What to do and see in Alaska, United States: The Best Bodies of Water

August 13, 2021 Kiesha Cripe

Alaska is divided into five regions: far north, interior, southwest, south central, and inside passage. Although it takes a long time to see the entire state, you can travel through the regions by boat, car, bus, or plane. Hike through the mountains, or venture out on a deep sea fishing or whale watching excursion. Get in touch with nature by camping in the wilderness, or experience your preferred degree of class and luxury in the beautiful, active cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks.

This is one of those places you should take the time to slow down and enjoy the town of Seward, the friendly residents, good restaurants and beautiful scenery. The walk along the bay goes from the port to the Sea Life Center. Near the port their are restaurants and shops. Further down are campgrounds. There are rest rooms and a park with playground equipment. Watching the techniques of the fishermen and women is interesting with salmon jumping all about. Beautiful blue waters, mountains and today a rainbow! A place we won’t ever forget.

We took a cruise to witness the beauty of prince William sound. It was cloudy but the vistas were picturesque. We got lucky spotted a couple of otters. The glaciers and the waterfalls along them were beautiful. Must visit !
