Overview

Seward Ocean Excursions offers year-round boat-based adventures aboard the Missing Lynx, ranging from wildlife/sightseeing tours to water taxi to just plain fun on the water. Why choose us? Seward Ocean Excursions is a locally-owned and family-run business. We pride ourselves in providing custom, small group trips all year long. In fact, we are Seward's only year-round on the water boat business! We offer wildlife/sightseeing tours, winter wildlife/sightseeing tours, water taxi service, big game transporter services, and custom trips (if you can imagine it, we can do it!) Running trips all year long! Last minute? No problem...contact us and we can work you in the schedule! Never more than 6 people on the boat, and we run with as few as 2 people on the boat!

Wonderful Whale Watching

Captain Bix was a great host and wildlife guide. Despite a very windy & rainy day, my husband caught his first salmon! We caught other fish too. The sea otters were much bigger than the river otters we've seen in Virginia. Puffins were adorable and...More

Unbelievable!

I cannot adequately describe the awe I experienced. You are in a smaller boat with up to 6 people and a captain. This means that you will be right where you need to be for every sighting. The larger ships can't do that. You have...More

Would highly recommend using Bixler for any ocean need. From sight seeing, fishing and bay drop offs there is no one better. Very clean and comfortable boat with the benefit of being away from the large crowds on other tour companies. Bixler has lived in...More
