Overview

Bardy’s Trail Rides offers a one‑of‑a‑kind horseback experience in Seward, Alaska, just minutes from the harbor, train depot, and cruise ship terminal. We’re easy to find—only two miles from the waterfront—yet our trails feel a world away, winding through lush rainforest, open grasslands, and along the shores of Resurrection Bay.

Our goal is to keep rides small, personal, and story‑driven. With a maximum of six riders per tour, everyone can hear the guide’s stories about local wildlife, Alaska’s history, and the 1964 earthquake that reshaped Seward. No prior horse experience is needed; we welcome all levels and carefully match each rider with a suitable horse, including considerations for riders up to 275 lb.

What's Included

  • Complimentary helmets are available for all riders and required for guests 14 and under
  • Trail ride through scenic routes / designated trails
  • Horse and tack (saddle, bridle, etc.)

    Seward (pass by)

    This area of Seward, Alaska is only accessible by horseback. View bald eagles up close, see where they nest and watch them feed. It is rare that you can’t ride your horse right under the trees where they majestically perch. We will ride through part of the old town of Seward that was destroyed by the great earthquake of 1964. You will hear the stories of the people who lived through it. Our horses will then take us to the shore of the bay where the wildflowers meet the ocean. The birdlife of this area is very diverse, active, and up close. This Trail Ride could very well be the wilderness highlight of your trip to Seward and Alaska!

    Resurrection Bay (pass by)

    On the trail, you may ride through rainforest where moose and bears roam, pass through the old town site destroyed by the quake, cross clear rivers where salmon swim between your horse’s legs, and watch bald eagles nesting, feeding, and soaring overhead. Wildflowers meet the ocean along the beach of Resurrection Bay, making for unforgettable scenery and photos.
