if we travel in late August do you offer any expedition to see the Northern lights?

Not on this specific tour we do not do the Northern Lights viewing but you can look at similar tour like the below as September to March offers much better chances of seeing the lights: Alaska in Winter: Northern Lights & Dog Sledding Adventure

Could you please provide more details about the itinerary, inclusions, and types of accommodations used for the USA and Alaska tour in the second half of August 2026? Additionally, is there anything specific that needs to be brought, or is everything provided on this tour?

The tour uses comfortable 3-star hotels and lodges, typically located near national parks or town centres. Rooms are usually twin or double occupancy with private bathrooms. Accommodation, transportation, many meals, and several major excursions are included. You only need to bring appropriate clothing for outdoor activities, personal items, and spending money for meals not included. There is a detailed packing list on the website

Can a single supplement be paid for a private room for 1?

We believe that travelling by yourself shouldn't be more expensive. We treat single travellers the same as the rest of the group, which is why we don't charge single supplements. We'll partner you up with a same-sex roommate to ensure you pay the same as everyone else. Don't want to share a room? No problem. Sometimes it's just more convenient and comfortable to have your own room, which is why we offer single travellers a "My Own Room" option—a single room all to yourself at a great G Adventures price. For the June 30, 2026 departure the My Own Room extra is an additional $3739.00.

Is this tour required a Canada visa or my US visa is good enough?

As Alaska is in the USA, your US visa will be sufficient.

how many hikes are available? And also, for the halibut fishing how long would be spent fishing?

Making sure there is a way to refrigerate it at each location.

We are looking for a cruise in the inland passage. Please let me know what are choices are to utilize the credit.

For the three nights at the Denali Grizzly Bear Resort, a cabin with balcony could be possible! We are unable to guarantee it, however, once you proceed and book the tour, please be sure to let us know and we can note your preference on your file!

Is the transportation by bus from here to there or by the wonderful train system Alaska has?

For this trip we use 15-passenger vans for up to 12 people plus the CEO(guide) and Driver. For groups of 8 and more travellers, we also use a trailer to carry luggage. These durable vehicles allow us to drive on most types of roads in North America. Each van has a front passenger seat and 4 benches that will accommodate 3 people each with mandatory seat belts to keep us secure and safe. This is not a physically demanding journey, but with limited space in the van, long drive days can be difficult. Please take note of the travel times and distances in the itinerary. There is air conditioning to cool things down on warm days to keep everyone more comfortable. Despite some of the long days, most travellers feel that the diversity of the North American landscape, culture, and wildlife are all well worth the experience!

I'd like to go to alaska with my husband next year in July. We are not sure which tour is best for us (we are 50, no children). We like comfort but we are active. Our dates are a bit flexible (first or second week to start the tour). What do you have available?

Our National Geographic Journeys tour matches the type of tour you are after. The Service level is Upgraded: Quality accommodations and more inclusions than on other G Adventures tours, like meals, private transport, and activities. paired with a Physical Grading: 3 (out of 5)- Average, Tours includes hiking.

When the itinerary states transport by private vehicle, what does that mean on your tour?

We use a 16 seater mini bus, depending on the size of the group.

We had a wonderful time. The tour was well planned and well managed. The CEO was excellent ..good driver, good communicator, had good knowledge of the local attractions and made great recommendations for restaurants. The group we were with was also a very pleasant group which made the experience that much more enjoyable. That said, would have loved to see the accommodations updated.. most except the Denali cabins were old and "weathered".Show more

Disappointed in the relative lack of local knowledge of the driver/coordinator. Dining options while in "travel mode" were poor (really, the best available was "fast food?") and group dining options in Anchorage (a foodie mecca) were poor. In other cases, dining arrangements were [Removed in Moderation] for a dinner and a breakfast. The coordinator's inadequate response? " Well it's shoulder season." Other than that, the trip was quite nice and accommodations quite adequate.Show more
