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!
- Alaska Adventure - 20 Days
If you are looking for adventure and don't mind the camping, this tour is for you. We went to the must-see places as well as to more remote locations that most people do not get to see. This tour provided us with the opportunity to see and observe all kinds of wildlife. Since we drove around the State, this gave us the chance to see some amazing scenery and wildlife, and get to very remote areas. The optional activities were really great and will give you the choice to customize this trip to suit your preferences. You will have the opportunity to go on sea cruises, hikes, sea kayaking, ice climbing, glacier walking, rafting, and so much more. You will get to experience and see so many things. This was lots of fun and the people were great.
Being in Alaska is excellent!
