It seems that these days, EVERYONE has the travel bug!
If you’re thinking of an Alaska trip, you might be asking yourself if it would be better to book an escorted (motorcoach/bus) tour or a package tour where your day is more predictable… or alternatively, should you rent a car and drive yourself with your accommodations booked in advance based on your itinerary? This is a question our travel planners at Alaska Tours get on practically a daily basis from Alaska vacationers! We give you our best advice in our article this month “Getting Around Alaska: How to Maximize Every Minute”.
Many of our guests also want to make sure their itineraries include as many National Parks as possible since Alaska has 8 national parks in addition to another 8 nationally-recognized rivers, monuments, preserves, and historical parks spread across the state’s 665,000+ square miles. Clearly you can’t see every spot on one trip but you can pack in several quite nicely! Check that out in our story “One Amazing Alaska Vacation: 8 Incredible National Parks”.
To help you decide how you want to experience the Last Frontier, browse through our Alaska National Parks Tour by Bus and Rail which is an 8-day fully-guided extravaganza combining visits to Denali National Park and Kenai Fjords National Park, sightseeing in Anchorage and stunning wilderness scenery, all from the comfort of your seat aboard the Alaska Railroad and in a deluxe van or motorcoach. A great idea for those who want to pair a land tour with an Alaska Inside Passage cruise.
Another option is our 2 week Alaska’s National Parks Tour. This self-drive itinerary for independent travelers transports you to 4 different national parks including Kenai Fjords, Denali, Wrangell-St. Elias and Katmai (or Lake Clark National Park) for bear viewing. You can even add on a visit to Gates of the Arctic National Park if you wish. You’ll get the full-on Alaska experience blending diverse wildlife, rich history and native culture with an active mix of outdoor fun from scenic flightseeing to marine life cruises and historical mine tours.
However and whenever you travel to Alaska, we’ll be here to ensure you maximize every second of your long-awaited Alaska vacation!
