Another First Trip Questions (ANC and Seward) Thread (Sorry)

Hi All

I will be traveling to ANC with my 5 year old daughter in Mid September.

My planned itinerary includes a day-trip rail ride from ANC to Seward (and back) and a half-day cruise with Kenai Fjords cruises (as suggested in other threads). The option seems to be between the Kenai Fjords National Park Tour and the Resurrection Bay Wildlife Tour - with Fox Island. What are the main differences between the two? Also, is it better to book the rail & tour package through the rail or tour company?

I was thinking of hiring a bike from alaska-bike-rentals for a few hours in ANC (one with a "trailer" for my daughter) Any recommendations for scenic bike trails that could be done in 3 hours easily (including stops)?

Does anyone offer 'all-inclusive cabins' accessible from ANC or Seward? The kind of place you can just turn up without having to worry about sleeping bags, stoves, etc.

Also, neither of us have been fishing before/ don't have any equipment. Again, is there anywhere in ANC or Seward that would 'show us the ropes' and/or cater for children?

Finally, is there anywhere near ANC or Seward where we could see Huskies?

Thanks
