  You're a SEE IT ALL Savant!

  Life is short and vacation time shorter! Who knows when you'll be back here? You don't want to miss a single thing including all the iconic and best places while you have a chance. You make no apologies for being busy and packing in plenty of adventure on vacation!Alaska is just so VAST. For you, narrowing it down is going to be hard. But you can do it! And it will be worth it. You’ll still have an amazing adventure maximizing every minute.For my See It All friends like you, I think the ideal Alaska Itinerary is a 2 week Cruisetour which is a combination of a one way cruise and a land tour (you can do the land portion on your own). This is really the only way to go to lots of different places without losing your mind. If you hate that idea, then you'll need to narrow it down a bit more. For a trip that does not involve a cruise, I recommend a road trip based out of Anchorage (like this done for you one). In a couple weeks you can go to Denali National Park, Kenai Fjords National Park and explore a bit more around the Kenai Peninsula or another National Park. If you have more time, you can add on more adventures like additional National Parks or more time on the Kenai Peninsula. Or big adventures in remote locations, like bear viewing or going above the Arctic Circle.This information is also on it's way to you inbox so you will be able to find it again easily!Need an expert to help you maximize every moment of your Alaska vacation without losing your mind? 👋 I can help!

  You're an Outdoor Action Hero!

  Image Source

  Being outdoors and moving your body gives you life and you want to do as much as possible outside while on vacation or traveling! You don't mind missing out on other things to make more time for hiking or kayaking. You get to know a place with human powered activities and make this your top priority when you're away from home.Great news...you’ll be in paradise in Alaska! There are hiking and kayaking opportunities in every town you might visit on any itinerary. There are other ways to get outside too, like fishing charters, bike rides and skiing and snowmobiling in the winter. The only hard thing for you will be deciding where to go, and I encourage you to pick just one or two places.Why? Because Alaska is vast, and any time you move from place to place you’ll be spending many hours driving or on a boat, airplane or train which isn’t ideal for you if you want to have time for outdoor fun!To narrow it down a bit, I recommend a road trip with Anchorage as your base camp. You could easily stay in Anchorage for a week or more and not run out of hikes. Anchorage has miles of bike trails (with rentals) and several great ports for kayak tours within a couple hours (Whittier and Seward). There are lots of hikes along the Seward Highway too!If you want to get off the beaten track a bit more, base your trip out of Juneau and spend a few days hiking and kayaking there before heading over to Glacier Bay. If you travel to Glacier Bay on your own, you'll have much more solitude than 95% of visitors who come on a cruise ship.If you're considering a cruise to Alaska, there are hiking opportunities in every port and kayak tours and other outdoor adventures at every stop.This information is also on it's way to you inbox so you will be able to find it again easily!Need an expert to help you fit in as many outdoor adventures on your Alaska Adventure?👋 I can help!

  You are a SOLITUDE SEEKER

  Getting away is all about a change of scenery for you. You are traveling to experience something new and you're happy to give up that iconic place everyone else is going if it means less crowds and lines. You want to relax and experience a new place. You don't mind if the details aren't all figured out before you go, you'll find your way with the help of locals and what you feel like doing day to day.I have a few suggestions for a perfect Solitude Seeker Alaska Itinerary...My favorite itinerary for solitude seekers is a Juneau and Glacier Bay. Juneau is a busy cruise ship port BUT if you get a vacation rental out in the valley and stick to hiking trails or small tours, you won't feel like you're in a busy place at all. Only 5% of Glacier Bay's visitors get to see the land in Glacier Bay, so either a stay at the lodge of the campground will really get you away from it all.Another idea is to head to super remote Wrangell-St Elias National Park. Stay at the Kennicott Glacier Lodge or do a backcountry guided trek on foot or by packraft. This epic Alaska experience is unforgettable!I would also love to encourage you to consider a winter visit!Valdez, Homer, Haines and Sitka are also all places where you can find solitude and go to places not as many visitors make it to. Sitka is a busy cruise ship port, but like Juneau you can do other things away from the cruise ships.This information is also on it's way to you inbox so you will be able to find it again easily!Need an expert to help you find solitude and rejuvenation on your Alaska Adventure?👋 I can help!

  Feel the Love...You're a FAMILY ADVENTURER

  It's all about having a great time with your people for you, and Alaska will be your backdrop where you make those memories happen!A cruise, especially a round trip cruise from Seattle or Vancouver is an ideal way for a family, group of friends or a couple to bond over epic views and adventures ashore. If a cruise doesn't appeal to you, then I recommend getting a vacation rental or a hotel cabin and making that your base camp. Anchorage/Girdwood, Fairbanks, Juneau and the Kenai Peninsula are great locations for this.National Parks are also a wonderful way to make family memories without breaking the bank. Denali National Park and Kenai Fjords National Park are both accessible with a rental car or on the Alaska Railroad. Other Alaska National Parks are amazing, but are harder to get to.These options give the most time to have fun together and experience Alaska and minimize the travel hassles and the number of days you spending travel and getting from place to place. If you want to move around more, you might consider renting a RV, a fun introduction to camping and a sure way to make lifelong memories.This information is also on it's way to you inbox so you will be able to find it again easily!Need an expert to guide you through the booking process and make sure you book the perfect trip for your family? 👋 I can help!
