Hidden Alaska!
March 18, 2011 | By Collette Peck
A small-group Alaska adventure to the state’s best wildlife spots!
Grizzly Bear in Alaska
- Encounter grizzlies up close at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park
- Cruise among icebergs and marine wildlife on a private yacht in Kenai Fjords
- Overnight at a deluxe backcountry lodge deep within Denali National Park
While superlatives strive to convey the grandeur of Alaska, they never quite manage to capture the reality. Our “Hidden Alaska” trip does, though. We take you far afield from the heavily touristed routes to get you up close to the real Alaska: To the inner heart of Denali. Alongside the face of a calving glacier. At river’s edge, watching giant brown bears fish for salmon. This is Alaska “less discovered”: bigger, wilder, more amazing than you’ve imagined. You’ve got to see it for yourself.
Group Size Limit: Approximately 13 Travelers
A very important feature of our trips is the limited group size, as nature expeditions are best experienced with smaller groups of travelers. Our Alaska group tour is no exception.
