Seaward Hike to Mt. Marathon (Mountain Bowl) - I booked a 4 hour Seaward Wilderness Hike Tour (Moderate to Strenuous) with Kenai Backcountry Adventures. I did a lot of excursions in Alaska, and I must say that this hike was the highlight of my entire Alaska trip. Brandon, my tour guide, took me to Mt. Marathon and made it an unforgettable experience. I didn't anticipate the hike to be this hard with a lot of snow and steep elevation. After 2 hours, I was about to give up but Brandon was so patient with my slow pace and continued to motivate the group to hit the bowl for spectacular views. He is also a great photographer (gave me a couple of cool photography tips) and took amazing pics and videos. Safety was never compromised. Throughout the hike, Brandon ensured we are safe and he provided a lot of information about Alaska Wildlife, plants, Seaward town and other things to do in the region. I must say that he has a great sense of humor and knows all the secret trails that are way more fun and less crowded to hike. Downhill, I loved his idea of sliding over snow. Has never experienced before and absolutely enjoyed the experience. I learned about ice climbing that Kenai Backcountry Adventures offers in Winter and Summer season. I am definitely looking forward to experience this excursion with them.

A wonderful experience - The guide was excellent. We ran into a bear right away and she had us slowly get behind her and she stayed calm and the bear just lumbered off. We were glad to have an experienced guide at that point! One of our family members has down syndrome and she adjusted the hike to meet his abilities and kept encouraging him.

Easy Fun and Informing - We had a great hike with Miles. Very knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend !! They pick you up at your hotel and bring you back after your hike. No issues. All staff friendly

Worth the work out. - Miles have us a workout as he took us to the source of a water fall on Mt. Marathon. He took us less traveled trails as he pointed out various things (good & bad plants, moose & porcupine markings, moose tracks, what food squirrels eat & how to tell where their territory is, etc.) on the way up & down. We would stop periodically to view Resurrection Bay.

We enjoy the views of... - We enjoy the views of Exit Glacier from very close, was an awesome trip day. Miles was a great guide, he understood our needs and adapted the trip to us

We ventured in areas we never would have gone - We had a wonderful experience with Travis on our wilderness hike. Travis was very knowledgeable and was able to share so much interesting information about the area’s plants, glaciers, rocks, wildlife, etc. We went on areas of the trail we never would have ventured, and the money was well worth it. I highly recommend this tour and this company for your adventures in and around Seward.
