Alaska Tours & Trips
Imagine visiting Fairbanks to learn about the town's history and culture. Ride snowmobiles through untouched snowy forests where only your tracks disturb the powder. Chena's natural hot springs are great for relaxing, and visit the Aurora Ice Museum, which is made entirely of ice. You could even go ice fishing and meet Santa in the Alaskan North Pole where it’s always Christmas.

This is a special experience and you will see wildlife, views and places in Alaska that most people won’t see in a lifetime. This is a perfect tour for people with zero camping experience or experts. I checked off many bucket list items and felt comfortable the entire trip as it was my first time on a solo trip and camping.
Alaska Denali Expedition - 12 Days - TV
Teresa • traveled in July, 2025
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.
Alaska Adventure - 20 Days - C
Chris • traveled in April
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.

Best places to start your Alaska tour
Anchorage makes sense as your starting point with 62 different tour options heading out from there. Some folks prefer kicking off from Fairbanks with its 14 routes if they want to get closer to the Arctic Circle, while others choose Vancouver's 9 routes to mix in some Canadian experiences. A smaller number start from Kenai or Seward on the coast. Looking at our booking data, you'll want to lock in your plans about 4 months ahead - that's 120 days to get the dates you want, especially during peak summer season when wildlife is most active. Our experienced travelers often suggest May and September for lighter crowds and better rates, while still getting good weather and excellent wildlife opportunities. The Alaska Railroad connects the main spots nicely, and many guests combine train rides with flightseeing tours to get the full picture. Each season shows you a different side of Alaska's natural world, whether you're into cultural visits, wildlife photography or exploring glaciers.

- Spring 2026
Spring brings prime whale watching and cultural experiences. Popular routes mix Prince William Sound cruising with land exploration - you'll spot migrating gray whales while looking out for seabirds, seals and also sea otters. The best tours begin in Fairbanks to catch late-season auroras before heading south in the Alaska Railroad's glass-dome cars. Our guests love meeting 'Aurora Dora,' a pro photographer who shows you exactly how to capture the lights. These spring trips usually stop at the Musk Ox Farm and Alaska Native Heritage Center, giving you deep cultural insights as winter shifts to summer.

- Summer 2026
Summer is when Alaska's outdoor experiences really shine. The most popular tours mix time in Denali National Park with Kenai Fjords cruising - you'll track moose, caribou, wolves and bears with naturalist guides, then watch glaciers calve into the sea. Several great options use Anchorage as a base, making daily trips along Turnagain Arm for Dall sheep and beluga spotting before visiting the Wildlife Conservation Center. Our travelers often mention loving Homer's tours, where you can take bay cruises for sea otters and eagles, check out local wineries and explore artist communities.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall tours combine Northern Lights viewing with Alaska's autumn colors. Popular routes start from Fairbanks, mixing aurora viewing at special lodges with Arctic Circle day trips. Our clients particularly like tours including Chena Hot Springs time - you can explore the Aurora Ice Museum and soak in outdoor thermal pools while waiting for the lights. Several good options include cultural visits to the Morris Thompson Center and Museum of the North, along with stops at the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and also North Pole. What makes fall special is fewer crowds, rich tundra colors and better chances to see the aurora against dark autumn skies.
