FOOD
We will be enjoying dinner together at the Apollo Restaurant around 5 pm. Because we have little time between arriving in Seward and heading to the Alaska SeaLife Center, students and their guests are encouraged to bring a sack lunch and light snacks.
TRANSPORTATION
The charter bus is provided by Alaska Superior Tours. The bus has 45 seats and will not be able to accommodate children who require car seats.
ALASKA SEALIFE CENTER
The Alaska SeaLife Center will be offering a private tour to our UAA group. They have requested we divide our group in half in order to best accommodate us: the first group will be going at 11 am, while the second group will be going at 11:15 am. A typical walk-through of the Alaska SeaLife Center can take two to three hours.
EXIT GLACIER TOUR (OPTIONAL)
Students may elect to join an Exit Glacier tour/hike, which begins at 2 pm. Students and their guests who elect not to travel to the glacier can spend time shopping in and exploring the city of Seward.
