When to Travel – Alaska is best visited in the Summer, when the days are long and temperatures are mild. July and August are the best months, while June and September are also an option. All our Alaska tours are planned for the months of July and August.
We plan to operate one Alaska tour in Winter (late November), to see the Northern Lights, and this will be announced later. Stay tuned.
Destinations
ALASKA - The Final Frontier
A land where forces of nature humble man, a land where miles of untamed landscape are ruled by snow clad mountains and crystal clear glacial lakes, a land where man has lived in harmony with some of the world’s most diverse wildlife. The Final Frontier tour is an exclusive, fully guided 12-day road trip through pristine wilderness, stunning landscapes & tribal cultures taking you to regions of United States that are known only to travelers and not tourists.
Trip Highlights
20-21 hours of sunlight every day!
Kayaking in the Kenai Fjords National Park
Close up views of glaciers and possibly spotting an avalanche
Enjoy spectacular views of Mt. McKinley in the Denali National Park
Whale watching in the Resurrection Bay
Experience the lives of the native Indians at the Alaska Native Heritage Center - a grand living museum with dance & music performances and art & craft demonstrations
Spectacular drives through mountains and valleys, through clouds and beside lakes, spotting wildlife on the way and stopping by at little villages and cafes
A gastronomic treat for fish lovers – the Alaskan salmon and the Alaskan halibut (but don't worry if you're a vegetarian, we have got you covered!)
Interesting Tidbits
Distances in Alaska are huge, which most people underestimate. To put things in perspective, Alaska is one sixth the size of continental United States or about half the size of India. This means we will spend around 3 hours driving every day – we can assure you that you will not look at your watch even once, as the landscapes are stunning and we will make plenty of stops on the way
This trip is suitable for all age groups. We will not engage in strenuous activities such as hiking or trekking (unless of course the whole group wants to do it!), but we will certainly be outdoors!
While there are hotels in Alaska, we find the real charm is in home-stays and bed-n-breakfasts tucked away in the countryside. These are much more cozy and personal, we get to meet other travelers and the local host families, who will share their knowledge and experiences!
