs from the Small Boat Harbor at 6:30 PM and the Seward Windsong Lodge at 6:45 PM. Passengers are dropped off at either the airport or Dena'ina Civic Center at about 9:30 PM.
The Park Connection runs a fleet of modern 52-seat Prevost motorcoaches. Passengers onboard enjoy comfortable reclining seats equipped with seatbelts, footrests, armrests, and outlets. Seating is first-come, first-served. There is one lavatory located in the rear of the bus. Large luggage is stowed by Park Connection staff in lower bays. Guests can store their smaller items in overhead bins.
Park Connection drivers provide casual commentary on the surrounding area, keeping it light to give passengers time to relax and enjoy the picturesque wonder of Alaska's landscape. Photo stops may be made at the driver's discretion as weather and time permits.
The motorcoaches have large picture windows at every seat, so bring a camera onboard to capture the scenery along the way.
The Park Connection allows two bags per person and one small carry on item. Additional fees may apply for excessively large oversized bags or items like bicycles, fish boxes, fishing equipment, or climbing equipment. There is no charge for items like strollers, car seats, wheelchairs, scooters, or oxygen concentrators.
Park Connection motorcoaches are wheelchair accessible. Please notify the Park Connection at least 48 hours in advance if wheelchair accessibility is required. Each motorcoach can accommodate up to two wheelchair passengers at one time.
