Saltwater Safari Company - Seward, Alaska

Jake D.

Captain and deck were friendly but not overly concerned about keeping us on good fish. I understand there are no guarantees with fishing but there was a real lack in effort on there part. I have been in many other charted on alaska and never had the deck hand and captain sitting around just chatting with everyone. They are usually to busy either taking care of fish or baiting hooks or finding a better spot to keep on the fish, especially when they charge you what they do. If your after a nice sight seeing trip with friendly people and don’t care if you catch anything this is a good one but if you want to catch fish( or at least really try ) don’t waste your money with this one. There are some good charters still around.

100% will be back. Nicest room have had in our 9 night travels through Alaska. Couldn’t ask for a better view, as we were right on the water. Walking distance to everything. Comfortable beds!!! The best!! What a value as well. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

We stayed at Safari Lodge while we were in Seward. The room was very clean and the view was incredible!! Also, the staff were really lovely and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this lodge! We also went on a tour/fishing trip with them. The weather was bad but the captain kept us safe and made sure everyone still had a great time and caught lots of fish! The guys on that boat were hard workers! They had our fish ready for us to cook before we even got back to the dock. Then, we had it cooked for us at a restaurant downtown. It was such a great experience. I highly recommended staying and touring with these folks!

We didn't do any fishing, we only spent the night before our cruise. Great little hotel. Very clean. Rustic yet still modern. So much nearby in walking distance, and there is a shuttle that will take you around town every 30 minutes right on the street outside of the hotel. The staff emphasizes that no noise will be tolerated after 9pm. Great room with an amazing view. Highly recommended !

We had the top floor, end room, overlooking the dock and boat ramp on the left side. Double queens. Our daughter had a room below, however ours let in a lot of light on the end, and super quiet being on the top and end. Everything was perfect, I would consider this luxury for Seward compared to many of the junk hotels. The beds were perfect, wardrobe was big, shower was huge, bathroom was a beauty. Everything was tastefully Alaskan, including our friendly bear rug. An eagle either sat on the roof 5' above us and checked us out once in a while or he sat on the pole 30' away. Somehow he flew away when we opened the window to greet him. Staff were friendly, place was super clean and the free shuttle pick up is just a few feet away. This May I booked the CrowsNest, and will go fishing with their charter service, really looking forward to that!

Put Saltwater Safari on your bucket list today!

The view is breathtaking from the well appointed and comfy rooms in their Lodge, which is walking distance from quaint shops in town. Sit outside your room to enjoy a hot cup of morning coffee while you look at the boats and the mist over the mountains.

The captains and crew are top notch--fun, knowledgeable, friendly, and skilled at finding fish, marine wildlife, and some of the most beautiful views on the water. If you have a specific week you want to go, it is probably a good idea to give them a call soon as they are a favorite in Seward experiences.

Noah and Tyler were awesome! They were hard working and a lot of fun to be around. We had several young kids and they worked great with them. They far exceeded my expectations of a fishing guide plus we caught a mess of fish. Our group had a blast and will be fishing with them next trip to Seward. Thank you guys both for an awesome trip!

We loved our stay here! Stayed three nights in June. Great view (even from the first floor). Nice room, comfy bed. Perfect location. Close to walk to boat tours and shops. ||I booked very far in advance and didn’t get a confirmation ahead of time so was worried but no problems at all. I called them on our way there to ask about parking and check in. And all was good. And if they are out of the office when you get there, follow the instructions on the office door and text them for check in. Just a heads up. ||Tips/info I couldn’t find in other reviews or were confused prior to visit: ||They have all the basics - shampoo, soap, hairdryer, TV, microwave and small fridge, cooler outside in the deck to use, a fan (kind of hiding but there). No air conditioning most places in Alaska fyi. Usually cool but we had warm sunshine so appreciated the fan! ||Parking IS available free. Don’t let the other reviews confuse you. Because of location though it is across the street and a little walk. There is short term parking close though on the street next to Kenai Fjords Visitor center for check in and out to load:unload. So park there first and get a parking pass from the staff or find it in your room after you check in||No breakfast but they have keurig and coffee, you can get good coffee right next door too open early Coho Joes or eat at the Porthole food truck, really good (breakfast burrito large to share fyi) which is great and open early on your way if you are doing a Kenai Fjords not tour. ||There is also a free shuttle in the summer in Seward to take you further in town if you want
