Hidden Alaska

A small-group Alaska adventure to the state’s best wildlife spots!

Trip Overview

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.

Location of Adventure
Alaska

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.

Not Included
Travel to and from starting and ending point of trip, gratuities, beer, and liquor at hotels and lodges, dinners on our stopovers in Alyeska and Anchorage, items of a personal nature (phone calls, laundry, etc.), travel insurance, optional activities such as rafting, flightseeing, and kayaking on Fox Island.

Physical Requirements
Easy to Moderate / Flexible
The activities on our Alaska group tour are diverse. Although the longest walk required is one mile (to the falls in Katmai), longer walks and hikes are available for those who choose to enjoy them. We stress that travelers are not required to participate in every activity.
