Way beyond our expectation!
From our initial contact calling the Alaskan Adventure unlimited office to inquire, Erica and Kelsey, lifetime Alaskan residents, were immensely helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. They directed us to the information we requested, allayed our concerns, and after we selected our favorites from an impressive variety of activities offered, they put together our custom- selected 10-day dream vacation with personalized interest and excellent care! We invited 6 close friends to join us which enabled us to travel together in our "own" Alaskan Adventure van, decked out with extra binoculars to borrow, cold drinks whenever we wanted, and a great sound system to learn from our exceptional guide, Dwight, as we traveled. What a wonderful person! He went out of his way to fulfill our requests along the way, from birding sightings, Mt. McKinley photo stops, ice cream and shopping stops, and all the while regaling us with history, stories, and Alaskan lore. Having been on an Alaskan cruise previously, we thought we had seen glaciers. No comparison! Nothing could have prepared us for the Glacier sightings of this trip! Helicopter views of piercing blue glacier lakes, landing and actually tasting the glacier water! Unforgettable! Flight seeing and landing on a stunning Glacier plunging down between towering mountains, 8/10ths of a mile deep. We caught Salmon, and Rockfish during an ocean fishing excursion, kayaked in the waves, wandered the forests, thrilled during river rafting, went speed boating to another breathtaking Glacier, rode dog sleds, hiked in Denali National Forest, viewed bear, seals, caribou, Whales, several moose, and amazing landscapes! This trip was seriously beyond our greatest expectations! The hotels were very nice, the food very good, the Chalets and Lakeside hotel quaint and memorable, but the activities were fabulous! The planning, attention to detail, professionalism and overall experience with Alaska Adventure Unlimited was well worth the "bit more" investment!

Excellent, fun, exciting and educational.
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.
