Nature and Fun Combined

This 9-day tour was exactly what our family needed—active, scenic, and educational. Our guide was fantastic with the kids, and we never felt rushed or bored. The visit to Denali and the SeaLife Center was particularly memorable. We also loved the time spent at the dog sled homestead. Every activity had something for both kids and adults. Highly recommend for families wanting a balance of nature, fun, and learning.
