    Major Marine Tours - Kenai Fjords Cruise image
    Major Marine Tours delivered a memorable experience for our family of four. Captain Laura, Katrina, and the rest of the crew were informative, engaging, and enthusiastic. This team shared the history of the Fjords and shared in the excitement when we spotted Orcas, otters, sea Lions, humpback whales, puffins, eagles, etc. I highly recommend splurging for this day long tour since it may very well be the most memorable one of your trip.

  5. 5.0 K2 Aviation (3.039 reviews)
    - Seriously Amazing
    Sunday: 7:00 AM - 9:00 PM Sightseeing Tours • Air Tours
    K2 Aviation image
    Its really important to note that the weather is a huge constraint on this activity. My boyfriend and I booked the flightseeing tour with glacier landing months in advance with of course no idea the weather. We got extremely lucky being the day of our flightseeing tour, was the only day of our entire trip that had clear skies. The flight was amazing, pilot Phillip was so nice and informative. He even took some amazing photos of us in front of the plane. I get motion sickness pretty easy but this was not an issue for me. Before boarding the flight, I asked if I could sit up front and the pilot said yes saying "its kind of a 'whoever asks first' can sit in the front". The front seat is most definitely the best view but they navigate the plane in a way where everyone gets a chance to see everything. K2 made our experience super relaxing and stress free. We stayed right in Talkeetna so we just simply walked to K2 aviation and essentially walks on the plane. See more..

    Alaska Wildlife Guide LLC image
    We, as a group of 18 neighbors, were lucky to have Dave, Tyler and Barbara as our drivers and guides for the Heritage Tour of Fairbanks one day; Chena Hot Springs and Northern Lights Tour another day: Aurora Viewing Cabin still another day: and finally for the Arctic Circle Trip. They packed a lot of vacation into one week for us. All were very attentive to our needs as an "active adult" (read senior) group! The information/narration along the way was excellent. They were always punctual when it came to picking us up at our lodge. Although we did not see the full Auroras, we did get a glimpse of them on the Arctic Circle Trip. All in all it was a great experience with Dave, Tyler and Barbara and would recommend Alaska Wildlife Guide for excursions in Fairbanks Alaska. Thank you! See more..

    - Wonderful Experience
    Sunday: Boat Tours • Sightseeing Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Rail Tours • Day Trips
    Phillips Cruises and Tours image
    The entire experience was amazing. We got there a couple hours before the cruise was going to leave so we walked around Whittier which was so fun. Going through the tunnel to get to Whittier was also pretty exhilarating! The cruise itself was perfect (26 glacier tour). We saw a lot of wildlife (whales, otters, seals and dolphins) and the cruise was so smooth. Our ship was from NYC and had a lot of history which was really interesting. Thankful they shared that history with us. No one got sea sick because the ship rides so smooth but also travels at 36 knots which is a pretty healthy speed. We got great pictures of the glaciers and really enjoyed the chowder that was provided for us. I highly recommend experiencing the 26 glacier tour in Whittier, as I have no negative feedback about the entire experience! See more..

    Kenai Fjords National Park image
    We took an 8 hrs tour with Alaska Tour & Travel from Anchorage. We moved by bus, train and boat. The excursion was well organized, we saw plenty of wildlife (sea lions, seals, birds) nature (forests, lakes) and glaciers. Better go by bus and return by Alaska Express, across the hole peninsula! The boat was moved very close to the –ice covered- land, so we could a lot of pictures. Got close up with several of large glaciers and we experienced to watch -live- an ice melting (sounds like earthquake)! Amazing experience, do not miss it! Make sure that you will wear warm clothes and have a raincoat! See more..

    We did glacier cruises, water rafting, hiking, bus tours, and glacier trekking in Alaska, and I want to say glacier trekking is the best. We got to step on the glacier, taste the ice, and drink the glacier water. We are a group of 14 people with young children and teens. Our guides, Kandel and Taylor, were very patient with us from the beginning to the end. They also provided educational information that the kids felt they were fascinating. We highly recommend MICA guides if you want something fun to do in Alaska. See more..

    Nugget Falls image
    This is very close to Juneau area. Very good access both hiking and parking. Easy access to glacier and hiking trails. Nugget falls is a must do. Easy flat hike to get right up to the glacier and falls. We went in April and there was still some ice and snow on the trail. We didn't have spikes or crampons but was easily done with hiking boots. Absolutely amazing views and you can literally walk right up to the falls. Great views even if you don't hike. The visitors center was closed and opens end of May.

