- Join an Alaskan safari for a unique chance to see moose, caribou, grizzly bears, Dall sheep and wolves in their natural habitat in Denali National Park.
- Sit back and take in stunning views along the dramatic coastlines of the Turnagain Arm from Anchorage to Whittier, while someone else does the driving.
- Experience the quirky small town side of Alaska in Talkeetna, famous for its big views of Denali and the Alaska Range
- Cruise Prince William Sound from Whittier to see both tidewater and alpine glaciers, as well as a chance to search for wildlife like whales, otters, seals and birds
- As Alaska is a huge state with long distances between towns and cities, be prepared to spend a lot of your time in the car. This is all part of the adventure and a great way to see a variety of Alaskan landscapes.
- While Alaska can experience warm summers, you should still be prepared for cold temperatures, especially at night, and also rain, which can (and does) happen year-round. Bring warm clothing with you, including base layers, a warm hat, gloves and a thick coat, as well as a rain jacket and waterproof shoes.
- Mosquitoes are found across the USA, even in the colder regions. They can be a problem a lot of the time, especially in July. It’s recommended that you bring insect repellent with you and anything else you think is applicable.
- The summer months in Alaska see very long daylight hours, with the sun not completely setting until after midnight. As most people are likely to sleep before midnight, you might want to bring an eye mask to block out the light.
