Real Alaska Tour

Seward day tour: sled dog kennel, guided Exit Glacier hike, city tour

Alaska Railroad's Real Alaska Tour is a one-day land tour based around Seward, combining a handful of guided experiences rather than a rail journey on its own. The base price covers a tour of Iditarod Champion Mitch Seavey's sled dog kennel, including a summer dog sled ride, a guided hike at Exit Glacier, salmon stream viewing, lunch at a local restaurant, and a city tour of Seward. Round-trip rail on the Coastal Classic Train between Anchorage or Girdwood and Seward can be added for an extra cost, in either Adventure Class or GoldStar Service with breakfast and dinner included. Because the guided hike and kennel visit are the centerpiece rather than a train ride, this suits travelers more interested in Alaska's wildlife and Iditarod history than in scenic rail time, and who are comfortable adding the rail leg themselves if they want it.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has held at US$229 every time.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 2 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

What to know before you look closer

The lead price of $229 is for the land tour only, with no rail travel; adding round-trip rail on the Coastal Classic Train costs from $455 (Adventure Class) or $699 (GoldStar Service, which includes breakfast and dinner).