  28. 5.0 Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve (1.398 reviews)
    - Stunning Glaciers
    Bodies of Water • National Parks • Nature & Wildlife Areas
    Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve image
    The highlight of the trip was exploring the Glacier Bay for 9 hours. Our Alaska cruise sails to the Inside Passage of a series of waterways formed by glaciers. It’s a beautiful day visiting the national park to see gigantic snow cap mountains and huge glaciers. It’s wonderful to see bright blue icebergs rising out of the water. I was surprised to see the Margerie Glacier’s signature crack and pieces fall off across the waves. I was amazed by this clean, natural preserved national park. The Glacier Bay Park Rangers went onboard early morning. They spend the day aboard to answer questions, explain the scenery as the ship explore the Glacier Bay to appreciate the wonders of the national park. At the same time, the Park Rangers enforce the laws to the safety, cleanliness of the national park and assist to prevent disaster for guests. The full day tour at the bay is well worth it. Both the glaciers and the surrounding scenery are spectacular. The entire place was stunningly gorgeous. See more..
  29. 4.0 Icy Strait Point (1.321 reviews)
    - Small cruise ship stop with good scenery but limited and expensive activities
    Sunday: Cultural Tours • 4WD, ATV & Off-Road Tours • Historical & Heritage Tours • Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks
    Icy Strait Point image
    Visited from our cruise ship. Very small place with lovely scenery but limited activities. IMO your best bet is to hike the short nature trails and take the cable car up the mountain for more hiking and scenic views. Would have loved to have done the seated zip line but not at 170 USD for one ride! We had prebooked the bear watch to the river combined with the whale watch and at around 250 USD each it wasn't worth it. We didn't see any bears and found out later that sightings here are rare. The whale watch was OK but we only saw a couple. There is much better whale watching at Juneau and Seward. See more..

    Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality & Gift Shops • Points of Interest & Landmarks
    Santa Claus House image
    You really kind of know what you’re getting when reading about this place ahead of time so it’s hard to be too disappointed. Tourist trap? Over-priced gift store? Tacky Christmas decorations? There doesn’t seem to be tons to do in the Fairbanks area (other than outdoor/nature related of course), so this was a nice little stop not requiring a far out of the way drive. It was enjoyable to see the shop. We didn’t buy much due to prices. Santa wasn’t in, but we were childless and so this was a non-issue. Overall I appreciated the Christmas theme of the city itself just as much or more so than the store. See more..

Our guides Mickey and Kora were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Some of the group saw a black bear, and there were many Eagles. It was an exciting way to view beautiful scenery and the weather turned out great. Definitely recommend this! See more..

    Hoonah Travel Adventures image
    This trip couldn't have been better. From the moment the shuttle collected us, to the moment they dropped us off again, the staff were friendly and keen to share their knowledge of the area and history surrounding it. Thanks to our eagle eyed guide, we were lucky enough to see a wild bear on a beach, before heading further out and finding a pod of very curious porpoises and a number of Humpback whales, including at least one with a calf. This trip exceeded our expectations and made for an incredibly enjoyable and memorable day. We got great value for money and would highly recommend this as an activity to anyone who is visiting Hoonah/Icy Strait Point. See more..

  44. 4.5 Flattop Mountain Trail (945 reviews)
    - It’s Only Flat on the Top
    Hiking Trails
    Flattop Mountain Trail image
    This is a very popular hiking trail for couples, families, and pets. About 1/4 mile above the parking lot, you’ll come to a fork in the Blueberry Loop trail; taking the left fork is the easier path to begin your ascent and has mountain and valley views. The right fork is steeper and longer and affords city and coastal views that you will experience at higher elevations after exiting the loop trail. The trail to the top becomes more difficult negotiating the staircases to reach the Saddle, which provides great 360-degree views on a clear day. The last 1/4 mile to the top gains about 1000 feet in elevation in a slow brutal scramble over loose rocks through crevices on a poorly marked trail if you’re determined to make it to the flagpole at the top. It’s easy hiking around the “martian” surface at the top. It took us about two hours to reach the top and one-hour to hike down with rests. Expect sore muscles and joints if you’re older or out of shape. See more..

    - Dog Sled Demo in August

    We took the roadside hike from the Visitor Center to the Dog Sled Kennels to see the demonstration. Very informative talk by the ranger to start the demo. Very much enjoyed seeing all the dogs, so beautiful & friendly. The dogs were all so eager to be part of the demo - they are started barking as soon as they knew it was time to start. Would definitely recommend this demo. Arrive early if on foot since they are many tour buses that stop here! We enjoyed the area after all the buses left - much more time to really see the dogs up close without all the people. See more..
  46. 4.5 Sitka National Historic Park/Totem Park (927 reviews)
    - Enjoy totem poles and a walk in the woods

    Sitka National Historic Park/Totem Park image
    While vacationing in Sitka on May 26, 2022, my wife and I visited the Sitka National Historic Park. There is no admission fee. The park was established to commemorate the 1804 Battle of Sitka between Russians and Tlingit's. A small museum contains a theatre with a 12 minute video about the Russian-Tlingit conflict. For me the reason to visit the park is to walk the trails through the rainforest. Scattered along the trails are totem poles. We visited on a beautiful, sunny day and just took a nice, relaxing stroll through the forest. See more..
  47. 5.0 Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours (916 reviews)
    - Amazing glacier tour
    Sunday: 4WD, ATV & Off-Road Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
    Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours image
    This was our second trip with Brady out to the Knik Glacier and it did not disappoint! We began our day with a little bit of sunshine that later became liquid sunshine. Brady was an amazing guide that adjusted our tour based upon the changing weather conditions; however, even with the rain, he never lost his enthusiasm. In fact, he actually became more enthusiastic with the rain!! The glacier was massive and the views were epic. I highly recommend this trip. See more..

    Red Onion Saloon Brothel Museum image
    Called in here a for a bite and beers after doing the white pass train ride. Had to wait a short while for a table as the place was very busy. What a fun place. Out waitress was excellent, friendly and efficient. Food was good, beer was tasty and the reindeer fart cocktails went down well. Every 30 minutes they offer a tour of the old brothel museum for an additional fee. Didn’t do this so can’t comment. Small gift shop in here as well. See more..
