What people love about touring Alaska solo
- Alaska Kenai Adventure 9 Days
WOW! what an adventure! I had never been to Alaska before and was a little nervous about going by myself, but Dave, Natalie, and Carolina made everyone feel so welcome. I settled right in. During the 9 days on the trip, we saw Humpback Whales, Orcas, Sea Otters, Sea Lions, Seals, Dahl Sheep, Moose, Glaciers, Tons of Eagles, and I did the Bear Viewing trip to Lake Clark which was the Adventure of a Lifetime. we saw over 20 Brown Bears and 5 or 6 within 20 feet away. I had such a great time, I already booked the Denali trip for next Summer!
