If you love the outdoors, you’ve come to the right place. Alaska is infamous for the ultimate in recreational fun and our locals love nothing better than hosting visitors on fun activities from rafting to kayaking, ice climbing to ice fishing. Grab your sneakers, camera and fleece and GET OUTSIDE!

Wildlife

Alaska defines “wild life”. After all, there are more moose, bear, whales and caribou in Alaska than people (for sure). On a trip to Alaska you can learn all about animal habitats, feeding and mating behaviors and migrations but best of all, you get to meet them in person. You’ll simply never forget it.

Natural Attractions

Northernlights

When you travel up north, special things happen. The sky turns funny colors. The sun never sets. Glaciers which have existed for centuries, suddenly crash into the water. You can even relax in a burbling hot spring right after you’ve hiked across that icefield. Wouldn’t you want to be part of this action?

Cultural Discovery

Another unique treasure of Alaska are her native peoples. Iñupiat, Yupik, Aleut, Eyak, Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, Athabaskan cultures have pioneered fascinating ways of surviving in Alaska’s challenging weather and terrain. Learn about them. Dive into Gold Rush and oil boom history. Meet a local and listen to their stories.

Experience wildlife in their natural habitat

No where else in the U.S. can you find such abundant wildlife as in Alaska. Our “big 5” are just the icing on the cake. From musk ox to moose, dall sheep to dolphins, bear to bison, we’ve got them ALL in Alaska. Meet a few of our 4-footed friends in person. Learn how they thrive in Alaska’s many ecosystems.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

  • "Excellent service. My wife surprised me for my 75th birthday with a winter trip to Alaska. Alaska Tours gave us excellent service and booked all our excursions and hotel accommodations. Our travel consultant, Kimberley, was extremely helpful and selected perfect tours for us, including dog sledding, glacier hiking and northern lights viewing. It was a great experience."

    Ron P - Trip Advisor

  • "Alaska tours helped me create an EPIC adventure I will cherish the rest of my life. I knew when I called that I was behind in booking a Northern Lights adventure, Kimberley took the time to listen to what I was really wanting to do and found the perfect out of the box option! Would highly recommend them!"

    Amy Larsen - Google

  • "Absolutely hands down couldn’t have asked for better service! The tour guides on the excursions booked were AMAZING! The staff during our booking process of the trip were so well informed and compassionate about ensuring the selection of excursions were appropriate for all of our travelers - mainly make sure where we went would be safe enough for my 87 year young grandmother. Thank you for being a company that truly cares and wants to make a positive impact on those that are blessed to use your services."

    Rachel Welty - Google

  • "My clients loved their Alaska Tours trip in June 2022. They felt the company was responsive during their trip when changes had to be made and felt everything was well organized for an amazing experience. They would highly recommend to others."

    Nora Blum - Google

  • "I can't say enough good things about Alaska Tours. They are simply an outstanding travel company! My wife and I are both seniors and I wanted to show my wife Alaska by driving, rather than taking a bus or boat tour. I did a lot of searching for a travel company which did more than just the standard tours. Everything went smoothly. This was an amazing well planned and hassle free trip at an affordable cost. Betsy is very creative and flexible as a travel planner and she listens to your needs intently. We will definitely use Alaska Tours if we travel to Alaska again!"

  • AlaskaTours created an amazing trip for my Dad & I!! We got to experience so much awesomeness that Alaska has to offer. Our agent Kim was the best and thought of everything with us and took such care of us traveling in this crazy COVID time. Can't wait to return to Alaska.

    Maggie - Trip Advisor

  • My wife and I scheduled our trip to Alaska through Alaska Tours. It was her retirement vacation, and we wanted everything to be perfect. After having to reschedule because of Covid and changes in attractions' opening schedules, we went September 1 - 13. It was the trip of a lifetime. I can't say enough good things about all the people we dealt with at Alaska Tours!

    James - Trip Advisor

  • They helped me setup a train tour from Fairbanks to Anchorage and secure lodging along the way, even adjusting the days of my stay so I could explore the towns! I have happily recommended them to family and friends I know for their own trips!

    Matthew - Trip Advisor

  • We made reservations with Alaska Tours for a June glaciers and wildlife package back in January. Once the virus began to spread and travel mandates were established, our plans had to be altered. The wonderful team at Alaska Tours helped us modify and reschedule our trip so that we were able to go in August. The trip experience surpassed our wildest expectations!
