1 night at Nauti Otter Inn Yurt Village
Very clean, excellent layout and comfortable beds! Would stay here again. It was my parent’s first time staying in a yurt, or using a communal kitchen, and it was a great experience for them. Would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Nauti Otter Inn Yurt Village
I will be forever dreaming about our next stay at the Nauru Otter Yurt Village. My husband multiple times during our stay kept saying I can’t wait until we can come back and stay here longer. They thought of literally everything. Comfortable, clean, charming, fun, we cannot say enough great things about this fairytale like yurt village.

Weekend Trip to Nauti Otter Inn and Yurt Village
The Lumberjack Shack was a great stay! Clean, surprisingly roomy, and very adorably Alaskan. Nauti Otter staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The shared spaces (kitchen, bathrooms, living room) were also spotless. Highly recommend for a stay in Steward!

The best camping near Seward with campfires guide
Where to go
Kenai Fjords National Park
Kenai Fjords National Park encompasses more than a half-million acres of wild country to the west of town. Cruises open access to remote shorelines and use Seward as a jumping-off point. Loaded with glaciers, fjords, and islands, the possibilities for adventure are endless here.
Exit Glacier
Very few glaciers have convenient road access and Exit Glacier is one of the best. Located within minutes of Seward, this is a must-visit glacier where you can stand at the overlook or hike to the ground level for a closeup view. Guided ice climbing tours are available.
Mt. Marathon Trail
Test your hiking abilities on the 4.5-mile Mt. Marathon trail. Famous for its role in a grueling adventure race, this hike is much shorter than that full race but still steep and challenging. It begins on a Jeep trail through a rugged valley, climbs a steep slope to a moderate bench, then winds and climbs to the peak where views of the bay and surrounding mountains await.
Resurrection Bay
Explore the waterfront and take advantage of water taxi services to reach more remote trailheads, rental cabins, and yurts with no road access. Resurrection Bay is ripe with water-based opportunities, and travelers who pack light and are willing to go off-grid can reach some amazing locations in the bayby water.
When to go
Accessible year-round, Seward is a small community connected to the road system—visitors can reach town via Highway 9 on the Kenai Peninsula. June, July, and August are the best months for exploring the Kenai Fjords National Park by water and for general hiking in mild weather conditions. The bay in Seward is protected by mountains, but winter still delivers storms that make for rough sea conditions and very cold weather. Even still, winter can be desirable for skiing, as trails remain accessible from town.
