Water Taxi Services: General Information

Best Water Taxi Prices in Seward!

**If you find a better water taxi rate then ours, we will match it**

One of our most popular services at Miller’s Landing is our water taxi service. Water taxis are inexpensive, and are a great way to go camping, kayaking, fishing, hiking or sightseeing to remote areas only accessible by water.

We offer water taxi service to all points in Resurrection Bay and the Kenai Fjords National Park using large safe boats with enclosed cabins and U.S. Coast Guard licensed operators. Our vessels have heated cabins and plenty of room to haul kayaks, camping gear, mountain bikes and backpacks and can take up to 16 passengers at one time. We also occasionally use a big open skiff for short runs. Miller’s Landing staff can assist you in planning the ideal water taxi destination for your group.

       Why should you choose Miller's Landing Water Taxis?           

  • *Unlike any other kayaking company, Miller's Landing owns and operates three water taxi vessels making it possible to transport you to the most beautiful pristine kayaking spots... filled with wildlife ad beautiful scenery!  Our water taxi landing crafts are brand new, custom designed and five star rate for safety.
  • They are heated, comfortable, have music and are entertaining!  They are hands down the very nicest water taxis in all of Seward, maybe even all of Alaska!  One vessel is a custom designed 16 passenger vessel built by Kvichak Marine in Seattle.  Another is a custom designed vessel built by Pac Man.  Our smaller six passenger skiff is also sometimes used when the other taxies are unavailable, to prevent you from being delayed and getting everyone where they want to go on time!
  • There are no hidden "add ons" for extra charges for water taxi costs.  We do charge State Park Fees where required and Sales Tax but our sales tax is only 3% here instead of the higher 7% tax that is in town.
  • As a result, we are able to offer our guests better prices, passing the savings on to you.  We will also guarantee the best prices for any comparable tour.  And, we offer custom tours if you ask, and discounted group rates.
  • We offer a free shuttle bus to pick up our clients in the Seward downtown and harbor area, saving you even more money in taxi costs. (advanced noticed needed).  Also, there are no parking fees for parking at Miller's Landing like there are in the Harbor area.  The Harbor area is $5 to $10 a day for parking.
  • Imagine the hassles of parking at the Seward Small Boat Harbor, transporting all of your gear, kayaks and belongings to a slip that is difficult and time consuming to get to.  Then having to track back to your vehicle, find a place to park (and paying for it) and then hurrying back down to the dock to get on the boat.  We never load from the Boat Harbor.  We load from our beautiful oceanfront lodge instead.  Now, imagine what it is like at Miller's Landing... Sitting in our nice comfortable waterfront lodge, watching the sea otters and eagle while sipping free coffee and the Captain yells, "All Aboard!" And you simply walk outside, we load up your gear for you, you get on the boat, and presto!  We are on our way!  How simple is that?
  • Unlike other water taxi services, we have several boats going out all day long, offering you the best opportunity for water taxi times.
  • We know your time is valuable when you are on vacation.  Miller's Landing is located right on the oceanfront on beautiful Lowell Point.  Our water taxi departs right from our beach and so do our kayaks.  There are no time consuming transports of kayaks to get from town to the beach.  We leave right from here!
  • Unfortunately, transporting kayaks by vehicle from Seward to Lowell Point (where all kayaking paddles begin) causes the kayak you will paddling in to become dusty and dirty.  Add water, and you have "mud"... Our kayaks have never been transported by vehicle... And they are cleaned each time they are used.
  • We are a family run business, and Alaskan homesteaders.  We have been in business far longer than any other company, since 1983.
  • We like to show off the most beautiful, scenic areas on our water taxi.  The water taxi makes all that possible!

Thomas Sea
Seward: Miller's Landing: "Competent and safe"
Date:  August 14, 2003
Reviewer:  A TripAdvisor User, Seward AK

I haven't stayed at their cabins, though they seem comfortable, but I have used their water taxi extensively for two summers to get to an archaeological excavation in Kenai Fjords National Park. The captain of the Michael A (a water taxi) Sherri Miller, has a nice, calm demeanor, and her competence is obvious after five minutes on the water. No machismo, no bluster, just a sense of the water and the limits of her boat and what conditions are safe. She knows when to turn around. She keeps track of all the details and is genuinely concerned for the her clients, especially if weather has prevented her from picking them up at the anticipated time. She is thorough and helpful. Miller's Landing is as close as you'll get to the proverbial "Real Alaska". Its a family run business. All the accoutrements like signs and boardwalks and nightly events are homey and hand-made. When its raining, you can hang out in the lodge where endless coffee is available. When the weather is good, you can kayak or walk the trails or fish. Nice place. Nice folks.

Water Taxi Schedule and Rates

Water Taxi Departure Times

Departures are from Lowell Point leave approximately every hour.  There are three water taxi vessels: One is the large water taxi vessel "Michael A" which is a 36 foot landing craft, carrying 16 passengers.  It exceeds the 5 star safety rating and has music, full electronics, a heated cabin, comfortable seating and large windows for wildlife viewing.  The "Michael A." services Resurrection Bay, Day Harbor,  Kenai Fjords National Park, Aialik Bay, Northwestern Fjord, and the Nuka Bay area.  We sometimes will do custom trips to the Prince William Sound area as well.

The second vessel is a 32 foot landing craft, also five star rated for safety, that takes six passengers.  This taxi services Resurrection Bay, Day Harbor, Kenai Fjords National Park, Aialik Bay, Northwester Fjord, and the Nuka Bay areas.  We sometimes will do custom trips to the the Prince William Sound area as well.

The third vessel is a smaller water taxi vessel doing transports in an open-aired 24 foot skiff, and carries six passengers.  This water taxi services Resurrection Bay area only.

Lastly we also have a friend with a water taxi vessel available every day assisting with Kenai Fjords National Park, Day Harbor, Nuka Bay area and the Prince William Sound area as well as Resurrection Bay areas, so if we cannot do the taxi, we can refer you to him.

Salty Water Taxi: our 6 passenger Salty Water Taxi is available for unscheduled or after hours trips at the Captain’s discretion for an additional fee of $15 per person with a two person minimum.

*Note: Michael A is normally used for morning (6 AM to 10AM) and evening (5 PM to 9 PM) fishing trips or wildlife/sightseeing charters or custom charters. For more information on fishing charters in the evening, please see our fishing section of the website.

Departures may leave from either Miller's Landing or the Lowell Point State Park Recreational Area. Please contact Miller's Landing for departure locations for specific dates and times.  Please plan to be ready 30 minutes prior to departure. The water taxi will not be able to wait for you if you are not ready to go at the time of departure and you will need to be rescheduled to the next available time.  Most water taxi times include guided kayaking paddles that are on a timed schedule and delays will cause the schedule to be offset for the rest of the day, so we must leave on time.  Please allow time for parking, registering for water taxi, loading and transporting gear to the water taxi loading area; using the restroom, etc. During low tide loading/offloading will take place at the south beach area of Lowell Point which may require more time than 30 minutes for parking arrangements, loading, etc.  Please take this into consideration.  If you are renting a kayak from us for your water taxi trip, please allow extra time for the kayak rental procedure and check out procedure.
