What people love about touring Alaska solo
- Alaska Denali Expedition - 12 Days
Natalie and Dave go above and beyond to create the best experience possible! If you want luxury and pampering don’t do it! If you are prepared for simple but delicious food, sleeping in a sometimes wet or cold tent that you put up and take down, washing dishes and helping to load unload the bus, squatting in the brush/going days without a shower, and experiencing a variety of personalities, this will be the most memorable trip you ever take! The whole experience was amazing and certainly a bucket list adventure I wouldn’t have wanted to do any other way! Go with an open mind, a great attitude and you will laugh and gape in awe the whole way! I highly recommend!
- Alaska Adventure - 20 Days
Really amazing experience. Great people, food and places. Would recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys the fabulous outdoors.
- 4 day Alaska Seward Camping Adventure from Anchorage
All Inclusive Kenai Adventure Ever since Covid - and the expansive interest to visit NP's - I have resorted to group travel. I find it to be more rewarding and sustainable. I love the idea of education and leaving less of a carbon footprint by shuttling together. This is my first time traveling with Bindlestiff - it seems they have quite the following! So I gave it a shot. Really glad I did - the description of this tour was exactly how it went! Lots of great included meals, free time in town, optional visit to the Sea Life center, hike to Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords NP, Kayak tour and boat tour. And we had a fun dinner out in Seward - lots of characters in this town! Going to a new environment like this, coming from the East Coast USA - I definitely wanted a guide. I also was looking to have a group of people to travel with, so this was awesome. So happy that we had a fun, lively guide du jour as well - Charlie. You can really tell this tour company puts in the effort to make things seamless - from detailed packing list, reminders, booking procedure, emails with questions responded to in a timely fashion (thanks, Mario!), and of course the organization behind it all. Thank you so much, Charlie and Bindlestiff, for giving me a fantastic 1st experience in Alaska - and visiting a truly spectacular region of the USA.
