Itinerary

Day 1 Start Anchorage

Welcome to Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska with 300,000 people and a city that has undergone quite a change since the 1964 earthquake. Now a bustling city fuelled by an oil boom and tourism, it wasn’t so long ago that Anchorage was the final outpost for explorer...

Day 2 To Denali National Park via Talkeetna; sled dog demonstration

Leaving Anchorage, we enter the wilderness almost instantly and head towards Talkeetna where we'll stop to stretch our legs and pick up a local delicacy, reindeer sausages, to try later on. Our destination is Denali National Park, home to legendary Mount Denali, the h...

Day 3 Walks in Denali National Park

Enjoy a full day exploring the park with an included bus pass on the East Fork Shuttle – the only way to get into the incredible (and vast) wilderness. Try to spot Alaska’s Big 5: caribou, Dall sheep, moose, bear and wolves. Denali is one of very few national parks wh...

Day 4 Optional activities in Denali National Park

Today we discover more of Denali National Park and its vast wilderness using our included shuttle bus ticket. For those looking for a little more adventure, there are several optional activities available, including mountain biking and white-water rafting. Optional a...

Day 5 Optional bush plane flight past Mount Denali; transfer to Cooper Landing

Today we depart from the Alaska Range and travel south, making our way to Cooper Landing at the heart of the Kenai Peninsula. We stop to stretch our legs and for photo opportunities along the way. There is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity today to experience Alaska f...

Day 6 Chugach National Forest hike and Kenai River safari

The adventures come thick and fast today as we first embark on a moderate hike through the Chugach National Forest to Russian River Falls, where we can see sockeye salmon leaping upstream to spawn. In the afternoon, we have another wildlife-spotting opportunity as we...

Day 7 Optional activities in Cooper Landing; transfer to Seward

Take a deep breath and enjoy Alaska at your own pace with a free day in Cooper Landing. Your tour leader will have recommendations for how to spend the day - you may like to take a hike to Crescent Lake, where moose, goats and bears are often spotted, or take a kayaki...

Day 8 Walk the Harding Icefield Trail along Exit Glacier

The staggeringly beautiful Kenai Fjords National Park offers wonderful wildlife- and bird-watching opportunities amid dramatic fjords and glaciers. Within the park is the huge Harding Icefield, claiming 300sqmi (775sqkm). If weather conditions permit, take a spectacul...

Day 9 Full-day wildlife cruise around Resurrection Bay

Set off on a full-day wildlife-viewing cruise around Resurrection Bay, Kenai Fjords National Park and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. To maximise the experience, the captain of the boat provides a detailed commentary on the wildlife we see and the area. ...

Day 10 Return to Anchorage; end

After breakfast and packing up camp, we return to Anchorage. Containing around half the state population, Anchorage in some ways looks just like any other sprawling American town, and after nearly 10 days in small towns and villages, the bustling streets will feel som...

Accommodation

The first night of this trip is at a hotel between Anchorage Airport and the city centre. Our US camping tours use national and state park campsites and a wide assortment of private campgrounds. Campgrounds in Alaska tend to be fairly rustic and remote, but most will have flush toilets and hot showers. The Denali campground offers close proximity to the park but is close to the highway so can be quite noisy. If you are a light sleeper, you might want to take earplugs. The campsite in Seward charges US$1-US$3 for showers (paid locally). The campground in Cooper Landing sits right on the Kenai Lake, with great views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Fresh drinking water and flush toilets are available, but it's necessary to drive 10 minutes to the shower block (the tour leader will facilitate this). Showers cost US$4.50 (paid locally). We sleep in high quality, heavy-duty tents and solo travellers will share with one other passenger of the same sex (unless opting to purchase the single supplement). Our camping equipment also includes field kitchens, inflatable sleeping pads, food storage and camp lanterns. Most campsites have a quiet time from 10pm to 7am. Please respect your fellow campers who are there to enjoy the peace of camping. Camp duties An essential part of a camping tour is helping out with the day-to-day camp duties and everyone will assist with the setting up and packing up of the campsite. Your tour leader will provide guidance on what to do; typically it will only take 15 minutes to set up or break down the tents and camp kitchen. Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying home sweet home in the great outdoors. Your tour leader will also co-ordinate and assist the group with food shopping, preparing meals and cleaning up. Sharing the camp duties is a great way to bond with your fellow travellers and the group camaraderie is all part of the experience.
