Adventure Tours
Majestic bears in the wild and massive rivers of ancient glacial ice are two things many people envision when they think “Alaska.” And this 9-day trip takes you through southern Alaska to see both, including a helicopter ride to experience dog sledding on a glacier, and a flight to prime bear-viewing country in Katmai National Park. You’ll also enjoy other iconic Alaskan adventures like a wildlife cruise and exploring the charming town of Homer.
