Seward-2
Seward was a great stop for us, so there are a lot of pictures. We took an all-day boat tour out to the Northwestern Glacier and back. We opted for the longest tour available since everyone told us the key to seeing lots of wildlife was spending time on the water. They were right!!
This set of photos is from the trip out to the glacier.
The otters were always cute and fun to watch.
Besides the otters and whales, we saw stellar sea lions, seals, orcas and dalls porpoise.
The whales, of course, were a highlight. We saw several including a mom and calf.
And then the momma decided to show off and swim right at the boat before diving.
More whales…
Puffins!! This was the closest one in the water. Most of the ones we saw were flying or sitting in their nesting grounds.
One of the most impressive things was how the seals barked and the seal lions growled, mostly at each other, but sometimes at the approaching boat.
Then we had the grand finale – a whale decided this would be a great time to jump out of the water doing massive tail slap – several times!!
But if not…

Great whale shots.
