Alaska holidays
Alaska holidays embrace the extreme. The USA’s highest peak, Mt. McKinley, is located in Denali NP. It’s home to the largest national park in the USA, Wrangell–St. Elias, at over 32,000 km². And much of it is only accessible by boat or plane. Go glacier climbing, kayak through fjords, hike the tumultuous taiga and sub-arctic tundra with resident wildlife wonders such as whales, grizzly bears and wolves. But just go.

Adventure is top of the list in what is available! No more could have been seen and done in 20 days! (more)Harrie Lerman
I loved this tour - it was amazing! Being able to travel Alaska in a converted school bus, with amazing guides and a fantastic group of like minded people, made for an incredible trip. We got to see some beautiful places and animals, ate really well and generally just had the best time. (more)Sasha Lim
Since this was my first trip on my own I felt very comfortable with the holiday providers as the owners were the people directly running the trip. They were always available to answer questions both before and during the trip. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking for an exciting overland tour of Alaska (and Canada too!). (more)Julie Woods

Our guide, Dave, had a lot of great information to help us along the way. I loved the bush camp off the Maclaren glacial river.
