About us
Salmon Berry Travel & Tours was founded on the idea that life in Alaska should be fun!
Throughout our history, this idea has delighted countless guests of all ages from around the world and delivered appreciation and awards. In a world of big box tours and commercialized Alaska experiences, we continue to deliver genuine and authentic Alaska hospitality, day tours, and tailor-made multi-day travel packages.

SUSTAINABILITY
Salmon Berry has made a commitment to the environment in an effort to keep Alaska pristine for future generations. We have designed our tours to have minimal impact on the communities that we visit; from our reusable water bottle initiative to our rechargeable hand warmer initiative, to our naturalist-led Anchorage Eco Tour, we empower our team and our guests to join us in a sustainable tourism mindset. As stewards, our team has donated personal time to partake in local trail building/restoration projects and city-wide clean-ups. We have partnered with the Renewable Energy Alaska Project on their Tour Green Program and the Beluga Whale Alliance as a part of their collaborative research to support local organizations striving to make a difference.
