Adventure Awaits in Alaska

Explore the great outdoors, participate in thrilling activities like glacier trekking or rafting, or enjoy more relaxed ventures such as hiking, biking, fishing, camping, and immersing yourself in breathtaking wide-open spaces. Take a train ride, day cruise, or flightseeing tour for chances to spot wildlife, from bears to whales. Experience Alaska Native culture through cultural tours or festivals. And if you visit in winter, there’s skiing, snowboarding, dog sled tours, and more—and don’t miss watching the northern lights dance across the night sky. No matter how you choose to get around, from road trips, planes, trains, motorcoaches, or cruise ships, you’ll discover that the journey is all part of the adventure
