Flight-seeing, Photography, Hiking, Kayaking, Wildlife Viewing, Bird Watching

Glaciers, Icebergs & Glacial Lakes, National Parks, Plants, Wildflowers and Berries, Volcanoes, Crater Lakes and Calderas, Native Villages and Peoples of Alaska are all part of our one of a kind, handcrafted itineraries.

All of our treks operate in areas inhabited by many varieties of mammals, birds, and sea life. Flying overhead, fishing alongside a stream, or quietly paddling a kayak will allow you to observe and photograph animals in their natural habitats. Wild animals are unpredictable, and the landscape vast, so sightings vary from trip to trip.

We also have treks for bird watching, plants, and wildflowers and berries.

The 15 National Parks in Alaska are home to the United States’ tallest mountains and biggest glaciers and some of its most exotic wildlife.

Glaciers in Alaska number more than 100,000, and depending upon our route, we can see lots of them!

There are seven distinct Native cultures, and many sub-cultures, in Alaska. The primary Native cultures are the Inupiat and Yupik Eskimos of the Far North, the Aleuts of the Southwest, the Athabascan Indians of the Interior, and the Haida, Tlingit, and Tsimshian Indians of the Inside Passage. Many Native people are bilingual in English as well as their own dialect. Different languages, cultural traditions, art forms, and a more leisurely sense of time are encountered in the villages we visit. You are sure to meet some wonderful and interesting people!

When is the best time to travel to Alaska? There is no “best time” as all of Alaska’s seasons have something special to offer! The summer season is mid-May through mid-September, with only slight differences in particular months. During our June and July trips you will experience longer daylight hours due to the summer solstice. In August and September there may be opportunities for seeing the Northern Lights on clear evenings, especially in the Arctic. In Southeast Alaska, May and June tend to be sunnier and dryer than August, although this varies from summer to summer. Winter provides the best opportunity to see the Northern Lights, enjoy a ride in a dog sled, or snowshoe in the wilderness. No matter what time of year you travel; you will enjoy your adventure!
