This is a must see! Gorgeous harbor with the mountains in the background. This to me was the quintessential Alaska that you see in the movies.Full review by lauraeA2499RQ

Enjoy walking the harbor after dinner. There are restaurants with views and plenty of boats to look at!Full review by jeremyschmucker
I am planning a trip to Seward next June. What time do the fishermen come back with their catch? Kash
A:
I was there in June 15th of 2022. Walking around, I saw the first "load of fish" around 6pm. Later there was more people and more fish including big halibuts. Best Regards. Roman
When is the best time to observe the boats coming in to unload? What is the best time of day/evening to see marine life? Any other things I should know?
A:
You should see plenty of activity all day since it is a busy harbor. Lunch to afternoon would be when I would plan to observe boating activity. Marine life is mostly out in the bay …
You should see plenty of activity all day since it is a busy harbor. Lunch to afternoon would be when I would plan to observe boating activity. Marine life is mostly out in the bay (Resurrection Bay). Suggest taking a wildlife boat tour to view sea lions, puffins, whales, sea otters, bald eagles, and yes, even Orcas (we saw 3 in one visit). Unless you arrive early, parking can be limited, so plan on parking at one of the paid lots and walking to the harbor. It's a nice walk and lots to see and do. If you book a tour with Kenai Fjords Tours, they will shuttle you from their parking lot for free.
What does it cost to ship fish from Seward back to Michigan? Any other way to do it? Probably doesn't go well as carry-on.

There is a place outside of Seward near Seavey's cabins. I can't think of the name of it or find it on the Internet, but I'm sure if you asked around someone can tell you. They processed my husbands fish at a fraction of the cost. They process and find out when you are leaving and they pack it in an ice chest and ship it to the airport where they have a storage unit, and then all you have to do is pick it up and pay baggage fees on it. It was a simple process and so much cheaper than anywhere we could find in town.
