SMALL GROUP ADVENTURES IN ALASKA

Looking for that sweet spot between independent backpacking and a package holiday?

Travelling as part of a Small Group tour has its perks.   There are local expert tour leaders to take the hassle out of travel arrangements and show you the sights, plus a group of like-minded travellers to share the fun with.  All you have to do is turn up with a smile and a passport

Groups are small, normally 8-16 people, meaning the trips aren’t disruptive to the places we visit, and a smaller number creates a good group dynamic; you’ll get to know a range of people from different backgrounds with a shared interest in travel.

Got the urge for adventure, but no-one to do it with? Over half of the travellers on Small Group trips are travelling solo.

The 49th state has rightly earned its nickname as the Last Frontier, full of staggering mountains with glaciers clung to their sides, big game wildlife, towering icebergs, lively cities, a unique culture, historic mining communities and a thousand things in between. Do you need any more reasons to visit Alaska? And yes: the snow does melt in the summer!

• Catch a glimpse of Mother Nature’s finest light show – the spectacular Northern Lights
• Explore the stunning blue ice caves inside Spencer Glacier
• Safari in Denali National Park to see the US version of the Big 5: grizzly bears, moose, wolves, caribou and Dall sheep
• Take an epic road trip through this vast state and you’ll be well off the beaten track within minutes
• Snowboard and Ski the backcountry, or in resorts with jaw-dropping real mountain terrain

ALASKA HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

While some may envision Eskimos and igloos, Alaska is actually one of the best places to spend a vacation whether by land or sea.    See the jaw-dropping scenery of unspoiled nature, majestic mountains, glaciers, fjords, crystal clear lakes, waterfalls and the National Parks. Cruising along the Inside Passage and seeing the remote villages with picturesque backdrop is one of the highlights. Some cities, like Sitka, are only accessible by water or air.

• Get your ‘twitcher’ on, and find magnificent bald eagles flying overhead
• Cruise the waters and see seals and sea lions on the water, salmon leaping, and even bears and whales from a distance.
• Immerse yourself in Alaska’s rich and varied history from the Native Indians to Russian fur traders and gold miners
• During the summer, Alaska is a playground for kayaking, river rafting, hiking, sport fishing or scenic flightseeing.
• Winter is prime time for ice fishing, hot springs dipping, heli-skiing and northern lights viewing
