5.0Nova Alaska Guides(571 reviews) - Great Matanuska glacier tour, great company! Sunday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Multi-day Tours • River Rafting & Tubing • Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Climbing Tours • Day Trips
Betsy, our tour guide was wonderful. She made the glacier hike a memorable experience for our 11 year old son and us. I would recommend Nova over Mica guides. We had a flat tire and missed our prepaid glacier hike with Mica guides. Mica had spots available on a later tour the same day but wanted us to pay $300 again to rebook. Be careful if you book with Mica in advance. They will take your money and throw their nonrefundable policy at you. Nova on the other hand gave us a 10% discount because after learning about the day we had without us even asking. Nova also does not charge full price for children under 12. Nova is a company with great customer service. Highly recommend them!See more..
5.0Alaskan Tour Guides(448 reviews) - Best Way to Experience the Real Alaska Sunday: 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM Multi-day Tours • Eco Tours • Sightseeing Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Photography Tours
We were able to experience Alaska in the best possible way in July 2022. Mike was our guide, and he did an outstanding job. It was the best possible way to see and tour Alaska. It was a small group so we didn't have to fight the crowds when it came to stopping for a bathroom break or waiting in line at a restaurant like those who were in a cruise group. And the best part was we could just sit back and relax while absorbing all of the magnificent scenery. It was really cool to be able to stop at a little rest stop or scenic area to watch the salmon jump or view another glacier. All of these experiences were breath-taking and offered us priceless memories. I have shared our Alaskan trip with anyone and everyone who asked along with our pictures. I highly recommend Alaskan Tour Guides as the best way to truly see and experience Alaska.See more..
Our guide was local, and knew just about everything there was to know about Alaska. He was prompt and escorted us everywhere, making sure we had the best possible outcomes. He was thoughtful to meet our needs and could adjust our itinerary times when needed. Our guide made sure we had all the photos and group photos we wanted. We always felt that we were seeing the best Alaska had to offer.See more..
5.0Snowhook Adventure Guides of Alaska(320 reviews) - A snowy rollercoaster ride through the woods! Sunday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Multi-day Tours • 4WD, ATV & Off-Road Tours • Ski & Snow Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Day Trips
My husband and I did the 10am mushing tour, and we loved it! We were able to ride on the same sled. Our guide musher, Matt, was fantastic, had a great attitude, answered all of our questions and told us about each dog that was getting attached to the gangline. It was interesting to see the strategy of lining up a team of dogs. Part of the time is spent socializing with the dogs as they prep for the mushing tour and then other time spent on the trail. The dogs were so excited to get running and clearly love pulling. If you stand on the foot boards on the back of the sled, be prepared to put in a little effort in going up hills. I rode in the sled so didn't have to do much work (held on tight). It felt like a really fun rollercoaster ride at times since it wasn't always flat during the tour which made it very fun. The scenery is beautiful through the snowy woods. This is a must do on a trip to Alaska!See more..

5.0Viking Travel, Inc.(35 reviews) - Took our dream and made it happen! Sunday: Multi-day Tours • National Parks • Ferries • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Day Trips
Viking Travel and agent Fini gave us a wonderful experience. We did not want to cruise Alaska's Inside Passage and found the Marine Highway ferry system very complicated to string together our destinations. We wanted to spend more time in the small towns and seeing wildlife instead of on the cruise boat. Fini took our destinations and created an efficient itineary to visit 5 stops. She came up with fanscinating side trips which we were not aware of within our itinery. We still had much time to explore on our own: parks, museums and hiking. The accommodations had local flavor and great location. Saw Juneau, Sitka, Glacier Bay, Skagway and Haines. No gliches! Well done.See more..
My sister and I with our families recently did a Northern Lights trip with Steven during a vacation/bucket list trip to Fairbanks/North Pole. It was absolutely the highlight of our trip! We booked the multi-night option, and I'm so glad Steven recommended this. It was cloudy the first couple of nights, and Steven was great about contacting us each morning to let us know the forecast for the rest of our trip. On the third night, the forecast was clear, so we went for it. Steven picked us up at our Air BnB in a van that fit all 9 of us. We drove 30-45 mins outside of Fairbanks to a frozen lake that he was familiar with. As soon as we arrived, the skies lit up...it was unlike anything any of us had ever seen...remarkable! We loved that he is an expert photographer, and he got some fantastic shots of us. He also helped the one photographer in the group set up her camera and tripod to get the best shots. The rest of us used our iphones and actually got some decent pics too, although nowhere near the quality of what Steven did. We'd love to come back in the summertime for backcountry hiking with Steven, as he really knows the area quite well.See more..
