DISCOVER SOUTHEAST ALASKA

WE INTRODUCED OUR WILD ALASKA ESCAPE: SITKA TO JUNEAU VOYAGE

in 2017 and it has proved very popular. Active and engaging, it delivers a thrilling

experience of the northern sector of Southeast Alaska in an ideal six-day time

frame—hitting the iconic highlights, like Haines, Alaska’s adventure capital, where

you’ll have the opportunity to hike, bike, and even soar over Glacier Bay National

Park & Preserve on an included flightseeing adventure. Now, by popular demand,

we’re offering a mirror version: our new Wild Alaska Escape: Juneau to Ketchikan

that heads south, for more off-the-beaten-track exploration and discovery.

Choose to head north or south to experience Southeast Alaska. Or enjoy all of these highlights and more by combining these itineraries into an 11-day “Wild Alaska Epic” adventure, and take advantage of a 10% savings and an exclusive helicopter flight and guided hike on Mendenhall Glacier.
