The spring snows have melted and Alaska sun rays shine brightly until almost Midnight. From ducklings to bear cubs, nature’s next generation has arrived along with the two-legged variety of visitor, by cruise ship, car and airline. Summer in Alaska is HERE!
Alaskans like to make full use of every daylight hour during the Summer to celebrate community with a full plate of Midnight Sun adventures lined up for all to partake in. Maybe you’d like to go kayaking after dinner or leave on a photo safari for wildlife viewing in the dusk of evening?
And if you’re headed our way this year, make sure to try to get in on the action of local Summer festivals, prevalent throughout the state and featuring music, marathons, baseball and salmon (of course)!
Planning a trip to Alaska for Summer 2024? Then take a gander at these two action-packed itineraries!
Day trippers will love our Arctic Circle Day Tour from Fairbanks. You’ll fly north from Fairbanks by bush plane to land in Coldfoot just across from the Arctic Circle. You’ll then learn all about the Brooks Range Wilderness on a 2.5-hour land tour before more flightseeing over the Yukon River, the Brooks Range, the Gates of the Arctic National Park, and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.
Or maybe you’d prefer the Alaska by Rail and Car Tour, an 8-day odyssey combining scenic rides on the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage to Fairbanks and a relaxing self-drive through Fairbanks and Valdez followed by the classic Denali National Park wildlife tour by bus.
A summer vacation in Alaska will wow your family and friends like none other. Let’s go create some fabulous memories!
