Dates & Rates

The folks at Alaska Tours were great. All of the arrangements were taken care of very well. The lodge at King Salmon was first class. The staff there, and at the sea plane areas, took very good care of us. I would recommend Alaska Tours to anyone who wants to take a trip like we did.
