An Alaskan Wilderness Adventure

Day 1

Anchorage

On arrival, you will meet with the rest of the travellers that would make up the group. A welcome gathering is scheduled for the evening after your transfer to the accommodation.

Day 2

Anchorage / Seward

Day two begins after a nice warm breakfast at the accommodation you and your family will be stationed at. Post breakfast the journey will commence down the scenic Seward Highway, crossing the Turnagain Arm. This location is home to some of the world’s largest bore tides that cause a massive wave into the waterway each day. Next, the group will head on out to the Alaska SeaLife Center, a world-class aquarium that is a part of many international projects.
The rest of the afternoon will be at your leisure to explore Seward on your own. Or you can choose an adventure-packed afternoon in Alaska while dog sledding, kayaking or hiking across a glacier.

Day 5

Talkeetna/Denali National Park And Preserve

Day five of the tour will witness the group heading towards Denali National Park. As we get closer to the national park we get closer to Denali or “the great one”, which is the highest peak in North America. There are several other peaks in the region, but Denali dominates the horizon of the national park and the surrounding region. On reaching the gateway you get to pick up the junior ranger packets for the young ones and then meet a field guide at the Denali Educational Centre. The guide takes the young ones across the centre educating them about the ecosystem of the region and how the natives used to survive the region’s harsh weather conditions for generations.

In the afternoon the group will be taken to the humble abode of a true Alaskan hero, Jeff King. Mr King is the four-time winner of the gruelling, 998 miles long Iditarod dog-sledding race. Here the young ones will have the opportunity to snuggle up to some cute husky puppies. And watch grown champion sledding dogs go through their summer training regime.

Day 6

Denali National Park And Preserve

This morning the group will head-on into the heart of the National Park and preserve for a wildlife safari. The park’s unique wildlife stands out in the vast landscape of the preserve; the drive across the park is the best way to observe them in their natural habitat. The next stop will be the Eielson Visitor Center where you’ll have the opportunity to spot Denali’s “big five” like the Dall sheep, moose, caribou, grizzly bears and the ever-elusive wolves.

Day 7

Denali National Park And Preserve

Day seven will commence with a meet up with the locals of Alaska and get to know all about their way of life in the snowy haven. Post this the group will set off for a hike with a naturalist guide from the Denali Educational Center. Here the kids will have the chance to wrap up their junior ranger activities. The afternoon will be at your leisure or you can choose to cruise the higher summit of Denali in an exciting helicopter ride.

Day 8

Denali National Park And Preserve/Anchorage

The morning on day eight will be at your leisure to take a final hike or an optional scenic river cruise. Post that the group will commence its journey back to Anchorage. In the evening join the group for the final farewell dinner and celebrate the exciting end of the tour.
