Vacations In Alaska Are An Experience

By Nick Thompson


Vacations in Alaska vary from an outdoor camping getaway at one of the quite a few parks to a number of days onboard a luxury cruise ship, sailing among the glaciers of the Inside Passage to traveling a rail coach from Anchorage to Fairbanks. There is something for everybody in Alaska: nature preserves, museums, celebrations, canoeing and water-skiing, and trips by airplane, helicopter, RV, car, bicycle, trekking, and by boat.

Learning Program Holidays

Near Kodiak, AK, an archaeological field camp welcomes visitors in their study of the Alutiq tribe. Tent lodging, foods, and transportation to and from the dig site over the bay from the camping site is provided by boat. Bring your own sleeping bag and pillow. Anchorage and Eagle River offers excursions of less visited sites for which continuing education credits can be obtained.

Summer and Winter months Camps

Beginning in Anchorage, fly-in family and youth summer and winter camps are happening in the rural Bush of Alaska. Campers participate in mountain climbing, pack rafting, hiking, geocaching, and learn wilderness skills in one and two week sessions.

Sightseeing

Sightseeing is accomplished in myriad of fashions. Whether touring singly or by group, with a guide or independent, on ground or water, the points of interest to see are distinctive and unforgettable. Tour professionals of different parts of Alaska can be found at each and every port of call of cruise ships and at most air terminals through the entire state.

Photography and Painting Tours

Hiking, water-skiing, and whale watching tours are excellent opportunities for photography and artwork fanatics to catch a one-of-a-kind sight not possible anyplace but in Alaska. Whether it is the calving of a glacier, breeding of the humpback whales, or a polar bear on the hunt for his subsequent meal, this is one of the very best ways to see, enjoy, and capture Alaska at its finest.

Alaska is the last frontier and a vacationer's heaven. Come and have fun!
