Overview
Running south through some 240 miles of constantly evolving Alaska scenery, the Park to Park motorcoach line takes passengers from Talkeetna to Seward in a single day. The ride aboard a modern Park Connection motorcoach takes about seven hours and includes a lunch stop in Anchorage.
Travel some 240 miles of evolving Alaska scenery.
The coach departs from town via the Talkeetna Spur Road. The road weaves through dense spruce tree forests, eventually reaching the Parks Highway and opening out into the mouth of the Knik Arm. The area just outside of Wasilla is a wildlife preserve, and it's not uncommon for passengers to spot moose in the marshes.
In Anchorage, all passengers deboard the bus for a 1.5-hour lunch break. There are several nearby restaurants. The Seward bus boards again at 2:45 PM and departs downtown at 3 PM. The trip continues along the Seward Highway, around the Turnagain Arm, and through beautiful mountains on the Kenai Peninsula. The motorcoach arrives in Seward around 5:45 PM. Tap the More Details tab for pickup and drop-off locations.

Seating is first-come, first-served. Park Connection drivers provide casual commentary on the surrounding area, keeping it light to give passengers time to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Guest Feedback
"Timely pick-up, spotlessly clean and comfortable bus, and friendly and informed driver. Our party had the bus to ourselves on the drive from Anchorage to Whittier and the driver catered to our every need."
