About us

“Planet Earth Adventures is the result of a simple dream . . . Show people the best of Alaska and have fun doing it. Plain and Simple”

We understand that our guests have a choice of tour operators to choose from when arranging their trip to Alaska. We are committed to providing you with high-quality tours. We take care of all of the details so you don't have to. If touring in a large group isn't for you and the idea of driving yourself doesn't appeal, a small group tour might be just the answer. As part of a smaller group, you'll experience a totally new style of travel, a different kind of attitude. It’s like being on vacation with a group of friends, like-minded travelers that you can share your day-to-day travel experiences. We'll go the extra mile to make sure you have the ultimate Alaskan experience. That's because our passionate and dedicated staff will quickly get to know your preferences and special interests, then spoil you with special detours off the beaten track to incorporate memorable little treats.

Explore the “must-see” areas of Alaska as well as some of the special, lesser-known areas. Embark on an extraordinary journey through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. At the end of your journey, you’ll leave Alaska with new friendships and treasured memories that will last a lifetime!

What we'll do

Enjoy this full-day tour through scenic Sewards as well Kenai Fjords National Park!

This full-day adventure features the best of South Central Alaska. Travel in a comfortable van from Anchorage to Seward, traveling along the scenic Turnagain Arm, past a series of backcountry glaciers and through the Placer River Valley. Upon arrival to the seaside town of Seward, you will embark on a 6-hour coastal catamaran cruise and explore Kenai Fjords National Park and the dramatic coastline of Resurrection Bay. Experience superb wildlife viewing in the Chiswell Islands Wildlife Refuge and get an up-close view of tidewater glaciers. Lunch is included onboard the cruise. That evening, make the return journey to Anchorage via road or the optional rail service back to Anchorage on the Alaska Railroad Coastal Classic with premium Gold-Star service.

Kenai Fjords National Park:
Spend a day cruising the unspoiled wonders of Kenai Fjords National Park. The narrated tour begins when your vessel ventures out from Seward to Resurrection Bay. Then, you’ll head out to the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska around Cape Aialik to the face of a tidewater glacier. As you marvel at the serene surroundings, listen for the thunder of “calving”—a process by which glaciers shed giant blocks and slabs of ancient ice and send it crashing into the still waters of this protected bay. Watch for a variety of marine life such as humpback whales, orcas, seabirds, sea lions, and otters. A complimentary lunch is served as you keep track of your route on flat-screen monitors.

Cancellation Policy

<p>In the unlikely event that we cancel a trip: you will receive a full refund.<br><br></p><p>CANCELLATIONS DUE TO WEATHER:<br>Our trips run rain or shine unless dangerous conditions exist. If you decide not to partake in your scheduled trip with us due to the weather forecast or because it is raining where ever you may be, the refund policies below will apply. If you are at our location, on time for your trip and it is steadily raining more heavily than a drizzle we will happily refund your trip if you do not want to go. You must be at our location at the time of your trip. Our weather is often completely different from even just 10 miles away.<br><br></p><p>A WORD ABOUT REFUND REQUESTS:<br>We are a small company in remote Alaska with only 100 days in the year to make our living. We have one of the most generous Cancellation Policies around; however, we do not issue refunds for last minute cancellations, changes or late arrivals. It will simply be too late for us to fill the spaces that we have set aside for you. Thus, we do not issue refunds for no-shows, changes or cancellations within 72 hours of the trip start time. This applies to, but is not limited to unforeseen circumstances such as unexpected illness, road construction, getting lost or any number of events that could happen.<br>We cannot wait for late arrivals as this is unfair to our guests that are on time for their tour. If you arrive late you may miss your trip even if that group has not departed yet. This is because even though you are there, your checking in and getting ready will delay the rest of the group. Late arrivals who miss their trips will be considered a no-show and will not get a refund for any reason. Late arrivals will also not be rescheduled to another trip without booking and paying for another tour. We pride ourselves on our professionalism, excellent customer service, and the best tours on the Matanuska Glacier. All we ask is that you show up on time for your tour. We strongly recommend travel insurance to cover you in the event of an unexpected delay.</p>