I've done a few tours with this company and they've always been really great. I did the half-day glacial hike and felt like I saw so much and it was an amazing. I did a guide in August with a friend and September with my parents and just the changes in the glacier within a month was amazing to see. You can also really tell the guides are well informed and passionate and love being guides here. You really can't go wrong with any tour. As my step-dad said: "I did something I didn't know needed to be on my bucket list!" I also did an ice climbing tour with the guide Tristan. Easily one of my favorite things I've ever done and I want to do more of it. Tristan is very confident and knows how to make you feel comfortable. Great guide! See more..
5.0Moose Pass Adventures(21 reviews) - Moose Pass kayaking on Trail Lake Multi-day Tours • Boat Tours • Gear Rentals • Private Tours • Kayaking & Canoeing • Day Trips
So glad we found this place—we were able to rent a very stable, comfortable double kayak for several hours of beautiful paddling on a stunning lake surrounded by mountains. All necessary gear was provided with excellent instruction on safety and helpful hints for exploring both the lake and the surrounding area. Jen was very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!See more..
5.0Alaskan Luxury Cruises(15 reviews) - Captain Jeff, Kate and the Master Chef Outstanding Multi-day Tours • Private Tours
To my friends in the Travel Advisor community, I highly recommend Captain Jeff and his beautiful yacht, Sea Mist. The time on the yacht was part of a very intricately planned tour of Montana and Alaska. No details were left undone, including movie night popcorn, and my clients had a fantastic time on the yacht thanks to Capt. Jeff, Kate, and Dave. Be a hero to your clients, and book with Alaskan Luxury cruises.See more..
Alex was really good at communicating from my first phone call to him and he was very accommodating for our group. He was very patient with those of us without good fishing skills. Excellent teacher! We all had such a good time and would not hesitate to book another fishing trip with him again. His partner Shawn was excellent as well!See more..
5.0Arrowhead Outfitters Alaska(6 reviews) - Top notch hunting experience in the Northern Brooks Range/Arctic Tundra Sunday: Multi-day Tours • Cultural Tours • Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Taxis & Shuttles • Climbing Tours • Gear Rentals • Hiking & Camping Tours • Private Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Air Tours • Day Trips
Setting up the hunt was easy from the start working with Misty. She sent us recommended gear lists which made things simple if you're bringing your own camping gear. The contract was straight forward and if I had any questions she was always happy to answer questions or put me in touch with one of the other members of the team. Upon arrival to their base camp we were immediately given an update on fly times and what to expect as far as weather. The pilots were incredible and very informative. Arrowhead Outfitters went above and beyond when a piece of equipment got left on the shore. Outstanding group of people and our group cannot wait to do another fly-in hunt through them.See more..
5.0Seek Alaska Tours(6 reviews) - Great excursion from Petersburg Multi-day Tours • Boat Tours • Fishing Charters & Tours • Private Tours • Day Trips
Took a tour to the Leconte Glacier near Petersburg, Alaska. What a great experience! We were able to get very close to the face of the glacier after cruising up the fjord through many icebergs. This could never be done on a large ship. Seek’s all metal boat holds about 12 passengers and offers fairly comfortable seating and spectacular outside viewing. The captain and his son are wonderful people and add to the experience with their humor. Great experience.See more..
5.0Kotzebue Sound Wild(4 reviews) - Wonderful experiences on the water! Multi-day Tours • Taxis & Shuttles • Private Tours • Day Trips
Recently I’ve had the good fortune to travel with Doug on two different trips. He is knowledgeable, prepared, and a skilled host and guide. I learned so much about some of the natural areas around Kotzebue, accessed by water in his wonderful boat. Highly recommended!See more..
This was a trip of a lifetime! So many things were amazing...awesome crew, food (freshly caught fish and crabs), experiences (hiking, fishing kayaking, glaciers up close, and sooooo much wildlife)! This is a smaller boat guided by crew members that really know the secrets of the area so we were able to get so close to wonderful spots. We would highly recommend this trip!See more..
From the moment we arrived I felt like we were fishing with friends and staying with family. This place is all about you and your experience, as it only hosts one group at a time. My daughter and I got to take little self guided adventures around the island, pick salmon berries, beach comb and of course captain Chuck made sure the rods were bent.See more..
