About us
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
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.
